SUDAN GRASS 
SUD AN GR AS This popular hay and pasture 
crop is a native of tropical 
Africa and therefore it is necessary for the soil to warm up 
in the Spring before planting the seed. It may be sown as 
late as July or August but its season will then be quite short. 
It is usually big enough to pasture when five or six weeks 
_old, or sooner if it gets 12 to 14 inches tall. It grows remark- 
ably well during the hot dry weather of July and August. 
As a hay crop Sudan should be cut from the time the heads 
begin to appear until the seeds are in the soft, dough stage. 
The best hay is from the early cutting. 
FODDER CORN Fodder corn produces more 
tons of feed per acre than any 
other grain or grass—15 to 25 tons being the range. Fodder 
corn may be divided into five classes: Large Southern Vari- 
eties; Medium Dent Varieties; Early Dent Varieties; Flint 
Varieties; Sweet Varieties. Sow broadcast 2 or 3 bu. per acre 
for supplemental pasture. May be sown up to July Ist. 
Northrup, King & Co.’s stocks include “Elephant,” “Yel- 
low,” “Giant,” and Sweet. 
M ILLET The millets, because of their early maturity, 
are very commonly used as catch crops when 
other forage or hay crops may have failed, or they may be 
used to follow such crops as early potatoes and barley. Make 
sweet tender hay when cut at the right stage and the seed 
makes excellent feed for poultry and stock. Several of the 
millets are quite drought resistant, which is always an advan- 
tage in late planted crops. Look on page 4 for description 
of varieties,
