(Above) Hoffman “Tift” Sudan. 
Note the tall heavy growth, many 
wide leaves, how they shine! Free 
from disease, vigorous. A fine new 
variety . . . recommended. 
(Below) Three ordinary sudan 
leaves affected with “leafspot’ dis- 
ease, and one unharmed “Tift” leaf. 

Sudan—Good Emergency 
Pasture 
Productive and palatable. Sown 
late May, on good fertile seed bed, 
will carry three cows an acre from 
ne Uy until grass is killed by 
rost. 

““TIFT’’ SUDAN—Developed in Georgia (by 
crossing regular Sudan with Leoti sorghum). 
“Tift stands up under heavy late fall grazing. 
Will gain much wider use. Grows practically 
free of “leafspot’’ disease, which disease seri- 
ously affects the crop of old-type Sudan in 
some seasons. (Note picture left, the one un- 
affected blade of Tift below the damaged other 
leaves.) Vigorous grower, fine producer. Why 
not divide your Sudan acreage three ways? 
‘“SWEET’’ SUDAN— Like among other plants, 
breeders have now, by crossing, back-crossing 
and selection, produced ‘“SSWEET” Sudan grass. 
It is sweet, juicy, palatable to livestock. In all 
cases when planted alongside regular Sudan, 
cows ate the Sweet Sudan first. This new strain 
has definite disease-resistance bred into it. Be- 
cause later it provides longer grazing seasons. 
Provides broader, more palatable leaves. Stools 
heavier. Cost is high but surely worth trial. Ask 
for special circular. 
‘““REGULAR TYPE SUDAN’’— Quick-grow- 
ing annual, valuable for dairy herds because it 
produces green pastures quickly in a pinch. 
For straight Sudan hay (about equal in value 
to timothy)—20 to 30 pounds per acre. It grows 
quickly—is often ready to cut 50 to 70 days after 
planting, ready to recut in another 50 days. It is 
all leaf, no stem, growing 5 feet or taller, stools 
remarkably—stands up well. 
Mix Sudan and soy beans for green feed. Sow 
a bushel of soys with 12 to 15 pounds of Sudan. 
You can mix the Sudan with the fertilizer if you 
wish and save one trip over the field. 
Some sow winter rye in fall, pasture it until 
April, then sow Sudan on same ground for full- 
year pasture. Sow from corn planting to August. 
Don't feed after leaves are frosted.
