SUDAN 
GRASS SEED 
Here is a crop that should not be overlooked. It has proven 
to be a life-saver during several of these recent drought

far as Summer hay was concerned. 
The quantity of Sudan Seed available this year is sup¬

of this, very fair prices will likely rule the markets—and 
Sudan will still make a mighty inexpensive seeding. It will 
again play a very important part in many a farmer’s Sum¬

Walter Townsend, of Cochranville, Pa., says that four

kind of pasture year after year—even during the hottest 
part of the Summer. 
There are a few other reports on these pages about what 
other Hoffman patrons are doing with Sudan—but many 
more folks have found this crop a great help when they 
need that help the most. 
Mr. Townsend sows much heavier than other folks do 
— iy 2 bushels of seed per acre. Credits his success to heavy 
seeding. He sows Winter Rye in the Fall, pastures it in 
the Spring, until late April—then sows his Sudan Seed on 
that ground, and has been having continuous pasture until 
frost. 
Sudan grows quickly. First crop is often ready to cut in 
50 to 70 days after planting. Second crop sometimes in-
