SUDAN GRASS for 
SILAGE 
Sudan Grass silage is about equal 
in feeding value to corn silage. 
However, on account of the ease 
with which Sudan Grass may be 
cured for hay or fed green, it is 
doubtful if it will ever be widely 
grown for ensilage purposes. Best 
silage crops are secured by drilling 
the seed in rows wide enough apart 
for cultivation, and giving the same 
frequent, shallow, level cultivation 
as for corn. 
SUDAN GRASS for SEED 
When grown for seed, highest 
yields are secured by sowing in 
rows and cultivating like corn. Har¬ 
vest when nearly ripe with a grain 
or row binder and cure in the shock 
like grain. The seed may be thresh¬ 
ed with an ordinary grain thresher, 
taking care to regulate the air blast. 
Sudan Grass crosses with Sorghum 
readily, so should not be grown 
near Sorghum if the seed is to be 
saved. 
ENGLISH BLUE GRASS 
or MEADOW FESCUE 
A very useful grass for perma¬ 
nent pasture. Makes excellent hay, 
succeeds even in poor soil; will en¬ 
dure severe freezing. Cattle thrive 
on it, whether it is dry or green. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
Will outlive any other grasses 
for pasture or lawn, but should not 
The Prime Alfalfa I purchased from 
ifou was extra good, as it made a fine 
stand, while a lot of my neighbors' 
alfalfa failed.

The Alfalfa Seed purchased last fall 
us up and shows a perfect stand. I 
have been ordering seed from you over 
a period of two years and am per¬ 
fectly satisfied.

MEADOW FESCUE 
be cut or pastured too closely in 
extremely hot, dry weather. The 
seed is slow in germinating, there¬ 
fore, it is advisable to plant with 
other varieties of quicker growing 
habits. Makes a sweet and nutri¬ 
tious pasture for all stock. 
RYE GRASS 
A very quick growing grass and 
for that reason makes an excellent 
pasture. Thrives on rich, moist 
land where from three to four 
cuttings may be made in a season. 
Will stand close pasturage. 
RED TOP 
As a hay crop Red Top is next 
to Timothy in importance. It will 
do the best on rather moist soil, 
but will thrive on most any soil. It 
is a good variety to sow with Tim¬ 
othy or Clover for meadow or pas¬ 
ture, and is more permanent than 
either of the other two. 
Enclosed find order for five bushels 
Prime Alfalfa. I have been sowing 
your seeds for several years and 
aluxiys got satisfactory results.

On May 1 I drilled two acres with 
your Prime Alfalfa. It note stands 
15 inches high. All a good stand.
