Sown in corn fields, two to four pounds per acre. The 
turnip grows long. Roots penetrate deeply into the soil 
and bring to the surface fertility that would otherwise not 
become available. Tops are eaten greedily by sheep, hogs 
and poultry. Roots add humus to soil and improve its con¬ 
dition. Sown July and August. See Price List. 
• 
Grows five to seven feet tall. Stems bear numerous wide 
leaves. Stalk is brittle and juicy. Makes excellent fodder, 
either green or dry, highly relished by stock. Produces heavy 
crop of seed, 50 to 60 bushels—useful for poultry feed. 
. . . For grain sow in rows three feet apart, sowing four 
to seven pounds seed per acre. . . . For fodder sow a 
bushel per acre, broadcast or in drills. Plant late May or 
early June for grain. . . . Late May to July for forage. 
• 
A great forage crop. Plant in June and July. Broadcast 
with grain drill, 1 y 2 inches deep, 1 bushel per acre. If 
planted in rows y 2 bushel seed is enough per acre. Any 
ground that will produce will grow Sorghum. The growth 
is on the order of corn and rapid. May be pastured by all 
stock. Feed gradually at first to prevent bloating. Valu¬ 
able soiling crop. If cut when young and about two feet 
high, will renew itself for later cutting. An acre of Sorghum 
yielding 15 tons of green forage would feed fifty cows for 
ten days. 
Sorghum may be cut and dried, and fed to all farm live 
stock. Does well all over the East and South. "Early Am¬ 
ber” is the preferred variety. See Price List. 
-Sudan Grass and Sweet Clover for Pasture-- 
Sudan grass makes a splendid pasture during the 
last half of July, August and September. First-year 
sweet clover makes an excellent pasture during Sep¬ 
tember and October. Second-year sweet clover is at 
its best for pasture in May and June. Apparently, there¬ 
fore, it is possible for Sudan grass to bridge over the 
gap between second-year sweet clover pasture and first- 
year sweet clover pasture. 
Most people who pasture sudan grass make the mis¬ 
take of turning livestock on it too soon. The sudan 
grass should be allowed to get at least two feet high, 
which means that it can very rarely be pastured before 
July 4th.
