Sudan Grass 
Sudan is an annual and requires replanting each 
year, and dies with the first frost in the fall; is 
closely related to Sorghunmts (Milo, Maize, Kafir Corn, 
etc.), but yields far more abundantly than any of 
these and the hay has more fattening properties. 
There is no other forage crop known that will resist 
drought like Sudan and it is therefore particularly 
adapted to semnfi-arid regions, yet it yields immense 
crops under irrigation and rainy climates. It may be 
broadcast or drilled in rows and cultivated. Some 
broadcast 25 to 30 pounds of seed per acre or in 
rows 10 to 12 pounds. Cut for hay when fully headed. 
Under favorable conditions two cuttings of hay mfay 
be obtained. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.75) (10 Ibs. $3.00). 
Sweet Sudan 
A greatly improved Sudan Grass from a hybridiza- 
tion of Leota Red Sorghum or Common Sudan. 
has great palatability, livestock eating it to the 
ground before touching common Sudan or other for- 
age sorghums. Sweet Sudan has broader leaves, 
larger stems and makes taller growth, stooling heav- 
ier than common Sudan. It is a truly great improve- 
ment over common Sudan and in our opinion will 
completely replace common Sudan. We recommend 
that every farmer put in at least a few rows to prove 
to himself the many advantages for both hay and 
grazing over common Sudan. 
Postpaid (1 Ib. 45c) (10 Ibs. $4.00). 
Field or Stock Peas 
Field Peas are an important class of Legumes and 
should be more generally planted. Valuable for hay 
crop or fertilizer. Field Peas are usually grown with 
Oats, for hay, a combination equal in feeding value 
to clover hay. They contain nfore digestible crude 
protein and fat than Alfalfa and Corn. When grown 
with oats, they are threshed together, and easily 
separated with a fanning after threshing. Drill the 
Peas in four inches deep, as early as the ground can 
be worked at’ the rate of 90 to 100 pounds per acre. 
Then, 2 or 3 weeks later, sow the oats, drilling it 
in the other way, 50 pounds per acre. If the oats 
are sown with the peas, they grow too rapidly and 
check or smother the growth of the peas. 
COLORADO STOCK PEAS (White)—Are ex- 
tensively grown in the mountain districts, are 
very hardy and if mixed with oats or other 
grains, make very nutritious hay. If permitted 
to mature, make excellent feed for fattening 
sheep or hogs. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.00) (10 Ibs. $1.75). 
SOULHERN BLACK-EYE PEAS—tThe dry peas 
are excellent for table, and find ready sale 
during the winter. They are very hardy and 
prolific, Vines make excellent forage or hay. 
This pea has proven a great success in the dry 
land or non-irrigated districts of the west. Its 
roots seem to penetrate deeper and stand 
drought and heat better. Especially adapted to 
hot, dry nonirrigated districts. 
Postpaid (1 Ib. 55c) (5 Ibs. $2.50). 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
An excellent forage crop for Sheep and Hogs, be- 
longs to the cabbage family. It produces a mass of 
broad, smooth leaves which are greatly relished 
by Sheep and Hogs. It can be pastured off and 
when stock is removed, if not eaten too close, it 
will grow up again and give a second crop. It does 
best on rather moist land, but will do well in any 
good soil, The seed is usually sown broadcast, using 
about 5 pounds per acre. Sow from the first to the 
middle of August. If sown broadcast on corn ground 
after the last cultivation it makes good pasture 
after the corn is renfoved. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.50) (10 Ibs. $2.75). 

Sunflower 
Quite extensively grown for feeding. Sow in rows 
3 to 3% feet apart and thin to a foot apart in the 
rows. Treat the same as corn. Use 10 to 12 pounds 
of seed per acre. Sunflower are often used to mix 
with corn when filling a silo. It is claimed that 
the mixture makes a better ensilage than pure corn. 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN—The variety commonly 
used to produce seed and for fillng silos, The 
heads are often one foot across and are filled 
with striped seed which makes most excellent 
feed for poultry.

Buckwheat 
Buckwheat is easily raised and will make profitable crops 
on rather poor land, where other grain would fail. It is also 
largely used as a cover crop in orchards. Sow in June or 
July, using 50 pounds of seed to the acre. 
JAPANESE—tThis is the largest buckwheat. The 
plant makes a more vigorous and larger growth 
than the common kind and yields more. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs, $1.25) (10 Ibs. $2.25). 
Flax 
WILT-RESISTANT—Flax is the best and most 
profitable crop for sod or new lands, growers 
frequently realizing more from flax on sod than 
from wheat on old ground. Sow early, as soon 
as possible after danger from frost has passed. 
To raise seed sow one-half bushel per acre; for 
fibre, one bushel. 
Postpaid (5 lbs. $1.75) (10 Ibs. $3.00).

A new dust disinfectant for seed 
oats, barley, wheat, and other cereals 
made by the manufacturers of Seme-

oats, Stinking-smut of Wheat, etc. One 
pound treats 32 bushels of seed.
