Sudan Grasshas long passedthe experimen-tal state. It hascome to stay.It is of specialvalue in the aridand semi-aridsections of Cali-fornia. It growsin a wide rangeof soils fromsand to clay andproduces fromfour to six cut-tings of highlynutritious haywhere othercrops would bea failure, and asa pasture crop itis unequaled.
