Sundan Grass, New Hay Sorghum.
A recent addition to to our crop
plants is sure to prove of great value
to the South. Sudan grass was brought
to the United States from Egypt in
1909, and no other importation ever
sprung into favor SO quickly. 1t is
now recognized as the coming hay
grass of Texas, and when better known
in the Southeastern states, it will be
almost as popular there. In the i'm
mediate Gulf coast region, however,
it, like other sorghums, is affected by
the red-spot disease, which farmers
usually call rust. At the present time
the price of Sudan grass seed prohib
it's it from being generally used as
hay grass, but as soon as the guam
tity of available seed is greater, it
should become a recognized part of
every farmers crop in the northern
two-thirds of Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama and Georgia and in virtually
all of the states of South Carolina,
North Carolina and Tennessee, as we'll
as Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
1t should be sown broadcast or
drilled when the ground has become
warm in the spring, at the rate of Is
to 20 pounds per acre in the Eastern
states and 10 to Is pounds per acre
in the more western ones. 1t can be
cut with a mower and cured like other
hay crops. 1t should be cut about the
time OF full bloom. TWO or three cut
tings can be secured, and yields of 9
to tons per acre may be expected.
The hay is very palatable and at least
as high in feeding value as that of
johnson grass. 1t is an annual and
never becomes weed in fields where
it has been grown.

same tools may be used. Planting in
a furrow is advised for western Texas
and Oklahoma, and fiat or ridge plant
ing for all the region east of this,
where the rainfall is more abundant.
Planting on ridges should be practiced
only where surface drainage is requir-
ed. When planted in rows Sc to A
inches apart to pounds of seed TO
an acre are sufficient. Thus planted,
thorough cultivation, such as that CIV
en- to corn, is essential. Broadcast or
drilled seeding is sometimes practiced,
but the yield is never is large as in cul-
tivated rows, and such fields do not
stand drought so well. Broadcast or
drilled, / to l 1-2 bushels of seed will
be required east of the Mississippi
River, in Arkansas, eastern Texas, and
Oklahoma, while 2 to pecks in the
drier regions west of this will be found
best. The preparation of the land and
the method of seeding in this case are
the same as for oats or any other
small-grain crop.

not be pastured, however during the
growing period, as there is sometimes
formed in the young sorghum plant a
poison which is fatal to stock. This
poison is more likely to occur after a
period of drouth. The second growth
is usually considered more dangerous
than the first, and if stock are allowed
: to pasture on SUCH sorghum they
should be watched carefully.
Sorghums in Mixture With Legumes.
Cowpeas or soy beans mixed with
sorghums in broadcast or drilled Seed
ings improve the quality of the hay and
are valuable, especially on dairy
farms, For such paintings the seed
should be mixed in the proportion of
three parts of cowpeas or soy beans to
one part of sorghum seed. From so
to 80 pounds of such a seed mixture
are required to an acre.
Cowpeas may be seeded with the
sorghums in row paintings, as they are
in corn. 1t is difficult to get a good
growth of cowpeas, however, the
leafy nature of the sorghums making
the shade too dense. Row mixtures are
also more difficult to harvest, so that it
is usually advisable to mix these crops
only in broadcast seedlings.
Sorghum for Silage.
For the man who has live stock, and
especially for the dairy farmer, silo
is very essential, and no crop can be
grown in the cotton belt which will
produce more good silage per acre
than the sorghums. The various South
ern States report yields of 16 to 20 tons
Of sorghum silage per acre.. the yields
averaging to 4 tons per acre above
those of corn. In Florida and that por-
ton of the other state bordering di-
rectly on the Gulf Japanese cane US
ually makes better yields of silage
than the sorghums, but north of this
region the sorghums are more depend
able.
The Kansas Agricultural Experiment
Station in feeding tests has found the
silage Of sweet sorghums but little in
ferior, pound for pound, to corn silage
for dairy cattle, and equal or superior
to it for beef cattle Combined with
cottonseed meal, always abundant in
the South, it makes an almost ideal ra-
ton for such animals. When using
sorghums for silage, they must be al
lowed to become fully mature before
they are harvested. If cut when the
seed is hard, there will be no trouble
from spelling or from excessive acid
ity. When using silage it is always
we'll to feed some dry roughage in
connection with it. From 20 to 80
pounds of silage per day are consider
ed a full feed, but this should always

When and How to Plant.

