Your Acres Will Surprise You When Growing These Crops 
I Every Farmer Should Grow It This Year 
i Our Price Very Low 
Hpa There will probably be a wide variation in qualities of Sudan Grass seed this 
year. Insist on the highest quality new crop seed. Our stocks are bright and 
. | high germinating and considering the quality our prices are very low. At this 
very low figure you can afford to sow it liberally. No similar investment in any 
other crop can bring you the enormous production of Sudan Grass. All dairy 
' g farmers should have it and every stock grower who wants maximum production 
from reduced acreage. 
Characteristics 
Sudan belongs to the Cane family. It came originally from Africa. It was 
ira|||a| imported because of its drought resistance. In yield it excels cane, millet, 
kaffir and similar crops. Sudan is a free stooler and makes a fine quality of 
|Cn&K|2| hay. Being a warm weather crop it should not be sown till corn planting 
F wffM lr time and any time from tl,en on t0 early July. Yields average three cuttings 
in the central corn belt. Grows only one year. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. to the acre. 
Drill in or broadcast and harrow. May be used as a smother crop for weeds. 
SnuaM Makes good ensilage and fine pasture and hay. 
Consider Its Value 
Why risk the danger of short pastures or hay when Sudan Grass gives 
so much. Tn spite of heat and drought it grows right along. Y’our milk cows 
will give more milk. Your horses and mules will be kept in good flesh. Y T our 
cattle will fatten on it. It will take no more fertility from the land than a crop of oats. The 
crop can be used for seed but its big value on the average farm is for hay and pasture, 
v Cut for hay when in full bloom and handle like millet. May be cut before or after full 
\ bloom if desired. Some cut with a binder and cure in shocks claiming that is the easiest 
\ and best way to handle. It’s a great crop, friends. You should be growing it.

Gentlemen: I am favorable to your seed for two 
reasons, first on account of the big savings and 
mice on the high grade field seeds, and second the 
purity seems to be unexcelled by anv other that I 
have ever bought. Other farmers here have used 
your seed with excellent results.
