CANADA PEAS For Early Green Feed 
For cattle, sheep, hogs. Growth is 
rapid, gives green feed when other seed- 
ings are just starting. Sow early, with 
oats. Oats support the vines—make a 
palatable combination. 14% bushels each 
per acre. Drill peas 3 inches to 34% inches 
deep. Then drill oats 1% inches to 2 
inches. Pasture when about 1 foot high. 
Feed gradually to avoid bloating. After 
cut, new growth appears. 
RAPE—= for Quick Pasture 
For sheep and hogs. Inexpensive, pro- 
lific. Thrives on all soils with little prepa- 
ration. Sow 5 to 6 pounds per acre, 
through spring up to end of August. Alone, 
with other pasture seeds, or in corn fields. 
Makes second growth. Pasture when less 
than 10 inches high. Stands hard usage. 
HOG PASTURE MIXTURE 
Provides 8 to 11 weeks’ use at low cost. 
Quick green feed—often ready in 4 weeks. 
Useful after other crop failures. Grows un- 
til frost; won’t winter. Producer of flesh, 
fat, wool. For cattle, cut and remove to 
prevent trampling. Gets second growth. 
Use 70 Ibs. to acre, broadcast or with 
seeder, June to August 1. Harrow in. 
“JAP”? MILLET (For Quick Hay) 
Most popular millet in Northern-Central 
areas. Has made tremendous yields—up to 
20 tons per acre. Tall variety. Thrives on 
poor soil. Valuable emergency hay. To feed 
green, cut just before seed heads appear. 
Sow % bu. per acre. (32 Ibs. per bu.) 
‘‘GOLDEN”’ MILLET 
Makes satisfactory leafy hay; in Penn- 
sylvania, yields good crops in 7 to 9 weeks. 
Sow 3 pecks per acre (48 Ibs. per bu.). 
SPRING VETCH 
Not winter hardy, but often used suc- 
cessfully among spring-sown emergency 
pastures. Makes good growth. 
WINTER VETCH 
Excellent for green feed when cut in 
full bloom, as hay when pods are about 
half formed, or as green manure. Good 
on sandy soils or where Red Clover fails. 
Sown late summer, early fall. Inoculate. 
Plant with a small amount of wheat or rye. 
COW HORN TURNIP 
Improves soil, provides forage. Some- 
times used in corn fields. Tops relished 
by sheep, hogs, poultry. Sow 2 to 4 Ibs. 
per acre. 
SUDAN GRASS 
Great Dry-Weather Pasture 
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 dairymen ... 
splendidly maintaining high-level milk 
production during July and August. Di- 
vide Sudan pasture—graze one part, let 
others recover. 
Sudan is seeded 30 to 40 lbs. 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 Su- 
dan. Sudan seed may be mixed with fer- 
tilizer. 
‘‘SWEET”’’ SUDAN 
In some cases, when planted alongside 
regular Sudan, cows ate the Sweet Sudan 
first. Because later than regular Sudan, it 
provides more vegetative growth and re- 
mains 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 Su- 
dan after frosted! 
‘‘PIPER’’ SUDAN 
Vigorous, early type. Heavier yielder. 
Dark green color. Strongly resists many 
common leaf diseases. Lower in hydro- 
cyanic (prussic-acid). For safety, don’t 
take chances on late feeding of any Sudan.
