SUDAN GRASS 
Haven’t you a few acres on your farm upon which you would 
like some hay that can be raised quickly and easily and that 
will'give you 4 to 8 tons of cured hay per acre? Plant Salzer’s 
Sudan Grass Seed! The drier and hotter the weather, the more 
will you be surprised at the wonderful yield. Salzer’s Sudan 
Grass is one of the most prolific hay crops ever grown; in the 
South it gives three crops and in the North, two crops of hay 
a season. A surprisingly rapid grower, and as a catch crop 
fully equal to Millet. Sudan Grass is used for pasture, ensilage 
and soiling as well as for hay. It does best on a rich loam soil, 
but it has been grown successfully on almost every class of 
soil from a heavy clay to a light sand. It is sweet, heavy- 
yielding grass; absolutely drought proof; stock of all kinds eat 
it greedily, often in preference to Alfalfa; it analyzes over 
9 per cent protein. 
Culture —Sudan Grass is an annual. Do not plant it until 
the soil is warmed up in the spring. Sow at the rate of 25 to 35 
lbs. per acre, using a grain drill and cover from 1 to ly 2 m. 
deep. A heavy seeding is desirable. The seed is cheap. Cut 
at the heading out stage. Easy to cut with mower and cures 
readily. Place in cocks, the same as Alfalfa, and leave it long 
enough for the stems to become dry. Cut again when high 
enough. If grown for seed, only one crop can be harvested. 
All live stock eat the hay readily and greedily. There is a 
place for Sudan Grass on every farm. It is cheap, it grows 
rapidly, and it makes its best growth when other pastures _ ... 
often fail during the hot weather. Can be sown any time 70 to 75 days before frost. There have been cases of cattle 
poisoning from Sudan Grass, but if not pastured until the plants are knee-high, nor if the plants become stunted 
from any factor or wilted, the amount of prussic acid is small and not dangerous. These are the findings of the 
Wisconsin Station who are constantly experimenting with Sudan-Grass. The cases of cattle poisoning have usually 
been from too earlv pasturing and allowing the cattle to eat a stunted and wilted crop, but the quick and enormous 
vield of hay and pasturage are of such tremendous benefit to the farm, that it is being more widely planted each 
year 35 lbs Sudan and 30 lbs. Soy Beans per acre, drilled in with a grain drill, in 18-20 in. rows, make a good hog

SALZER’S 
“LAUGH AND GROW FAT” 
HOG PASTURE MIXTURE 
One of the most vexing questions 
with every farmer during the summer 
months is a rapid meat producing hog 
pasture. In our Laugh and Grow Fat 
Hog Pasture we have a mixture so 
balanced to increase flesh that farmers 
cannot afford to be without it. 
“Laugh and Grow Fat Mixture’’ con¬ 
tains generally among others the fol¬ 
lowing: Billion Dollar Grass, Turnips, 
Amber Cane, Soy Beans, Speltz, Field 
Peas, Rape, Vetches, Oats, Rye, Millet, 
Timothy, Clover, Rye Grass, etc. It is 
well in ordering this Mixture to tell 
us whether you want it for early or 
late planting and the condition of 
your soil. (Sow 30 to 50 lbs. per acre.) 
This mixture consists of annual fod¬ 
der plants. Owing to the great variety 
of plants it is composed of, it is more 
greedily eaten than other forage, not only by hogs, but also by all other live stock, such as sheep, cows and horses.

PHALARIS 
(REED CANARY GRASS) 
A magnificent grass for wet, low-lying, poorly drained soils—in 
fact, the only grass we know of for reclaiming waste, marshy lands. 
On many farms are to be found low wet situations where neither Red 
Top, Alsike, nor anything else will grow, and for these situations, 
Phalaris or Reed Canary Grass is the thing to plant. Phalaris is 
very hardy and as the seed shatters so easily, coupled with the flowing 
and receding of the water, it spreads rapidly. 
The hay is a little coarse, especially if it is left to grow too long, 
but it is nutritious and tasty and all stock like it and relish it. The 
leaves are quite broad and the plant flourishes, often growing 5 to 7 
feet high. Underground stems rapidly form a tough sod and hold 
hay machinery without difficulty. Y’ields of 4.57 tons of hay per 
acre from two cuttings, have been reported. Cut the first crop for 
hay as soon as the heads or panicles appear. Two cuttings can be 
made and then some fall pasture may be had or 3 cuttings may be 
made. If you have any wet or swampy land, Phalaris is the grass 
to plant. 
Broadcast. 5 to 6 pounds per acre or drill in Vi in. deep, at the rate 
of 2 to 3 pounds in 18 in. rows. If the land is well drained so you 
can prepare a seed bed, do so. If covered with water, wait till the 
water recedes and then sow. May also be sown on the ground and 
snow in January, leaving it to settle with the weather. 45 11 —
