Sudan Grass Sudan Grass is an annual and dies each year like Millet, so there is no danger of spreading over your land like Johnson Grass will do. It grows tall, reaching a height of about seven feet; the stems are very small and rarely thicker than a lead pencil. The plants stools wonderfully and produces under fav- orable conditions as many as 100 stalks from a single root. Sudan Grass yields a good crop of first-class hay, all stock relish the hay and thrive on it, the quality of the hay is superior to millet. Yields of from two to four tons per acre are com- mon and under favorable conditions, six to eight tons per acre have been grown. Sudan Grass should not be planted until soil has become warm. It can be sown any time during the summer as a catch crop. It can be sown in rows 18 to 36 inches apart and cultivated, or can be drilled with a grain drill or sown broadcast by hand. Seeded in rows, it takes from 3 to 6 lbs. per acre, depending on the width of row; drilled or broadcast, from 12 to 15 lbs. is used.

For hay it is best to cut just after full bloom and will give it more time for a second growth, and in 40 to 50 days another cutting is ready. Ordinarily two or three cuttings may be expected when the season is long enough. Price per pkt., 5 cts., % lb. 10 cts., lb. 25 cts., 3 lbs. 70 cts., by mail.
