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.

Your Acres Will Surprise You When Growing These 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 
\A by 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 
... . w* 11 S>y e m °re 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. 
Gut tor 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. 
Highest Quality New Crop Seed 
We believo our seed is the finest grade, new crop, recleaned seed. It has strong 
germination. You cannot buy better seed. Our Sudan Grass is a wonderful bargain. 
Be sure to sow some at this low price. Provide yourself with pasture that will flourish 
in the hot dry summer months. Use it for hay or green feed. It is one of the best 
money-making crops you can grow. The use of Sudan has been increasing rapidly in 
recent years and at our present astonishingly low bargain prices it will certainly sell fast 
So easy to grow, so enormously productive, so highly palatable to live stock and such a 
phenomenal drought resister. Put some acres to work on Sudan and make fine extra profits.
