Sweet Sudan Grass 
Best Summer Pasture and Hay Crop 
Deep roots. Hxtremely heat and drought resistant. Was a 
life saver last summer when the drought scorched most 
permanent pasture and hay crops. Bred by crossing sorghum 
on sudan. Livestock relish its sweetness, eat it faster, con- 
sume more, increasing milk and meat production. They eat 
it to the ground before touching other crops. It stools 
heavier, has broader leaves, larger stems, grows faster and 
taller than common sudan. It has greater yield, palatability 
and food value. Palatability and grazing last longer. Start 
grazing when 18 inches tall and sugar starts forming. 
Hay is grassy, cures quickly. It’s slender leafy stems are 
easy to handle with ordinary haying machinery. Cut when 
heads first appear. Mature stalks cut and dried still remain 
palatable. Also good for ensilage, cover crop and erosion 
control. Sow 7 Ibs. acre in cultivated rows, 14 to 34 inches 
deep, on any well drained soil, or broadcast 25 Ibs. with grain 
drill set to sow % bu. wheat. Fertilizer pays, especially 
nitrogen. 
Farmers say: “Sweet sudan recovers quickly from grazing. 
Cows eat it into the dirt before touching alfalfa, clovers or 
other grasses. Milkflow increases immediately when cows 
move from alfalfa to sweet sudan.” 
“Livestock prefer sweet sudan to other crops. You can’t 
keep them away from it if they have a choice.” 
SUDAN GRASS, regular strain, Extra Fancy 
Free of Johnson Grass. It is the quickest summer pasture 
or hay crop, ready to cut in 45 days. It has deep roots, re- 
sists drought and heat, and grows vigorously in July, August 
and September, when most grasses parch. Grows well on 
any soil, heavy clay to light sand. 
Every pasture program needs a supplemental field of Sweet 
Sudan to give a summer rest to permanent pastures. 
WACONIA SORGHUM . . 
SIMILAR TO SUGAR DRIP SORGHUM, FOR SYRUP 
Best for Forage or Molasses. Large juicy succulent growth, 
Yields 65 to 85% of its weight in juice. Makes highest qual- 
ity syrup with less granulation to sugar. Besides enormous 
syrup yield it produces a grain or forage crop equal to corn, 
more palatable, relished by livestock. Valuable seed crop. 
Plant in 3!4 to 4-foot cultivated rows, 8 to 10 lbs. per 
acre for forage. Cut or pasture after flowering. For syrup 
sow 6 to 8 Ibs., thin 4 to 6 inches, cut just before heads ripen. 
Soil, fertilizer and cultivation requirements same as corn. 
HEGARI—Tall Growing 
One of the most valuable cf all grain sorghums. Makes a 
large, leafy growth and is a heavy grain yielder. It has a 
semi-sweet stalk that is eaten readily by animals either in 
pasturing off the fields after removal of grain heads or as 
harvested forage. Average yields of 12 tons silage or 1,800 
lbs. of grain per acre are usual. Some yields have run as 
high as 4,000 pounds on irrigated land, and of course a 
larger growth of silage. It is considered that Hegari silage 
is about 15% more valuable than corn silage. For combine 
grain crop, use Certified Early Combine Hegari. 
Drill 5 lbs. per acre in 12-inch rows and cultivate same 
as corn. Matures in 110 to 120 days. 
Wood’s Quail Planting Mixture 
Food patches attract and multiply game birds 
Contains Bicolor and Scarified Sericea Lespedezas 
— ceceres 3 
This wildlife border is a living symbol of better land use. 
In the days of the.pioneer, quail thrived due to the exten- 
sive method of cultivation. However, with the rapid transi- 
tion to modern machine farming and increased livestock pro- 
duction, the quail has often found it difficult to maintain 
his numbers. Clean farming has caused a sharp decline in 
the bobwhite population and unless more is done to benefit 
him there will be a further decline in this valuable ally. 
Game birds are an asset on any farm and it costs very 
little to provide for their needs. Wood’s Quail Planting 
Mixture will furnish both seed and greens the year ’round 
for both birds and doves, insuring you many hours of hunt- 
ing pleasure during the fall and winter months. 
The Virginia Game Commission recommends it: ‘Ample 
food is necessary throughout the year. Scarcity of food and 
cover in winter definitely limits the number of quail that 
survive. Cover is any vegetation giving protection from ene- 
mies, the elements, and a refuge for roosting and nesting. 
Quail eat a variety of seeds, almost all legumes, preferably 
lespedezas, cowpeas and small soybeans. The 15 to 30 feet 
of field next to woods produces a small, stunted crop, grown 
at a loss as the return seldom equals the cost of plowing, 
seed, fertilizer and cultivation. The only practical use is to 
sow field borders in wildlife food and cover which controls 
erosion, retards tree growth, and furnishes turnrows. 
Following the advice of the Game Commission, we have 
incorporated in our Planting Mixture 18 kinds of seeds most 
frequently found in quail crops. These include both bicolor 
and sericea lespedezas, cowpeas, millet, milo, small seeded 
soybeans, bene, sudan grass, sesbania, buckwheat and rape. 
These seeds mature at different times, providing a constant 
food supply. It furnishes low cover to protect birds from 
their enemies, predators and the elements. Our formula is 
based on years of testing on our own and on some of the 
largest hunting preserves in the South. 
How to Plant. Broadcast 25 lbs. per acre May to July on 
prepared land. 400 lbs. of fertilizer per acre is desirable. It 
pays to disk, harrow and sow each year. For Quail, sow in 
long strips near cover, fences, ditches or hedgerows, in old 
tobacco beds, or in openings or fire lanes in woods. For a 
15 ft. by 400 ft. strip, use 5 pounds. For Wild Turkeys or 
Pheasants, sow in wider strips in secluded spots. For Doves, 
sow one or two acres in the center of open areas. 
BICOLOR LESPEDEZA No. 101, Perennial 
Ideal Quail Food. Should be included in every wildlife pro- 
gram as its stiff stems stand up during winter storms, shed- 
ding seed on top of snow, furnishing food to quail when they 
might otherwise perish. The bark and leaves are excellent 
food for rabbits, the blooms attract honeybees. Grows well 
on all but wet or very acid soils. Use as field borders or 
hedgerows. 1 lb. plants strip 15 by 400 ft. Broadcast or 
plant in 2 ft. rows on prepared land. 500 Ibs. complete 
fertilizer desirable. Sow as far north as southern Pennsyl- 
vania after ground warms. April to July. 
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT 
A good summer grain crop for feed or flour, poor land or 
soil improving crop to smother weeds, or for bees. No grain 
crop can be grown easier or in less time, maturing in 2 
months. Its flour makes delicious cakes. June through 
August, sow 50 lbs. per acre.
