VAL VERDE FARMERS
TO TRY PARA GRASS
Experiments Prove 1t Can
Be Successfully Raised
There.

Del Rio. Texas, Oct. 29-That the
Del Rio country will produce para
grass profitably has been demonstrated
as a result Of experiments conducted
by A S. Smith, secretary or the Val
Verde county Farmers institute, CO.
operating with the Commercial CLUB
Large quantities of Johnson grass are
raised in this section but the trouble
involved in killing it out and the fact
that it spreads so easily, often getting
established in a farm whose owner
does not desire it, has brought some OF
the local farmers TO a realization that
some other hay would thrive and re-
suit in little if any trouble to them
selves and neighbors.
The para grass was obtained by the
Commercial club from the department
of agriculture and Mr.. Smith planted 1t
on subirrigated land. It's growth has
been highly satisfactory. Spreading
from, runners, it soon establishes itself
in a. field, but unlike Johnson grass,
it can be easily eradicated by shall
low blowing, as the runners are most
ly on the surface. The field here has
reached a heighth of four or five feet
and the stand is practically perfect.
tender and nutritious and the yield is
very heavy. 1t makes excellent pas
ture and is not injured by moderately
close grazing or by heavy trampling.
Moist land is needed for it's successful
production, though it does fairly well
no rather dry soil.

CURES LIKE MAJ
Drugless Treatment Restores Health Will

Here's a remedy that cures while
you sleep. No poisonous drugs to
swallow. No weak stomach or di-
gestive troubles due to dragging.
This remedy is Natures medicine
electricity.
The only way to cure anything
is to help Nature. Nature will cure
when she has the power. That
power is electricity. Feed it to
your nerves and they will absorb
and carry it to every organ and
tissue of the body, where it gives
health and vim to every ailing
part.
The reason drugs don't cure is
because they do not assist Nature.
Nature needs nourishment. strength.
something that builds up. Drugs
contain no nourishment, no cleo
tricity. not one thing that builds
vitality-just poison that tears
down.
My way is the best way of ap-
plying electricity. It's the only
method that has proven successful.
I've had 20 years experience in
treating disease with electricity
and know more about it than any
other doctor on earth. My Electra

Alfalfa Injuries Grain.
Well established alfalfa has bad eff

crops and as intercultures. The inter
cultural crops in an old alfalfa were
sown for about third of stand.
and in all cases except with rye, the
stems were lighter that where grown
alone. There was practically no diff
ference in the height OF rye whether
sown as a pure culture, nurse crop or
interculture. However, the rye would
not tiller when sown as nurse crop
or interculture and made slenderef
stems The grains made only one stem
from each seed. Rye, growing alone
where it had sufficient light, yielded as
many as SO stems from one seed. The
following represents the weights OF
25 representative stems of grain from
each of the three plats:
AS pure cultures: Rye, grams. 225;
wheat, grams, 2SS; oats, grams, PIP.
AS nurse crop with alfalfa: Rye,
grams, 122: wheat, grams, 165; oats,
grams, 161.
AS interculture with alfalfa: Rye,
grams, 139; wheat grams, '127; oats,
grams, 4S.
Another Good Test.
At the same experiment station,
field of alfalfa sown without nurse
crop was IS inches high, when one
planted with nurse crop showed
plants varying in height up to eight
inches at the same time The differ
ences in root development became
strikingly apparent during May and
June, when a shortage of water was
experienced and no water was to be
had until the summer rains began in
July The second crop early in June
was about half grown in the pure Gull
ture field and was cut in order to save
the roots. The nurse crop field was
cut earlier and twice to save its roots.
When water came, the alfalfa which
has been sown alone resumed growth
and produced a normal crop the rest
of the season. The other field grew
slowly and did not produce a fair cut
ting until fall and did not return to
normal yield until the next season.
But for prompt work in cutting, the
stand started with a nurse crop would
have been lost It is TO be expected
that plants with roots extending to
a depth of two feet and more would
withstand drouth better than alfalfa
planted at the same time but with
roots penetrating only two to six
inches.

Formation Of Rio Grande Valley
Lands Show Divers Conditions

equals silt; t.01-.O05 nm equals fine
silt; .005--Oo01 nm. equals clay.
Sandy or CIayey Soil.
When soil contains large amount
of sand or clay it is referred to as
sandy or clayey. A loan is intermediate
between sand and clay and does not
have the porosity of the sand nor the
tenacity or imperviousness of the clay.
A light soil is loose one through
which the water passes easily; it parts
with its moisture readily and is liable
to be affected by drouth. A clay soil
is heavy; it takes up water slowly and
parts with it more slowly than the
looser soils. Sandy soils warm up more
quickly than clayey ones. Color af-
fects the temperature of soils wonder
fully; soil coated with lime is often
to 10 degrees cooler than one colored
with lamp black. On cloudy days,
however, there is no noticeable differ
ence in their temperature. Soils con-
tanning large amounts of organic mat
ter are consequently warmer than the
light colored ones. Soils that contain
a high percentage of silt are easy to
keep in good physical condition; they
are not loose and open like sandy ones
nor do they have the tendency to form
clods or bake and crack like clay soils.
Humus soils are the highest; sandy
soils the heaviest The more organic
matter in a soil, the less it weighs. For
this reason, the surface layer of soil is
usually lighter than the subson Com
mon arabic soil weighs from so. to 90
pounds per square foot when thor
oughly dry. Soil is not a solid mass,
but is usually about so percent air
space.
Variation of Sands.
Numerous bOrings made in a piece of
land adjoining an old river bed in the
Mesilla valley disclosed great differ
ences in the soil layers and their tex
ture. The fine sand varied from to
Is percent; the very fine sand from
p to 43 percent; the silt, from to %
percent; the fine silt from to is per-
cent; the clay from IS TO 80 percent In
most cases the lower soil samples were
heavier, but in certain areas it was
lighter An ideal soil for cultivated
crops under conditions as they exist in
the Rio Grande valley consists of to
feet Of loan underlain by stratum
Of heavy clay. The loan allows ready
ingress of the water and the underly-
ing layer of clay retains it at a depth
where it is easily reached by the plant
roots.