Sorghums may be planted as soon as
the ground becomes warm in the
spring, usually from one to two weeks
later than Indian corn. When the
season is favorable the planting may
be done from this time until as late as
will permit the crop to mature before
frost The method of planting in rows
is the same as that for corn and the

Forage-Crop Investigations

Forage-Crop Inyestigations.)
EDITORS NOTE-This is the sixth
of a special series Of article prepared
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture in its campaign to pro-
mote diversified agriculture through
out Dixie.
Introduction.
Sorghum is a well-known crop in the
South, but deserves to be grown much
more extensively than it is a. present.
The forage sorghums are not recon-
mended as money crops. They should
be utilized mainly as fodder on the
farm where they are produced, or
should be fed at points within hauling
distance. For the production of beef
cattle and dairy products in the South,
every farmer should grow the sweet
sorghums. AS fodder they are prac-
tically equal in value to corn and gen
orally better yields are obtained.
Soil Requirements of Sorghum.
No crop responds better to a good
soil than sorghum, yet there are few
which Will succeed on so many different
types. A rich, loose, well-drained clay
loan soil is best. Good crops may be
expected on sandy lean and on heavy
clays when the latter are well drained.
The sorghums will not give profitable
returns, however, on cIays which are
water-logged or on extremely sandy
soils. Where the soil is poor or I'M
productive, an application of fertilizer
strong in nitrate should be made ut
planting time. Liberal applications Of
barnyard manure will always greatly
increase the yield.
What Varieties to Grow.
Sweet sorghums are best for forage
in the South, and of these the Sumac,
Orange, Amber, GoOseneck, and Honey
varieties are best. The Sumac (com-
monty known as "Reitop'D, the Goose
neck Tin many places wrongly desig-
mated Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane')
and the Honey are long-seasoned var
ieties which make heavy yields, while
the Amber and Orange are earlier
kinds. Two cuttings can often be OBJ
tanned from the early varieties. Grain
sorghums, like milo, kafir, shallu, dur
ra, and feterita, have not been gener-
ally successful on account of the at
tacks Of an insect--the sorghum nudge
which prevents the development of
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-01-16
Time to Harvest.

Sorghum should not be cut for fod
der or silage while immature. Much
of the dissatisfaction with sorghum has
arisen from poor judgment as to the
time for cutting. If the seed is allowed
to reach the hard-dough stage before
cutting either for fodder or hay the
roughage will be- found much less
"washy" or loosening in it's effect on
both horses and cattle. In localities
where the seed is destroyed by the
sorghum nudge it is best TO let the
crop stand for two weeks after the
blossoming period. When grown in
cultivated rows it can be cut with a
corn knife and placed in large shocks
to cure. The row binder, shuch as is
used on corn in the North and West, IS
more efficient for harvesting. Broad
cast or close-drilled fields can be cut
with a mower and cured like ordinary
Johnson grass or timothy hay.
How to Feed Sorghum.
For mich COWS and work horses 10
to Is pounds per day of the fodder or
hay will be found sufficient if sup
plemented by the ordinary amount of
grain. Beef cattle should be fed all
they will eat clean. Cottonseed meal
or some other concentrate high in pro-
TEN and fat should always be fed in
connection with the sorghum roughage.
Stock cattle and horses can be carried
through the winter without grain if
they are fed a liberal quantity OF
sorghum fodder.
Pasturing Sorghum.
Sorghum can be pastured after It
has become fully mature; that is, after
the seed has become hard. 1t should
