STEWART & KERNAGHAN Edgefield, South Carolina America's Greatest Grass es FOR HAY SEED s M FORAGE Ks M SILAGE GROW SUD?N GRASS The most wonderful grass of the age, introduced and endorsed by the U. S. Agricultural Department. Tested severely by the farmers in all parts of Texas successfully. Makes more seed and better hay than any other forage plant known. Under ordinary circumstances produces 300 to 600 pounds of seed and three to six tons of choice hay per acre the same season. Adapted to all sorts of soil. Resists severest drought and does well in wet weather. Takes two to four pounds of seed to an acre in drills, and sixteen to twenty-four pounds broadcast. Equals timothy in quality of hay, and all kinds of live stock prefers it to alfalfa. Last spring the seed sold for $2.00 to $4.00 per pound, and all who grew it then will sow more next year. It is now selling for $1.00 per pound, and will go higher before next spring, as the supply is lim ited. We wiil send pure Sudan seed, prepaid by parcel post, for $1.00 per pound, in lots of fifty pounds and under, not less than one pound considered. Larger lots by freight cheaper. Better send for seed now and be sure of getting it and save money, and then make more money next season. Every one who can should try this great grass.