a VARIATION of temperature
~ above or below the normal,
within limits, does not pre-
vent Matching. Temporary changes
have little effect, for the egg takes
some time to change. A rise to 100
degrees or 100 degrees does not al
ways kill the embryo, but at III de-
grees it usually dies.
AT an advanced stage of incubation,
a temperature exceeding Ill degrees
causes the myosine of birds to coagu-
late and destroys the muscular system
A fall in temperature, when not too
prolonged, does not kill the embryo,
but causes retardation and even sus-
pension of the phenomena of life.
There is no evolution below 50 de-
grees. The constant production of new
cells is the most important part of the
early part of incubation. This is soon
accompanied by the contraction of the
heart and the concomitant circulation.
Fallen Temperature Retards Matching

Possibilities for Crop.

Pecos, Texas, Oct. CIV. s. Ober-
hotter, a farmer living six miles east
of Pecos and about three miles from
Barstow has brought in samples of cot
ton grown by irrigation on his 40 acre
farm. He stated that he would gather
more than half a bale of cotton to the
acre and considered cotton to be one Of
the most promising irrigation plants for
small water service he had ever seen.
IF we get no frost before another 10
days or two weeks, we will gather a
considerable crop in our part of the
valley. My alfalfa is exceeding my
greatest expectations and when
planted cotton I did so more as an ex-
pertinent than anything else. While
believe that alfalfa is the great crop
for this session. am also inclined to be-
lieve that if cotton continues to sell at
13c and better, that we can grow it by
irrigation and make a handsome profit.

TT is fact well known that the soils
of the Rio Grande valley rank high
in crop producing power. The water
of the river, especially when very muddy,
carries plant food enough 10 the land
every year to replace that which is
consumed by the grossest feeder among
our crops. Only nitrogen is not sup
piled in sufficient quantities to re-
plenish tat taken up by the plants;
nevertheless over 100 pounds of this
most valuable of fertilizers is annually
added In two-acre feet of water. Our
soils are practically inexhaustib1e and
so long as sufficient river water is ap-
piled and the land properly cultivated,
there is little danger here of soil ex-
haustion.
Disclosures From Tests.
Soil Investigations 1t the New Mex
Eco college Of agriculture have dis
closed the source of our valley soils.
They have not all been deposited by the
river, but have resulted in part from
the wash from the foothills and the
drifting action of winds.
Four factors are recognized as hav-
ing entered into the formation of many
of the valley lands.
First river deposits are responsible
for the lands lying in the bottoms and
adjacent to the present bed and old
river beds.
Second. wash from the foothills has
brought material down the arroyos
that is time and again encountered in
valley farms.
Third, sediment deposited by irri-
eating water is silt and clay usually,
(which, deposited at the average rate Of
one-fourth inch per year. has great in
fluence on the texture and compost
ton of the cultivated layer of the soils.
Fourth, the winds of the southwest.
reaches the rate of over 20 miles an
hour, drift considerable quantities of
soil Everyone has noticed the soil de-
posted wherever vegetation is at all
dense This material is taken by
farmers who are leveling their lands
and spread over large areas, or else If
Is used to fill hollows.
Soils Are Diversified.
These four methods of deposition
have made our soils very uneven in
texture, so much so, in fact, that with
the possible exception OF the newer
soils in the bottoms 1t is difficult to
find a farm of any size without & d.
versity of soils. The soil is not or
dinarily found laid down in uniform
layers, but is spotted without any
definite arrangement in the order OF
deposition.
The principal types of soil texture
recognized when studying bne physical
properties Of soils are clay. clay loam,
loan, sandy loan and sand. The two
extremes of soils are clay, or adobe,
and sand. The former is composed of
very small particles which, while wet,
are sticky, and very hard when dry;
the sandy soil is made up of distinct
grains which possess little attraction
or unity. Mechanical analysis Of soils
determine the amount of the various
particles present. They are divided &C
carding to their size into the following
groups: 2-1 MillimeIer Il nm. equals
about one-twenty-fifth inch) equals
fine gravel; 1-.5 nm. equals coarse
sand; .5-.25- nm. equals medium sand;
.25-.1 nm equals fine sand; .1-.05
