At Last Farmers in the Arid Region

The South Africa Maize Grows Luxuri-
antly In Spite of DrOuths-Is Prolific

and Animal Food.

The question of successful farming in
the semi arid regions OF the great west is
solved at last; that bngaboo, possible
failure of the wheat crop and conse-
quent demand of cash for flour to feed
the family, that has so long haunted
the waking hours and disturbed the
sleep OF the struggling western farmer,
is dispelled like the mists before the
south wind that blows across the track

a deliverer, coming, like London's fabu-
lous Barnatto, from the unknown realms
OF South Africa.
katfir corn, first introduced on the
American Continent from the Kafiir
country, in Africa, less than decade
since, is still an unknown product to
nine-tenths OF the people of the United
States. .3.
At first planted here and there as a
curiosity, it was found to grow readily
in all localities and under all conditions,
and experiment developed the fact that
1t would mature Il crop in the hottest
seasons on the high western plains. A
more extended planting of the new
grain and comparison of results OBJ
tsined soon developed the fact thar
whether the season was wet or dry, cool
or hot, long or short, this new product
would thrive on all kinds OF soil, with
the minimum OF care and cultivation,
and planted any time between the lst OF
April and the middle July IL would
mature an absolutely sure crop OF grain
and fodder before the frosts of autumn

seemingly OF equal benefit to its growth.
The stalk looks somewhat like sin
gle shoot OF common corn, but shorter,
attaining a height usually of from AZ to
9 feet, and having pointed leaves of a
rich green color. The grain forms in a
head at the extreme point OF the shoot,
where the tassel is on ordinary corn, the
heads being from I to l2 inches in
length and to in circumference, and
when ripe look like great white or red
plumes standing proudly erect.
The grains are almost round, little
larger than grain of rice and much re-
sembling grain OF wheat in interior
structure.
There are two varieties, red and white,
the latter being the favorite crop, and
the grains taken separately compare in
appearance most remarkably with an
cient descriptions OF the mama sent the
children OF Israel during their wander
ings in the desert, and, coming as it did
to the people OF the Western plains this
year when wheat and all else was so
greatly affected by the drouth, it seemed
like another supply of mamma sent by
the God OF Israel.
Though raised as an experiment here
and there throughout the West ior sew
eral years it was not until the presen t
year that it became prominent crop.
When the drouth of last spring killed
the wheat and oats and seemed almost
certain TO ruin the corn, the few who
had had experience with the new grain
began to advise their neigh6ors % plant
Katfir corn, as it would grow all right in
dry weather, and they could thus at
least raise feed for their stock. The
newspapers took np the advice AMI soon
every farmer throus shoIt the west was
planting Kaffir corn, utilizing the ground
where his wheat and oats had failed OF
planting on sod or scattered, patches
where his early corn had been burned
out. - ..
The planting was continued until well
along in August, ;, the acreage being in
many sections greater than that ever de-
voted to a single crop. In Oklahomi
alone nearly $4,000 acres were planted
with the new crop And>eyery grain o
it planted grew and thrived to maturity
rand before the summer was over the
farmers began to wonder what they
would do with tall. They knew it was
good feed for stock, ,obut there was no
stock enough in the the territory tt
consume it, and the product was yet $,

new that it was not recognized in the
outside markets. .
Experience had already developed the
TACT that it made most admirable feed,
either to winter stock or fatten them ior
market, but with an abundance OF the
grain on hand, Oklahoma farmers soon
discovered that it was better for horses
than either corn or oats, making them
fat and stont and giving them sleek
glossy appearance. Both horses and
cattle thrive on the grain, but do as
well on the fodder as on the best hay,
and will eat up the entire stalk, even
after it is quite dry, and cows produce
richer milk and more OF it than when
fed on hay and bran.
When it came to feeding hogs it was
found that they gained flesh more rapid
ly than when fed on common corn, and
poutrymen have found the Kaffir grain
an admirable egg producer, and when
led unrhreshed the fowls are given ex-
ercse in picking it from the head.
The boys and girls soon discovered
that it would pop as well as popcorn,
the grains popping out large, white and
tender, and women in the country found
that boiled like rice the grain was excel
lent eaten with cream and sugar, that
mashed in to a puppy mass it made an
admirable pudding, and it was also a
first class substitute hominy heing pre-
pared much easier than the regular
grades. .t.. .'sa. g..
Still the quantity produced, was so
great that the people continued to won
der what they would do with it. p, ,...,.
The owner Of the roller mills at ,Medl'
cine Lodge, Kan, on experiment bent,
ran some OF the grain through ,his; corn
meal grinder, and produced = meal pro-
nounced in every way equal to the or,

A Successful Revival.

The annual protracted meeting at

The opening and devotional exer-
cises were conducted by Elder P. ii.

While Bro. Womack did all the
preaching, Bro. Woodruff did not
fail to dis charge his duty IN exhort
ing and in instructing penitents.
Bro. Womack labored earnestly
and faithfully, never tir.t g nor new

AS u result of Bro. Womack's
earnest and faithful work, there were
eighty sinners professed faith in
Christ. Some who had spent three
score years and ten in sin, whose
gray heads told that they had spent
the better part of their lives in ad-

their bright professions, they gain
assurance that the remaining few
years of their lives would be spent
in subsection to the will Of their
Gre ator.
There were also fifty-seven add
