Sorghum. 1t is somewhat late
for sorghum, but where there has
been sufficient rainfall a very
good crop of forage may be OBJ
tanned when planted about the
10th. or 18th. of August.
Rye. Rye should be used
more extensively by Louisiana
dalrymen as a winter grazing
crop. 1t should be plauted in Sept

October.
Oats. Oats is probably the
bestgrazlng crop for Louisiana as
the seed can be readily obtained
The ground should be we'll prepar-
and planted the last Of September
or early in October.
Wheat. Wheat is Of about the
same value as oats or rye for graz
ing purposes, and a limited acre.

second for crop of grain fo1
