SUDAN GRASS 
As a summer pasture crop, Sudan 
does much toward maintaining a high 
level of milk production during July 
and August. Best seeded with grain 
drill set for 2 to 3% pecks on the 
wheat side. 200 to 300 pounds of 
0-14-7 or 2-12-6 will stimulate growth. 
Should be ready for grazing about 
five weeks after seeding, but do not 
graze until at least 14 inches tall. 
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. 
““SWEET’’ SUDAN 
Breeders have now, by crossing, 
back-crossing and _ selection, pro- 
duced “SWEET” Sudan grass. It is 
sweet, juicy, palatable to livestock. 
When planted alongside regular 
Sudan, cows ate the Sweet Sudan 
first. Has definite disease-resistance 
bred into it. Because later, it provides 
longer grazing seasons. Provides 
broader, more palatable leaves. Stools 
heavier. 
““REGULAR TYPE SUDAN’”’ 
Quick-growing 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 plant- 
ing, ready to recut in another 50 days. 
It is all leaf, no stem, growing 5 feet 
or taller, stools remarkably—stands 
up well. 
Some sow winter rye in fall, pas- 
ture 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. 
““TIFT’’ SUDAN 
Developed by crossing regular Sudan 
with Leoti sorghum. “Tift” stands up 
under heavy late fall grazing. Grows 
practically free of “leafspot’’ disease, 
which disease seriously affects the 
crop of old-type Sudan in some sea- 
sons. Vigorous grower, fine producer.

“Canada Peas’”’ for Green Feed— 
Plant early. For cattle, sheep, hogs. 
Growth is rapid, gives green feed 
when other seedings are just starting. 
Sow Canada Peas with oats. Oats sup- 
port the vines—make palatable com- 
bination. 1% bushel each per acre. 
Drill peas 3” to 342" deep. Then drill 
oats 142" to 2" deep. Pasture when 
about one foot high. Feed gradually 
at first to avoid bloating. After cut, 
a new growth will appear. 
‘‘Korean’’ Lespedeza—tThe 
South's great hay producer. Thrives 
on lands too poor for other clovers. 
Popular from Delaware and Mary- 
land south. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. to acre. 
“Sericea’’ Lespedeza — Perennial 
strain of “Lespedeza” yielding finer 
hay. Taller. Thrives on poor soils and 
in dry seasons. Not a Northern crop. 
“‘Japanese’’ Millet — Known as 
“Million-Dollar Grass.’’ Has made tre- 
mendous yields—up to 20 tons per 
acre. Tall variety. Thrives on poor 
soil. Valuable emergency hay. For 
green feeding, cut just before seed 
heads appear. Sow '% bu. per acre. 
“Golden Millet’’—In Pennsylvania 
yields good crops in from seven to 
nine weeks. Makes satisfactory leafy 
hay. Sow 3 pecks per acre (48 pounds 
per bushel). HUNGARIAN MILLET 
used by some folks in more northern 
sections. 
Crimson Clover—Not adapted to 
the North. Valuable winter cover crop 
in other areas. Grows on soil too poor 
for red clover. Fine in orchards or 
corn fields. Be sure to inoculate. Sow 
20 pounds per acre. June to late 
August. Matures following June. 
“HOG PASTURE MIXTURE” 
Quick-growing green feed — often 
ready in four weeks. Valuable as 
emergency pasturage. Plant 70 
pounds per acre, broadcast or with 
seeder, between June and August 1. 
Harrow in. 

““Rape’”’ ... for Quick Pasture— 
Inexpensive, prolific. For sheep and 
hogs. Thrives on all soils with little 
preparation. Sow 5 to 6 pounds per 
acre, through spring up to end of Au- 
gust. Alone, with other pasture seeds, 
or in corn fields. Makes second 
growth. Pasture when less than 10 
inches high. Stands hard usage. 
“Atlas Sorgo’’ — Makes strong 
stalks that don't lodge easily. Com- 
bines the desired qualities of a sweet 
forage sorghum with strong stalks... 
seeds may be used as a grain feed. 
Outproduces grain sorghum in for- 
age, except when very dry. 
Plants are about 2 inch thick and 
grow 7 to 10 feet high. Harvest when 
the seeds are in hard-dough stage 
with field ensilage cutter or corn-row 
binder. Unless dry, seed shallow. 
Plant with corn planter, using the 
smallest plates. 
““Sorghums’’—Carry a sugar con- 
tent. Are valuable for cattle feed as 
green forage or ensilage. For Amber 
and (or) Orange type, see price list. 
“Hairy (Winter) Vetch’’—Excel- 
lent green feed when cut in full 
bloom, as hay when pods are about 
half formed, or as green manure. 
Good on sandy soils, or where red 
clover fails. Usually sown in late sum- 
mer or early fall. Be sure to inoculate. 
Plant along with small amount of 
wheat or rye. 
“Spring Vetch’’—Not winter hardy, 
but often used successfully among 
spring pastures. Makes good growth 
when planted in the spring. 
““Cow Peas’’ —For pasture or hay, 
turning under or hogging down, on 
poor soil. Best in South. Dare not be 
planted early. Inoculate. For hay or 
green feed, sow 1 bushel with 3 pecks 
golden millet, cut when in bloom. 
“Cow Horn Turnip’’ -——Improves 
soil, provides forage. Tops relished 
by sheep, hogs, poultry. Sow 2 to 4 
pounds per acre.
