A Very Palatable Fast Growing Crop for Pasture and Hay 
You Plant this after the seed bed is warm as described below under How 
to Handle Sudan Grass. You can get two or three cuttings of hay in a year. 
It remains palatable over a long time and you do not have to cut it at any 
eertain stage. Even if you let it stand for seed it makes good feed. It has 
a delicious flavor and because of its sweeter content, a higher feeding value. 
Notice the photograph at immediate left. The cow eats the Sweet Sudan 
down to the ground while it nibbles the tops of the Regular. Sweet Sudan 
is a little later in maturity than Regular Sudan. It maintains its high 
feeding value in pasture up until frost. It is a great heat and drouth resister. 
It gives you sweet, palatable juicy food when many grasses are becoming 
dormant because of heat. Pasture it after it gets around 10” high. 
Seed Supplies Short—Demand Heavy 
There will be a big need for Sudan Grass in areas that have been hit by drought. 
Big, heavy hay and pasture will be needed quick. We predict a tremendous demand for 
Sudan Grass seed. This will come in face of a short seed crop. Prices will probably 
advance sharply by seeding time. Order your seed early this year.
