oped by North Dakota Experiment Station. Has been grown 
extensively in that state and Minnesota the past four years. 
Is now grown in other central states. Its early maturity | 
helps it escape hot weather, which cuts yields of later varieties. This sweet, juicy, nutritious grass was developed recently through crossing, 
back-crossing and selection. In 1944 was the first year enough seed was avail- 
able to plant acreage to produce seed in commercial quantities. More seed is 
now available, but not enough to supply the rapidly increasing demand. It grows 








MIDA is a bearded wheat. Best to sow in spring, because the beards 
protect the wheat if it is an early hot summer. The grain is large, dark red 
in color. Is a fine milling wheat. In official tests Mida had an average 
yield of 33.2 bu. per acre for a four year period. Had a test weight of 60.8 
pounds.

Livestock Prefer Sweet Sudan to Alfalfa 
This may sound like sales talk, but anyone who has grown this wonderful crop=will 
verify this statement. Here is what a latfge farm and livestock owner in the southwest 
says: “The results from the eighty acres of Sweet Sudan I planted this May and June, are 
very surprising to me. My dairy cattle have invariably eaten the Sweet Sudan into the 
dirt before touching the Alfalfa or any of the grasses and clovers in the permanent 
pastures. My herdsman reports an immediate increase in milk flow when he moved cows 
from alfalfa feed to Sweet Sudan.” This is surely proof for recommendation. 
A farmer in the southwest has the following to say about this new crop: “About 
a 
cattle or sheep preferring Sweet Sudan Grass in preference to Common Sudan, has cer- 
tainly been borne out by our experience. You just can’t keep them away from it.” An- 
other farmer said from his experience Sweet Sudan is worth three or four times as much 
as other Sudan or forage crops.

Quick Summer Profit ~ 
It is mighty profitable to sow a patch of Sudan if it is too late to sow any other hay 
or grain crop. While it is best to sow about corn planting time or a week later, Sudan 
can be grown with wonderful results as late as the middle of July. When sown during 
the month of May, it will produce a crop of hay running from five to eight tons in about
