SUDAN GRASS

A great many people are asking
about Sudan grass and whether it
would be a profitable crop here in
the Valley.
Sudan grass is one of the sorg-
huns and requires warm nights for
it's best development. A little was
tried in the Valley last year and did
not give much promise of being any
thing desirable for us.
A few pounds of seed will be dis
tributed in the Valley this year and
the grass will be given another trial
From what is known at present it
would not be advisable to try it in
more than an experimental way here
in the Valley. When buying the
seed, even in a small quantity, it
is not necessary to pay the exorbi-
tant prices that some are asking.
