Profitable Forage and Hay Crops 
1343 Canadian Field Peas 
We get hundreds of letters every season 
from farm friends throughout the nation 
asking that we suggest the best extra 
early annual Hay crop. “Well Folks” there 
isn’t anything that equals a mixture of 
Canadian Field Peas and Oats seeded in 
the early spring at the rate of 1 bu. of 
each per acre. This combination makes 
an average yield of 2 18/100 tons of ex¬ 
cellent feed per acre. Feed is almost equal 
lb. for lb. with Clover Hay. It is relished 
by all live stock. Canadian Field Peas 
are extremely hardy; therefore may be 
seeded very early along with your Oats. 
They may be broadcast or sown with a 
grain drill but be sure to cover the seed 
about % inch deep in either case. If you 
want this for a hog pasture suggest you 
add 5 lbs. of Essex Dwarf Rape per acre.

Sudan G-rass 
1413 Sudan Crass 
Wonderful Quick Hay Crop 
One of the best annual forage plants ever 
introduced, suitable for almost any local¬ 
ity. Sudan Grass thrives best on rich loam, 
but has been successfully grown on almost 
every kind of soil, from heavy clay to light 
sand. Cold, wet, boggy soils are not suited 
to Sudan Grass. 
Sudan Grass is a sorghum, and an an¬ 
nual, without underground root sprouts. It 
grows 4 to 5 feet high in drilled seedings, 
and 5 to 8 feet in cultivated rows. Do not 
sow Sudau Grass before corn planting time. 
Like corn, it is a warm weather crop. In 
favorable seasons, the growing period is 
long, and several cuttings can be obtained 
in one season. For hay it is ready to cut 
in 60 to 75 days, when it is in full head. It 
continues its growth, and in 40 to 45 days 
it is ready for another cutting.' 
Sudan Grass is an enormous yielder, pro¬ 
ducing 3 or. 4 tons of hay at the first cut¬ 
ting. The second cutting is lighter, and the 
hay is niuch finer. Live stock of all kinds 
will eat the hay readily. 
For hay, sow at the rate of 20 to 30 lbs. 
per acre, using a grain drill, and cover 
from one to one and one-half inches deep. 
Heavy seeding makes finer quality hay.
