W I. freeman, who farms about
a mile north of Steplienx die, plant-
ed about an eighth of a acre to
Sudan grass tliis year for experi-
mental purposes, and I fie result has
been highly salisfactory, in that
it proves to do well in tiis soil,grow
nig to an average of about seven
feet high. '
From what we have recently
read of this crop we gather that
it is a great drouth resister, resem-
bling Johnson grass and tin* sor-l
glmnis m many ways.
Tiie county demonstration agent, \
who has been somewhat interested
in Mr. Freeman's small patch since
it xxa- planted, is of tin* opinion
that Ibis crop will in the near fu-
ture I'onie into general use for a
liny crop m rath county, and we ar
inclined to believe lieis correrj.
Sudan grass, planted early, will
produce three cuttings annually,
making about a Ion of bay per
acre each cutting. About four bun
deed pounds of seed may also lie
harvested the first rutting, and
possibly the same amount from the
s Tond and tbird together.
The hay is considered belter feed
Ilian Johnson grass, and we are in-
formed sells al a slightly higher
price.
Tile -eed pule xai'letles of l'e-
e|ealled seed sell now at 7T>r pel*
pound. At least that is what you
would pr<*1 iii111y have to pay if you
iWel'e buying. \l t tin I price Hie
eed W oilbI make a pi el Iy decent
ncome per acre slit Mi for I crop,
uid a good chance to get more on
the next liarxests, looks pretty good
i H course, l liis is on paper. < ui
...e farm, in actual practice. We
xxe doubt anybody being able to
realize on Sudan grass at stjou per
acre, each crop, but in the west,
around Lubbock, this crop is now
in its fourth year, and is consider-
ed I lie redeeming crop of the droll I
stricken west. And in many install
ecs it produces a ton of hay and
ioii pound- of seed per acre. Even
if j| produces half that amount.and
I lie hay sells at I tae a bale and the
seed at the to Abe a pound, then,
il would prove to be a mere valu-
able crop | hail any we now produce
m eonliuereia I ipianl il ies.
Prof. I .at ham says the greatest
handicap lie can foresee in getting
I i hi- crop started w ill be in seeur
ling pu re seed, as I lie crop must
! he tilled from Johnson era
-ci gliums to prevent mixing.
F;r liter,- win arc di-gn-1'ed w dli

11<• t m tins new crop, and wr ad-
x |,r i hose interested to look into
