SUDAN 
GRASS SEED 
Here is a crop that more farmers can use to their profit. 
During recent drought years it has been a life-saver on 
many farms. When everything else failed, Sudan came 
through. It provided much Summer hay that otherwise 
could not have been gotten. 
The quantity of Sudan Seed available this year is sup¬ 
posed to be quite a bit less than a normal supply. In spite 
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¬ 
mer hay and pasture program. 
Walter Townsend, of Cochranville, Pa., says that four 
acres Sudan Pasture carried 20 cows for four weeks. 
. . . And adds that he can depend on just about that same 
kind of pasture year after year—even during the hottest 
part of the Summer. 
Mr. Townsend sows much heavier than other folks do 
—11/2 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. 
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. 
Sudan grows quickly. First crop is often ready to cut in 
50 to 70 days after planting. Second crop sometimes in-
