SUDAN GRASS 
Sudan is strictly an annual and must be 
planted over each spring. It is the quickest 
growing and best summer pasture yet devel- 
oped—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 experi- 
ments have shown Sudan hay to be an excel. 
lent 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 15 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 al- 
most every class of soil from a heavy clay to 
a light sand. The Tennessee Experiment Sta- 
tion says Sudan is outstanding in its resistance 
to dry weather. You can get three to four cut- 
tings of hay in a good season. Before turning 
stock into a new crop of Sudan it is well to 
Tun the mower over it—this will start it to 
stooling and prevent the whole young piant 
from. being pulled up. You can sow 25 pounds 
per acre broadcast with good results, but on 
rich land planters tell us its foolish to sow less 
than 40 pounds, even 50 per acre, when an 
amazing growth results, of very fine stemmed 
peecalen plants, much more palatable to the 
stock. 

WINTER RYE GRASS 
For Pasture. Sow in September and October, 
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 possible 
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. For lawns see (Wintergreen) 
page 20.

SUDAN GRASS 
BERMUDA GRASS 
The most important pasture grass for the 
South, says the U. S. Department of Agricul- 
ture. It is unexcelled 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 possi- 
ble from early spring to mid-fall, Because of 
its dense sod and creeping habit of growth, 
Bermuda is decidedly the best grass to prevent 
soil erosion. Do not plant until the cold is defi- 
nitely past, and the ground is thoroughly 
warm; roughly, from May lst through June 
and July. Hulled Bermuda germinates in 10 
days with ample moisture. Unhulled seed re- 
quires 21 to 30 days. For grazing, sow 10-15 
pounds unhulled seed per acre alone, less in 
G@ pasture mixture. Hulled seed sows 50 per 
cent more space. For lawns see page 20.

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 Septem-

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.
