SEED ..:. The Farm’s First Line of Defers: 
SUDAN GRASS Svan is mericuy 
an annual an 
must be planted over each spring. It is 
the quickest growing and best summer 
pasture yet developed—good right up until 
frost. The U. S. D. A. says that as a hay 
crop, it is equal in feeding value to that 
of Timothy, Millet or Johnson grass. They 
further say that feeding experiments have 
shown Sudan hay to be an _ excellent 
roughage for work animals and stock cat- 
tle, and only: slightly less valuable than 
alfalfa hay for milk cows. 
Sudan is a warm weather crop — wait 
until April 15th in latitude of Central 
Mississippi and get first cutting of hay in 
60 to 70 days. It does not require lime. 
It grows best on a rich loam but has been 
grown successfully on almost every class 
of soil from a heavy clay to a light sand. 
The Tennessee Experiment Station says 
Sudan is outstanding in its resistance to 
dry weather. You can get three to four 
cuttings of hay in a good season. Before 
turning stock into a new crop of Sudan 
it is well to run the mower over it—this 
will start it te stooling and prevent the 
whole young plant from being pulled up. 
You can sow 25 pounds per acre broad- 
cast with good results, but on rich land 
planters tell us it’s foolish to sow less 
than 40 pounds, even 50 per acre, when 
an amazing growth results, of very fine 
stemmed succulent plants, much more 
palatable to the stock.

BERMUDA GRASS 72ers 
pasture grass for the South, says the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture. It is unex- 
celled among the permanent grasses for 
pasture during the hot dry weather, says 
the Tennessee Experiment Station. Grows 
on most all types of soil but will not grow 
in dense shade. Bermuda and Lespedeza 
grow fine together, and if White Clover 
or Crimson Clover is added, an excellent 
pasture is possible from early spring to 
mid-fall. Because of its dense sod and 
creeping habit of growth, Bermuda is de- 
cidedly the best grass to prevent soil ero- 
sion. Do not plant until the cold is defi- 
nitely past, and the ground is thoroughly 
warm; roughly, from May ist through 
June and July. Hulled Bermuda germi- 
nates in 10 days with ample moisture. 
Unhulled seed requires 21 to 30 days. For 
grazing, sow 10-15 pounds unhulled seed 
per acre alone, less in a pasture mixture. 
Hulled seed sows 50 per cent more space. 
Cyclone Seed Sower 
For more than 60 years it has 




WINTER RYE GRASS ; 
For Pasture. Sow in September and Oc- 
tober, the earlier the better. Don’t sow 
on wheat or other small grain, but by 
itself, or perhaps with other grasses, or 
with clover, on well-prepared land. Sow it 
on fertile soil only for best results. Good 
stands are easily obtained and the fall 
growth is rapid, affording pasture from 
late fall to late spring—dies down in hot 
summer. The foliage is very tender, and 
all livestock find it palatable. Makes a 
good hay, ready to cut a month earlier 
than Timothy. 

For dairy cows, Rye grass makes pos- 
sible April and May milk production in 
February and March. Even the earliest 
clovers do not come on until the grazing 
period of Rye grass is well advanced. Rye 
grass stools heavily and 20 to 30 pounds 
per acre is ample for pasture purposes. 
SUDAN GRASS 
Pasture Grass Mixture 
Russell- 
Heckle’s 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE NO. 1. For uplands and well drained 
loamy soils, for either pasture or hay. Contains various grasses and clovers 
in proper proportions for such soils, based on our observation and experience. 
We vary the mixture to fit the season. Sow 20 to 25 pounds per acre in late 
February, March, April or September-October. 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE NO. 2. For lowlands. Experience has 
taught that some grasses and clovers thrive best in rather low, moist soils. 
Our No. 2 Mixture is prepared accordingly, good for grazing and hay. If stock 
does not keep down to 6 inches or so, run the mower over it. Sow 18 to 21 
pounds per acre, in late February, March, April or September-October. 
PERMANENT HOG MIXTURE. Especially prepared for pasturing hogs. Com- 
posed of Red Clover, Red Top Grass, Orchard Grass, Alsike Clover, Rape, etc. 
Sow in February, March and April, also fall, at rate of 20 pounds per acre. 
TIMOTHY AND ALSIKE MIXED. Suitable mixture for wet lands, furnishing 
good pasture and hay. Sow in early spring and fall, 15 pounds of the mixed 
seed per acre. 
CHICKEN PASTURE MIXTURE. A splendid mixture of grains, clover and 
grasses for green feed for chicken runs. Sow in February, March and Septem- 
ber, 30 pounds to the acre.
