V ' 1 iI Sudan Grass Is Favored k Pasture for Live-Stoc- Sudan grass has proved to be the most satisfactory summer pasture for all classes of live stock In Kansas, according to the report of L. E. Call, dean of the division of agriculture at the Kansas State Agricultural college and director of the Kansas experiment station. It retains Its succulence In dry weather and withstands drought better than any other pasture crop under observation by the experiment station. Sweet clover is less valuable for hogs than alfalfa but Is satisfactory for cattle and sheep. Orchard grass has proved to be one of the most satisfactory permanent pasture grasses. It is easy to start, stands grazing well, and all classes of live Stock relish it throughout the entire grazing season. I Agricultural Facts s Hoooiso,oooa Forcing yields up forces costs down.
