Green—A Substitute For Corn Fodder 
Green Feed on August Ist 
esirable green feed during August! Sown about the 
of May, the fodder will be ready to cut 
it August ist or a little earlier! Begin 
ut it before it blossoms and continue to 
it for about 12 days or until the stems 
oughen. By making a second seeding about 
ine 10 and*a third about June 25, abundant 
en feed may be had during all 
f August and with later seedings, 
into September! ~ 
Galzer’s Billion Dollar Grass gives a 
wy yield of green fodder, from 12 to 
tons per acre on naturally moisture- 
entive land in good condition, but

It Is Productive 
Under average conditions of moisture and fertility of the soil, 
Salzer’s. Billion Dollar Grass is one of the most 
productive of the annual hay grasses. Think of 
yields of ‘up to 20 tons of fresh green feed per acre, 
up to 6 tons of cured hay per acre, or up to 3,000 
pounds of seed per acre! Its biggest and its great- 
est value, however, is in its green fodder and in 
its silage. 2 
Feeding Green 
Salzer’s Billion Dollar Grass cut from day to 
day and fed green to cows, is much relished, 
Cows invariably increase in milk when green 
pe Dollar Grass is alternated with corn fod- 
er, 
Fed continuously and alone, Billion 
Dollar Grass acts as a laxative and a 
diuretic, and the ideal feeding is about 
10 pounds hay per day plus about 60 










. 60 bushel of seed per acre (35 Ibs. 
er bu.), although 90 bushel of seed per 
e have been reported, and it yields 
8 to 6.tons of hay per acre. 
A Quick Producer 
os - Galzer’s Billion Dollar Grass produces 
green feed, and plenty of it, in about 
; ne or ten weeks and attains the height 
of four to seven feet according to the 
ch It is the one grass 







ess of the soil. 
to sow if you want plenty of green feed 
‘= ring August and September: for your 
~ le, horses, sheep, hogs and poultry. 
Up to 90 bushel (3,150 Ibs.) of seed 
per acre! Hogs, poultry, geese and tur- 
keys relish the green feed and thrive and 
fatten if fed the seed during the fall and 
ae: r months. 
By cutting as soon as the plants come 
into bloom, a second crop may often be 
t had and ‘the yield of forage materially 
_ inereased. When grown for seed, it gives 
only the one crop and sometimes some 
pasture’ thereafter. 
- Salzer’s Billion Dollar Grass. gives 3 to 
“EG tons.hay per acre but as it is rather 
coarse and succulent it is difficult to cure 
for hay-and we do not recommend it for 
- that purpose. Since it is difficult to dry, 
the-hay may become musty and so one 
cannot depend upon a large amount of 
dry hay. However, if the weather allows 
several extra hay days to follow one an- 
other, it is successfully cured in small 
cocks as clover is often cured. 
“* Use Salzer’s Billion Dollar Grass as 
_ silage in place of corn wherever it is not 
possible or convenient to grow corn. It 
is a. wonderful “‘eatch crop’’ whenever 
_ the corn has been destroyed by hail or 
_ otherwise. 
Where It Grows 
Jt grows best on a soil that is rather 
retentive of moisture and quite rich. It 
- Juxuriates on a low, rich, moist situation 
but it also does well on higher ground. 
.. When it is sown on retentive soil, it en- 
dures drought fairly well. On the rich 
soils of the West and Northwest where 
_ there is sufficient moisture, or where 
there is irrigation, it yields heavily and 
{ has given good yields on the alkali soil

_.Salzer’s Sudan Grass is one of the most prolific hay

_ As a catch crop, it is fully equal to Millet. Sudan Grass 
is used for pasture, ensilage and soiling as well as for 
hay. It does best on a rich loam soil, but grows success-

What It Is 
Panicum Crusgalli is a Japanese Millet 
and was given the name Barnyard Millet 
in 1896 by. Prof. W. P. Brooks: of ‘the 
Hatch (Mass.) Station... In #901, we 
_, first ~ffered it to the public and gave it 
the name Billion Dollar Grass because of 
its tremendous yield of fodder and séed, 
and it is probably, more’ widely known’ to- 
day under this name than any other... It 
is not poisonous at any stage of growth 
and is distinct from Sudan Grass. 
Culture e 
Salzer’s Billion Dollar Grass’ is a tender an- 
nual and should not be sown before corn: plant- 
ing time as it does not stand frost. Sow about 
20 pounds per acre broadcast, covering about 34 
inch deep. May be sown up to July 1 and even 
up to the end of July. 
PASTURE—AII rich, luxuriant grasses should 
be pastured moderately at first. Therefore, you 
should turn in your hogs, -cattle; sheep, and 
horses the first few times only after’ they have 
had a good feed elsewhere and thus accustom 
them to it. It is on the same ‘plan as hungry 
stock turned the first time into a field of rich 
clover—they might find harm. Turn them into 
Billion Dollar Grass moderately at first and 
you can soon permanently. 
FOR HAY—Cut when the plant is in early 
bloom. Cut with a mower and allow it to cure 
in the swath for a day; then rake into windrows 
and when sufficiently cured, put it into cocks 
for about a week. 
FEEDING GREEN—Begin to cut before it 
blossoms and continue until the cattle do. not 
eat all .of the stems. 
FOR SEED—Let Salzer’s Billion Dollar Grass 
get thoroughly ripe and cut and thresh as you 
would Timothy. The seed is about equal to 
oats in composition, that is in protein and fat,
