SUDAN GRASS IS
AN IDEAL FORAGE
Farmers Urged to Put
in Supply of Seed as
Price Is Low

One Of tho most nutritious stock
feeds that has been introduced into
the United States in recent years is
Sudan grass, n native Of Africa. Su-
dan grass makes an abundance OF
nourishing food and attains a
height OF from to . feet.
Until this spring Sunday seed
has never been less than 10 cents a
pound. but a large acreage in 1920
with an unusually big yield has
caused the present quotations. to
range from to cents and some
seed IS offered at around 81 a 100
pounds.
John s. Malone, county farm
agent OF Tulsa county. believes that
the 1921 low price will cause many
growers OF Sudan seed TO cut the
annual out this year so that the
price will be high again in 1922
and on that account he advises
farmers who can to buy and store
away in a dry place quantities OF
Sudan seed.
Sudan seed may be planted at the
same time as corn--in MarCh--and
It withstands cold weather well. In
addition Il is much better for stock
than millet and kafir and other
sorghums, for the sorghums poison
cattle at certain periods OF its
growth, while sudan never does.
When the flies are bad in the sum
mer the cattle may be turned into
the Sudan and the tail stalks keeps
the stock free from the flies.
