Your Acres Will Surprise You When Growing These Crops 25 

: “ANEW 
SENSATIONAL CROP 
This sweet, juicy, nutritious grass was devel- {ey e) LBS.. 
oped recently through crossing, back-crossing 
and selection. In 1944 was the first year enough 
seed was available 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 anywhere. 
Livestock Prefer Sweet Sudan to Alfalfa 
This may sound like sales talk, but anyone who has grown this won- 
derful crop will verify this statement. Here is what a large 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 cattle or sheep preferring Sweet Sudan Grass in prefer- 
ence to Common Sudan, has certainly been borne out by our experience. 
You just can’t keep them away from it.” Another farmer said from 
his experience Sweet Sudan is worth three or four times as much as 
other Sudan or forage crops. 



More Livestock on Less Acres 
Sweet Sudan has more and broader leaves; heavier and taller stalks. 
It stools much heavier than the Common Sudan. Is a little later and coarser than the Common; thereby, 
producing more growth and remaining green and growing longer than Common Sudan. This means 
more grazing. As it is more juicy, sweet and palatable, livestock will eat it faster and consume more of 
it in a shorter period. This increases both milk and meat production. 
A Great Hay and Pasture 
You can pasture a larger number of cows on smaller acreage in order to hold it down. It stands lots 
of dry weather. Grows when other grasses are dormant. It makes excellent hay, bundled loose or 
bailed. Sow Sweet Sudan 15 to 20 lbs. per acre.

THE MIRACLE CROP 
50 Ibs. $4.85 100 Ibs. $9.50 
Tt puts all other forage crops in the shade. Sudan will not back up for any 
crop grown for a summer feed. 
When your pastures are getting short and your feed supply is getting low 
, along towards the latter part of July and August, Sudan grass can be depended 
upon to pull you through. Most any kind of stock will eat it, but it is especially relished by horses 
and cattle. , ’ 
Quick Summer Profit 
Tt 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 six or seven weeks. A nice big crop of green hay would 
come in mighty handy about this time. It is good practice to cut as soon as the heads begin to appear. 
The second crop comes along much faster than the first and under ordinary conditions is ready for the 
second cutting in about 30 to 40 days. 
Equals Alfalfa as a Milk Producer 
j ically all of the thousands of farmers in a radius of 150 miles of Chicago, who supply the milk 
eee G ain one-half million people in the great city of Chicago, grow Sudan for their dairy herd. It 
will increase the flow of milk 25 per cent to 50 percent. This should convince you that this ,wonderful 
emergency crop should be grown by you this year. It will increase your income, Sow 20 to 25 Ibs: per 
acre. Only half crop seed in 1948. Seed scarce, Order now. ‘
