It can be sown in April for an early crop, and for fall crop in July, August and September, and still later further south; it is sown broadcast 6 lbs. to the acre, but is better drilled, in which case 3 lbs to the acre will suffice. In a few weeks from the time of sowing, sheep, hogs or cattle can be turned on it ; all reports agree that they gain weight faster on this than any other fodder, as it can be sown after other crops are off; the gain in fodder is secured at a nominal cost.
