WOOD’S FINE QUALITY HAY GRASSES 
Sudan Grass 
Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre broadcast. 
Sudan Grass Is primarily a hay grass, its slender leafy stems 
making: it easy to handle with ordinary haying machinery. It 
makes its greatest growth and produces the most feed during'july, 
August and September, when native grasses are less productive, it 
can be grown successfully on almost every class of soil from a 
heavy clay to a light sand, besides being particularly drought and 
heat resistant. It yields well in most parts of the United States, 
but does best in a warm climate, and the hay is relished by cattle, 
horses and sheep. 
The feeding value of Sudan Grass hay is equal to that of millet, 
timothy and other non-legume roughages. Work stock can be win¬ 
tered in good condition on Sudan Grass without any supplement¬ 
ary grain ration. It should largely supplant millet, which yields 
only a single cutting, whereas Sudan will give from two to three; 
stools out wonderfully after the first cutting; it is not uncommon 
to find a hundred stems growing from a single root. It is an excel¬ 
lent catch crop, requiring only 45 days before the first cutting. 
Primarily an excellent hay crop, Sudan is gaining in popularity 
as a summer pasture. In regions of low rainfall and high tempera¬ 
tures, its carrying capacity is superior to that of any other grass 
or legume. Sudan may be profitably grown with early maturing 
varieties of cow peas and soy beans, as being of erect growth it 
lends support to the pea and bean vines. 
Sow after the ground becomes thoroughly warm, preferably 
broadcast at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre. A grain drill may 
be used, set to sow two pecks of wheat. Cut when in bloom, for at 
that stage the feeding value is highest; yet there are few grasses 
so little injured by standing beyond the proper stage for cutting.

Orchard Grass 
A very vigorous grower and yields 
large crops of excellent and nutritious 
hay, as well as having special value as 
a pasture grass, furnishing good graz¬ 
ing from early spring till winter. It 
responds quickly after cutting or 
grazing, for in a few weeks of season¬ 
able weather it is ready for grazing 
again. It is particularly adapted for 
pastures, and has the further advan¬ 
tage of growing well in shade, giving 
excellent results when sown in or¬ 
chards and shaded parks. It adapts 
itself to a variety of soils, provided 
they are well drained, but succeeds on 
loamy uplands or moderately stiff 
soils, although it does quite well on 
soils that are inclined to be sandy. It 
is a deep-rooted perennial grass, but 
does not form a true sod, as it grows 
in tufts, so it is recommended that 
other grasses be sown with it. A mix¬ 
ture of 15 lbs. of orchard grass, 12 lbs. of tall meadow oat grass, 
and 8 lbs red clover has proved very satisfactory; is recommended 
for hay and pasture. Red top or herds grass. Kentucky blue, 
meadow fescue, perennial and Italian rye grasses and alsike clover, 
may be added to make a permanent pasture. When sown alone, sow 
30 to 35 lbs. to the acre.

Tail Meadow Oat Grass EvergrreenGrass 
This grass seems to make more leafage and grazing, a larger 
yield of hay and to keep green longer, both during the winter and 
summer, than most grasses. It withstands the heat, drought and 
cold: starts early in the spring and continues to give good grazing 
until late in the fall. It can be cut twice a season, frequently pro¬ 
ducing nearly double as much hay as timothy. Its nutritive quali¬ 
ties are first class; ripens at the same time as orchard grass and 
red clover. It is best adapted for good loamy uplands, and better 
than most other grasses on light and sandy soils. Sown with or¬ 
chard grass and red clover, sow 12 lbs. tall meadow oat grass 15 
lbs orchard grass, and 8 lbs. red clover. The addition of 6 or 7 lbs. 
of red top or herd’s grass to this mixture increases the aftermath 
and the yield of grazing. When sown by itself, sow 2 5 to 30 lbs. to 
the acre,'either in the spring or fall. Cut for hay at blooming time.

Timothy 
The Most Extensively Grown Hay Grass—12 to 15 lbs. Sow an Acre 
For hay, timothy is the best known and most extensively grown of all grasses. A 
stand is easily established, it is inexpensive to sow, it starts quickly and yields its best 
crop the year after it is sown, but the following year's crop may be equally as heavy it

for, unlike other grasses, it does not enrich the soil, but exhausts it, so that top-dressing 
with stable manure or fertilizer is advised; the fertilizer should contain a liberal amount 
of ammonia. If sown with sapling clover the clover will help to supply nitrogen. 
Meadow fescue or English blue grass, red top or herds grass and sapling clover all 
mature at the same season as timothy, and are good grasses to sow with it tor hay anci 
grazing, increasing the yield of hay and the yield and value of the pasturage. A good 
mixture is 6 lbs. timothy, 5 lbs. red top or herds grass. 7 lbs. meadow fescue, and 5 ids. 
sapling clover; this mixture will furnish an excellent hay and fine pasturage on 
loamy soils or on low ground. If timothy and sapling clover are sown together, mix 
8 lbs. timothy and f> lbs. sapling clover. . 
The common practice in the West of sowing timothy and red clover is not recon - 
mended, as red clover ripens earlier than timothy and timothy is easily injured by cti - 
ting and the hay shrinks in weight. The best time to cut is when it is in bloom; it is tnen 
easier to cure and its feeding value is highest. . 
Timothy grows best on clay or heavy loam, lowlands and in mountainous aistricts, 
but grows quite satisfactorily on any good loamy soil, provided there is abundant 
moisture.
