While oats seeded alone are comâ€" monly used for pasture, it is often more desirable to seed them in a mixture of vats at 2 bushels plus Sudan grass at 20 pounds per acre. ‘This mixture, however, should not be seeded as early as oats alone nor until the ground is warm. This is usually about the time corn is norâ€" mally planted. The oats grow quickly and provide early pasture, while Sudan grass makes its best growth later and u.suag after the oats have been grazed once. Sudan grass alone may be seedâ€" ed at 25 to 30 pounds per acre on any soil adapted for corn, but ‘should not be seeded as late as Emâ€" For further information on the use of different annuals for pasture write the Division of Forage Plants, Central Experimental Farm, Ottaâ€" heart.
