SORGHUM Forage.

Stockmen place high value upon sor-
ghum for soiling purposes. 1t is not only
excellent forage for growing animals and
those being prepared for market, but a
good summer and early autumn feed for
dairy cattle. There is considerable preju-
dice in some sections against it on ac-
count of reputed righteousness to stock
but it is also claimed that the trouble is
the same as when hungry animals are
allowed to gorge themselves with clover
or any other succulent forage. In re-
gard to the details of growing it Agro-
ilologist Lamson-Scribner says that when
designed for forage with ordinary farm
rotations there is seldom need of much
of an application of fertilizers. Well
rotted barnyard manure is perhaps the
best fertilizer. The commercial sorts con-
tanning potash, phosphoric acid and nj
trogen may also be used, though as a
rule but little of the last substance will
be necessary. 1t is a common practice
to use 80 to 200 pounds of cotton-seed
meal per acre on land to be sown to this
crop.
The best time for planting this crop
for forage is about the middle of April
AS rule. the best forage is obtained by
sowing the seed broadcast or with a
press drill. such as is used in planting
small grain. In the West and Southwest
the latter method is to be preferred as
the cane stands up better and is not 50
likely 20 suffer from drouth. On some
soils better results are obtained by drop
ping or drilling the seed in rows far
enough apart to allow an occasional stir
ring with cultivators.
Many farmers mix corn, millet and va
rious kinds of peas or beans with the
sorghum and i'm this way secure a better
quality of forage. The large amount CT
muscle making substances in the
legumes together with the sugar and
other fat forming elements in the cane
afford . much more evenly balanced ra-
ton than either of the plants would
make alone. Moreover, the legumes will
do much to replace whatever nitrogen the
sorghum may take from the soil.
Sorghum should always be sown much
thicker when grown for forage than
when it is to be used in the manufacture
of sugar and molasses. Under ordinary
conditions ~ to bushels of seed (45 TO
60 pounds will be sufficient when sown
broadcast, and a somewhat less amount
will suffice when planted with the press
drill. If the cane is intended for a sum-
mer pasture, a little more seed may be
used
If peas or like crops are sown with
sorghum, three pecks to bushel of each
will be ample. When planted in hills or
drills for cultivation with hoe and pillow,
the seed should also be planted more
thickly than when grown for the manu-
facture of sugar or molasses. otherwise
the cane is likely to be too large to be
easily handled, and stock will not eat IL
up clean. In many places In the South
one seeding is sufficient for several years
as the cane sprouts I'D each season from
the old stubble.

Wiregrass Blade: Several days ago it
was reported that a Miss Candy, who
lives near Mcleod, had mysteriously dis
appeared. and it was thought that she
had committed suicide, as she stated the
day before that she was going to make
an effort to shuttle off this mortal coil.
The creeks and ponds all over that
neighborhood were seined but the body
could not be found, and the searchers
gave up the hunt in dspair. thinking
probably that the young lady had taken
her body with her, which she did. She
is now a the home of a Mr.. Almond,
about twenty miles from where she was
last seen by her friends. Thus one of the
biggest sensations Emanuel county has
ever had was nipped in the bud.

floats alone and buys the acid phosphate
OF the dissolved bone.
Bone is cellular in structure When
1t is crushed and ground an enormous
surface Is exposed to the action of any
solveit, whether in the soil or in the lab
oratory. But the phosphate of lime of
which it is chiefly composed is still en-
veloped in animal matter which renders
raw ground bone even less soluble in the
Reagents of the soil than floats. But
when it is exposed to the powerful SOL
vent of superheated steam, this animal
matter Is removed and the bone becomes
highly soluble
Ordinary rock phosphates are very diff
ferent in their structure from bone phos-
phate. Instead of having cellular struc-
ture, they are solid and compact They
also contain no nitrogen and no other
carbonic or other vegetable acids to
stimulate the functional activity of the
fibers of plants. Even when ground to
an almost mpalpa BILE powder each minute
particle under the microscope is seen to
be just as hard and fiinty and insoluble
as the parent mass. In the laboratory
The difference in soublity between ground
bone and ground phosphate rock depends
entirely upon the cellular structure and
the greater surface exposure of the form
err to the action of solvents.
The simple fact is, the rock phosphate
has been exposed for millions of years,
probably, to the enormous pressure of the
superintendent crust of the earth, per-
haps also to bodies of water and has be-
come so indurated and petrified in it's
structure that nothing short of a power

its content of phosphoric acid available

mans agricultural operations. If every
one of mans wears were heightened out
to fifty, he could conduct his agriculture
with raw ground bone phosphate; but as
he is not so constituted, he wishes and
absolutely needs to see an effect from his
applications the same year he makes
them.
