as well as its non-shattering 
seed qualities. Its disease

make it far superior to the

Since this circular was printed originally the following was re- 
ceived from a very good farmer in North Texas who is running some 
1500 acres. Here’s what he says: 
“| have been interested in your literature on Sweet Sudan, and 
believe you have overlooked one of the best of its many good points. 
It is excellent for hay, bundled, loose or baled. This could never be 
said for common sudan. I have 80 or 90 tons which was bundled for 
seed production just before frost. It is as good as any cane I have ever 
seen and it has so much sucrose (sugar) it apparently isn’t going to dry 
out. That is an important fact, both from the standpoint of the seed 
grower, who has a valuable crop in the straw, and from the grower who 
may have a surplus in his green pasture crop. My crop produced 30% 
more bundles per acre than certified Sumac (Redtop Cane) grown ad- 
jacent to it and | believe that much difference in the tonnage, as the 
sudan was ftaller.”’
