The great summer pasture to keep up milk flow. 
Has often paid big dividends! A Sudan acreage 
coming along just when regular pastures are least 
productive has been a life saver to many dairy- 
men .. . splendidly maintaining high-level milk 
production during July and August. Divide Sudan 
pasture—one part, let others recover. 
Sudan is seeded 30 to 40 Ibs. per acre with 
grain drill set for 2 to 3% pecks on the wheat 
side. 200 to 300 Ibs. 0-14-7 or 2-12-6 will help. 
Graze when 14 inches tall—usually in 5 weeks. 
Some mix Sudan and soybeans for green feed: 
1 bushel soys, 12 to 15 pounds Sudan. Sudan seed 
may be mixed with fertilizer. 
‘*SWEET’’ SUDAN 
In some cases, when planted alongside regular 
Sudan, cows ate the Sweet Sudan first. Because 
later than regular Sudan, it provides more vege- 
tative growth and remains green and growing 
longer. Has broader, attractive leaves. Grows 
heavier, tall stalks. Popular with many folks. 
SUDAN ‘‘Regular Type’’ 
Useful for quick hay. Sometimes used for silage. 
Often ready to cut in 50 to 70 days—ready to 
recut in another 50 days. Hay almost Timothy 
value. Leafy; 5 feet tall, heavy stooler; stands 
well. Sow after corn planting. Very dangerous to 
feed Sudan after frosted! 
‘‘PIPER’’ SUDAN 
Vigorous, early type. Heavier yielder. Dark green 
color. Strongly resists many common leaf diseases. 
Lower in hydrocyanic (prussic-acid). For safety, 
don't take chances on late feeding of any Sudan. 
Great soil builder. Turned under, adds organic 
matter. Improves water-holding capacity of soil. 
Provides emergency pasture till other areas are 
ready. To cover bare spots—or thicken stands on 
thin pastures, use 5-10 Ibs. with 15 lbs. Rye Grass. 
SWEET CLOVER 
‘‘YELLOW BLOSSOM” Type 
Aggressive, hardy. Has gained in Eastern use. A 
perennial, with a smaller top growth than the 
white blossom strains. Grows 2 to 3 feet first year, 
higher the second. Finer stems; many prefer it. 
Mostly ‘‘WHITE BLOSSOM” Type 
Lasts 2 years. Planted in the spring, will make 
good growth by fall. Will reseed itself if left 
standing. Sown in late summer, makes not-too- 
large spring plants, providng fair type hay. 
“HUBAM”’ (Annual Strain) 
Lives but 1 year. Resembles biennial, produces 
less growth. For a catch crop to fall-plow, Hubam 
is useful. With favorable moisture, supplies good 
spring pasture.
