which is a heavy yielding sweet, juicy sorghum. This crop had high resistance against costs no more 
disease and also shattering of seed. Sudan was finer stemmed and stools more freely. 
It makes wonderful hay but is not sweet. In making the cross the best of these two per acre 
crops was put into one. It grows very much like ordinary Sudan. It stools even more than ordinary 
freely and grows taller. The leaves are a little broader. It is a sensational yielder, seeds 
and in reports that we have it has outyielded the Regular or Common Sudan by 30%.

stemmed and a free stooler. It grows from 4 to 7 feet high. 
It will yield 4 to 7 tons of cured hay per acre. It has good 
feeding value. Livestock is very fond of Sudan. The first 
hay crop can be cut about 60 days after seeding. Second 
and third crop 80 to 40 days apart. You can sow it around 
corn planting time or just a little after, which will indicate 
how quickly you could get a valuable feed crop. Sudan is 
one of the best drouth resisting grasses known. It stands a 
lot of heat. It supplies an abundance of fine pasture or hay during the 
dry months of summer when feed is often scarce. Since it yields so 
heavily you do not have to devote many acres to get a lot of feed from How to

have some of either the regular or Sweet Sudan. Handle Sudan Grass
