Points on KaHr Corn.

| And first, a word as to the variety of
Kaffir corn. We have for several years
grown two varieties here at the expert
ment station, which, from the color of
the seed, are respectively denominated
white and red Kaffir corn, They are
alike in their habits of growth. Both
attain a height of five to six feet, or
more on very rich soil. They have both
short, stiff stalks, thickly covered with
foliage, which resembles leaves of sor-
ghum, and both producea long, slender,
upright head, densely covered with
small, rounded seed. They differ, how
ever, not only in the color of the seed,
but also in the yield per acre and time
of ripening. The red variety has in
variably been the best yielder at this
station and it also matured couple of
weeks earlier than the white seeded
variety. Both points are of Importance.
While the red Kaffir corn has never
been injured by frost, the white variety
has failed to mature seed more than
once. Moreover, an unduly large per-
centage of the stalks of this kind fail to
push the head completely through the
sheath of the upper leaf and, from this
cause a portion of the heads thus
affected is mouldy below, or at best
bear but poorly developed seed on the
portion covered by the sheath. This is
rarely the case with the red variety.
For these reasons consider the latter
sort much the best of the two, although
the grain has a somewhat more astrin-
gent taste than the white seed. Both
are non saccharine, and in common with
all other sorghums they will stand
drouth much better than corn. In
comparison of the two the red seeded
variety must be given the preference.
Kafir corn seed is equal to corn in
feeding value, and the red variety yields
rather better than corn in all seasons,
and in dry seasons will produce a mod
crate crop of seed when corn only pro-
duces fodder. 1t is owing to these COM
bined good qualities that it is growing
more and more in favor throughout the
West, and especially west of the Miss
ouri river; and in my opinion it ought
to be planted much more generally than
is yet the case.
A plat of nearly two acres, on which
the wheat was winter killed, was planted
to. red Kafir corn at the experiment |
station, late in the spring of last year.
A large Usage orange hedge ran along |
one side of the strip and sapped the
ground considerably, and also afforded
roosting places to myriads of English
Sparrows, which latter pest began to
devour the seed as soon as it was fairly
out of the milk but with these draw
backs we still raised 1105s bushels of
clean seed, at so pounds to the bushel,
or at the rate of ffty-six and seven
tenths bushels per acre, besides nearly
three tons of cured fodder, of fine quail
ity, per acre. Corn in the same field
yielded just about half as much, both of
grain and fodder.

The consulting engineer of the
Western Irrigation Association, Mr.. H.
V. Hinckley, of Topeka, has recently
been testing wells in the western part of
the state and collecting reliable data
concerning the water supply. He says
there are millions of acres of land in
Western Kansas which can and will be
reclaimed to agriculture with the exist
ing water supply. There is strong
feeling that irrigation is to play an i'm
portant part in the further development
of the state, and the subject is now
being more generally discussed at farm
ers' meetings and in the newspapers
than ever before, the uniform conclusion
being that it offers great inducements
to the farmer of small means, and that
in a few years it will be prominent
feature in Western agriculture.

Judge Williams, of the u. S. district

Judge Williams, of the U. S. district
court at Wichita last week decided that
the new mortgage law passed at the last
session of the legislature did not apply
to any mortgages made prior to the
passage of that law. That all mortgages
made prior to that time must be fore
closed under the old law and no equity
of redemption could be allowed. Several
cases are pending in the supreme court
of this state on this question which will
probably be decided next month and
it is generally expected the decision
next month will be in accordance with
that of Judge Williams.
