Sweet Sudan Grass 
BEST SUMMER PASTURE AND HAY GRASS. Fast grow- 
ing annual. Deep roots. Extremely heat and drought 
resistant. 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, consume 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 and food 
value. Palatability and grazing last longer, until kill- 
ing frost. Start grazing when 18 inches tall and sugar 
starts forming. Hay is grassy, cures quickly. Its 
slender leafy stems are easy to handle with ordinary 
haying machinery. Cut when heads first appear. Ma- 
ture stalks cut and dried still remain palatable. Also 
good for ensilage, cover crop and erosion control. 
CERTIFIED SWEET SUDAN 372, Treated 
More disease resistant. Stays green longer, leafier, 
thinner stems, more and better quality hay and pas-— 
ture. Outstanding, uniform, improved strain of sweet 
sudan, fixing the superior qualities of the original 
cross. It stools more, is grassier, taller, has finer stems, more palatable 
grazing, matures faster yet foliage remains green longer, resists foliage 
diseases and drought. The most dependable quick summer grazing crop 
for cattle, hogs, or sheep. Slurry treated, increases stands and yields 20 
to 50%, controls diseases. Arasan to treat 100 Ibs. costs $1.00. 
SUDAN GRASS, 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, resists drought and heat, and grows vigorously in July, 
August and September, when most grasses are parched. Grows well on any 
soil, heavy clay to light sand. 
SOW SUDAN GRASS 25 Ibs. per acre with grain drill set for V2 bu. 
wheat, or 7 Ibs. in cultivated rows. V2 to 34 inches deep, on any well 
drained soil, after it gets warm. Can sow up to Aug. 15. Fertilizer pays, 
especially nitrogen. Treat seed with Arasan to increase stands and yields 
20 to 50%, control smut, etc., see below. 
BROME GRASS, Lincoln Strain, Smooth, Southern Grown. 
Long lived perennial. Vigorous, drought resistant hay and pasture grass for 
any good well drained soil. Extremely high quality, nutritious, palatable 
foliage. Increasing in popularity in the Upper South. Grows 5 ft. tall. 
Roots often 5 to 6 feet deep with many underground rootstocks, excellent 
for soil improvement and conservation. Similar to orchard grass in use, 
adaptation and seeding requirements, is easier to manage in pastures with- 
out choking out Ladino, and does better with Birdsfoot trefoil. Does not 
do well under constant close grazing. Lincoln is more disease and drought 
resistant, has more seedling vigor, is easier established, has deeper roots, 
better for soil improvement, and yields 20% more than Northern Brome. 
It requires a lot of nitrogen and does best with alfalfa to supply it. In 
early spring or fall sow 8 lbs. per acre with 10 Ibs. alfalfa or 5 Ibs. trefoil. 
TIMOTHY, Most Widely Sown, Inexpensive Hay Crop. 
Easy to establish. Germinates in 5 to 10 days. Grows quickly. Stands up 
well. Easy to cut and cure. Yields 1/2 to 3 tons per acre. Heavy for its 
bulk. Profitable for market. Adapted to Upper South. Prefers clay or loam 
soils. Sow in early spring or fall. For hay on well drained soil 8 Ibs. tim- 
othy and 8 lbs. mammoth clover per acre; on damp land 6 lbs. timothy, 
3 Ibs. red top, 10 Ibs. meadow fescue and 4 lbs. alsike clover. They all 
mature together for hay. Cut when in bloom. On poor or acid soil sow 
7 |bs. timothy, 3 lbs. red top and 15 lbs. lespedeza. Fertilizer pays. 
MEADOW FESCUE, long lived perennial, hardy, deep roots. 
Put in every hay or pasture mixture. More persistent than timothy. Stands 
close grazing. Makes thick foliage. Comes on early in the spring, grow- 
ing till late fall. Does well on wet soil. Sow on any soil in early spring 
or fall, 8 Ibs. with 8 lbs. orchard grass, 2 lbs. red top, 1 lb. Ladino, 
44 1 Ib. Dixie White, 2 lbs. red clover and 3 Ibs. alfalfa. 
Sweet Sudan recovers quickly from grazing. Cows eat it into the dirt before touching alfalfa, 
clovers or other grasses. Milk flow increases immediately when cows move from alfalfa to sweet 
sudan. Piant it for abundant lush summer grazing to give a needed rest to permanent pastures. 
KENTUCKY BLUE, good permanent lawn or pasture grass. 
For good well drained heavier soils in the Piedmont and Mountains. Makes 
the richest, nutritious pasture, spreading and growing better if grazed 
close. Grows vigorously in spring and fall, less in summer and winter. 
It is slow to establish a stand. Takes 10 to 28 days to germinate. Don’t 
sow with Ladino. It germinates in 3 to 10 days and will smother it. Sow 
in early spring or fall to get started before summer weeds. 1 Ib. sows 
200 square feet (10 x 20) of lawn. For pasture sow 8 lbs. Ky. blue, 8 Ibs. 
orchard grass, 3 lbs. red top, 1 lb. White Dutch clover, 1 lb. Dixie White 
clover, and 2 lbs. Trefoil per acre. Apply lime and 2-12-12. 
MERION BLUEGRASS—The “Wonder Lawn Grass” 
Selected from Kentucky Blue. Thrives under closer mowing, as low as Y/2 
inch. More drought resistant, grows more vigorously in late spring, tend- 
ing to crowd out crabgrass. Resists leafspot which injures Kentucky Blue 
in late spring, letting crabgrass start. Merion can be seeded successfully 
in spring while Kentucky Blue often fails. Like Kentucky Blue it needs 
fertilizer and care, is slow to come up and establish a sod, suffers from 
neglect and competition of quick growing grasses until it is established. 
Best seeded alone, 1 |b. to 500 sq. ft. in early spring or fall. 
RED TOP or Herds Grass. Put in All Permanent Mixtures. 
3 Ibs. acre for pasture, hay or lawn. Grows well with other grasses, thrives 
on all soils, on land too poor, wet or dry for Ky. Blue. Comes early. Grows 
vigorously till late fall. Perennial. Creeping habit. Stools well. Stands 
close grazing or trampling. Germinates quickly 5 to 10 days, easy to get 
a stand and keeps down weeds while Ky. Blue gets started. 
DOMESTIC and PERENNIAL RYEGRASS. Quickest growing. 
Most winter resistant cool season lawn, pasture, hay or cover crop, little 
summer growth. Comes up in 5 to 15 days. Excellent nurse crop seeding 
grass and clovers. Keeps soil from washing and protects fine seedlings. 
Sow 35 Ibs. acre. Add 20 Ibs. Crimson or Reseeding Crimson for winter 
grazing. If left to seed in June they come back each fall. Perennial rye 
persists several years. Domestic contains 4 perennial and 34 annual Italian 
rye grass. 
TREAT GRASS AND LEGUME SEEDS WITH ARASAN 
Recommended by V.P.I. and other state experiment stations. Keeps seeds 
from rotting in cold damp soils. Allows earlier planting. Protects seeds 
from damping off, seedling blight and other diseases, birds and rodents. 
Produces healthier more vigorous plants. Increases stands and yields 10 
to 50%. Alfalfa stands increased 89%. Seedlings grow off faster, get 
ahead of weeds and establish deep roots before summer droughts. Treat 
anytime, then inoculate legumes just before seeding. For 100 lbs. alfalfa, 
clover, lespedeza and grass use 8 ozs. Arasan, cost $1.00; 2 Ibs. $3.20; 10 
Ibs. $11.50; 100 Ibs. $115. Postpaid prices on page 66.
