Show VALUE OF SUDAN GRASS CROP Nebraska Experiment Station Not Satisfied Sat-isfied It Is Superior to Sorghum as Stock Feed. The results of three years have not proved at the North Platte, Nebraska Ne-braska experimental BUbstation that sudan grass is superior to sorghum, but later tests under different weather weath-er conditions may give results more favorable to sudan grass. It is lauded as a dryland crop but may, like brome grass, prove a humid or subhumld crop rather than a semiarld crop. The feeding value per ton seems to be about the same as sorghum or prairie prai-rie bay. As the Sudan grass stems are fine and rather leafy there may not be as much waste as In feeding sorghum. On the other hand, the stems of the sudan grass seem very dry and somewhat pithy, and possibly are not relished as much as the stems of sorghum. |
