This sweet, juicy; nutritious grass was developed 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 wonderful 
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 to Sweet Sudan.’ This is surely proof for recommendation. 
farmer in the southwest has the following to say about this new crop: | 
“About cattle or sheep preferring Sweet Sudan Grass in preference 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 a 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 baled. Sow Sweet Sudan 
15 to 20 lbs. per acre.

It puts all other forage crops in the shade. Sudan will not back up for any © 
crop grown for a summer feed. — <a i 
When your pastures are getting short and your feed supply is getting low — 
along toward 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 : 
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 ora ~ 
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. te: 
Equals Alfalfa'as a Milk Producer 
Practically all of the thousands of farmers in a radius of 150 miles of Chi- 
cago, who supply the milk for the two and one-half million people in the great — 
city of Chicago, grow Sudan for their dairy herd. It has been proven time and 
again that Sudan grass will increase the flow of, milk 25 per cent to 50 per cent. — 
This should convince you that this wonderful emergency crop should be grown | 
by you this year. It will increase your income. Only half crop seed in 1946. —
