Book Description

Excerpt from Kiester-Hall Seed Annual, 1920 Sudan grass, because of the certainty with which it pro duces, its rapidity of growth, the number of crops that can be harvested in a given season, its palatability and high nutritive value, makes it possible for any farmer to raise on a limited acreage sufficient feed for all his work stock. On the average fifty-acre farm, from two to five acres are advised; on larger farms, in proportion. Thus it makes stock farming an easier possibility than ever before. In augmenting the production of live stock and live stock products, it means much to the prosperity of the nation, Sudan grass fits well into most any crop rotation or cropping system practiced in this country. Planted in the spring, it produces from two to four crops and is killed by the first freeze of winter. It makes intensive farming an easy possibility where it has hitherto not been practiced. It thus increases the possibilities of this country for a large population. It will assist in solving the problem of what to do with our immigrants, who are sure to come to the United States now that the European war is over.
