It belongs to the sorghum family and crosses readily with other forms. d. It is - m annual and must be grown from tin* seed each year. I.

When seeded in rows, two or three pounds of seed should be planted per acre. S. Sudan gauss is a hay plant and will eventually he grown for this purpose. Growing for seed) is the more profitable at present. 9. Seed should bo purchased only from reliable parties or where Johnson grass is not found i growing. 10.
