FARM DBMOUSTRATIOK WOTES. ^ "fiUDAK GRASS WORTHY OF TRIAL" I Sudan grass. whid» in apparently a j new hay grass was discovered in 1009, J and has proven to be a very promising • crop for forage. This grass is distinctly an annua! in the United States, and is related to the cultivated Sorghums. Under favorable soil conditions this l grass grows to a height of from four to nine feet, the stems being somewhat smaller than an ordinary sized lead pencO. The leaves are much broader and more numerous than those of Johnson j Grass, making it a better hay plant. j The root system, of this grass is a fi- j brous one, therefore we need not fear that it might become a troublesome weed , if extensirely grown. If given plenty j of room it is not uncommon for a single plant to stool out sending forth over ' one hundred stems and this condition naturally makes the second cutting of finer texture and of better feeding qual- | Ities. The requirements of Sudan ! Grass, like other Sorghums is a warm climate; however, it may be grown advantageously in cooler climstes, yet the number of cuttings will be fewer, aince continued cool weather is detrimental to Ms proper development. Sudan Grass does best on a rich loam, however, it wHl thrive on almost any ■ail where humus and plant food is available. The seed bed prepared for Sudan grass should be made by spring plowing followed by s thorough harrowing. However this seed germinates more freely in a warm and firm soil. The seed should be sown about com planting time at the rate of about twenty pounds to the acre if broadcasted and from two to eight pounds per acre if sown in drills; this quantity depending upon the distance between the rows. A moderate application of a good fertilizer will greatly increase the yield if sown on rather poor soil. From one to four cuttings can be made in a single season ; this being governed by the length of growing season and intervals between cuttings. The best time to cut for making into hay is just after full bloom; however, the grass may be cut earlier if more cuttings are desired and no injury will be done to tlk plant. Yields Varying frofn one to eight tons of cured hay per acre have been reported depending upon soil and climatic eondi- | tions. \ This new grass is a very promising •ne; having done well wherever tried jaoi. under favorable conditions and „ is . likely to very largely take, the place of the millets as a catch crop In Eastern States. . Its feeding qualities are about the same as timothy and makes a fine feed that is relished especially by cattle. fiincp it will yield a reasonable amount of cured bay on light soils, it is bound to be a valuable crop to grow in this Grown in Atlantic County last season, Sudan grass reached a height of ■even ' feet and the soil was not very abundantly supplied with plant food. The writer firmly believes that this grass should Ihtve a trial on any man's farm in Cape May County and certainly appears to be a grass that has come to stay and to occupy a prominent place in field rotation of crops.
