THE GREATEST OF ALL FORAGE CROPS 
Every Farmer Should Grow It This Year 
Our Price Very Low 
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 
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 
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 
hay. Being a warm weather crop it should not be sown till corn planting 
time and any time from then on to 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. 
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. In spite of heat and drought it grows right along. Your milk cows 
will give more milk. Your horses and mules will be kept in good flesh. Your 
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, 
i 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.

crop. It is used for hay, pasture, silage, soiling and as a 
seed crop. An enormous producer yielding as high as 50,000 
pounds of green feed per acre and 12,000 pounds of hay. 
Warmth, moisture and richness of soil regulate its growth 
which ranges from 5 to 8 feet. Will grow further north 
than Sudan and is a very popular crop in the northern and 
New England States as well as in the Corn Belt. 
Billion Dollar Grass belongs to the Millet family, and is 
also known as Japan Millet. Sown about first of May it 
should be ready to cut for hay about the middle of July. 
May of course be sown later. It is a one-year crop. It yields 
heavily and is relished by cattle, young stock and sheep. 
Makes good silage alone or mixed two parts Billion Dollar 
Grass and one part Soy Beans. Hay is higher in feed value 
than Timothy and seed is equal or superior to corn in value. 
Our seed is fine and our price quality considered is low.

Gentlemen: I am favorable to your seed for two 
reasons, first on account of the big savings and 
price on the high grade field seeds, and second the 
purity seems to be unexcelled by any other that I 
have ever bought. Other farmers here have used 
your seed with excellent results. 
(Signed) Mr. J. E. Dickey.

Gentlemen: I have got seed from the American 
Field Seed Company many years, and always got 
good seed and a dandy stand. Will have an order 
for you again next year.
