GLENDALE.

When the inhabitants of this
county, especially those at Ellen
dale, awoke on Friday morning of
last week, the whole earth presented
I a scene never to be forgotten. and
the sight of which was never be-
held before. The entire surface of
the earth was surging sea of wa
ter with only the buildings to be
seen above it. During the night
the elements had spent their fury
upon US and left destruction and
devastation. In her wake. the fur
ious gale of wind and hail had left
orchards strewn with broken limbs
and uprooted trees; fields of wheat
beaten down, and corn and tomato
fields cut into shreds and tatters-I
and in many instances several feet
under water. We are unable topic
ture the distress and woe that faced
the farmers upon this occasion. (

Land which is in good condi-
ton for wheat is we'll prepared
for bronze grass, and the seed of
it can be sown as early as the soil
is in good condition, as it is not
sensitive to frost. The Station
has sown it with good results as
late as August first upon land
which has been kept free from
weeds, and upon which the mois-
ture has been preserved by fre-
quent cultivation.

airy drill by running the drill
shallow and by making a shaker
or agitator to cause the seed to
feed thru the force feed arrange

An agitator consists Of a strip

the drill box half full Of seed, re-
move the lid and have a boy sit
astride the box and move the
agitator from end to end OF the
box as the drill is driven thru the
field. The agitator will cause the
seed to feed down even and regul.

The seed of bronze grass is US
ually sold by the hundred pounds
rather than by the bushel, but it
generally weighs about fourteen
pounds per bushel.
There is no way OF telling the
growing strength and consequent
value OF the seed except by count
ng out one, two or three hundred
OF the seeds and trying their
sprouting and growing strength
in a shallow box Of sand or in q
germinator, which should begiv-
en- the temperature OF a common
living room. If the seeds seem
chaffy and poorly filed it is suf-
ficent ground for suspicion.

seems best adapted for bronze
grass but it does well in COM
parison with other crops upon

reports having had good success
with it upon land sufficiently
alkaline to prevent wheat from
making a crop.
