been seeded. Hungarian millet
may be sown this late with great
er safety than any of the other
catch crops. Common millet can
not be sown quite so late, while
German millet should never be
seeded later than the first of Ju-
ly. It must be remembered that
all of the millets make the best
hay when cut just after the heads
are out, but before seed forms.
Sorghum may be sown as late
as July, but there is a large
chance, especially in the north
ern part of our territory, that it
will have to be cut for hay while
immature in order to avoid frost
The Early Amber is the standard
early maturing variety of sor-
ghum. In the southern half of
the corn belt an early variety of
cowpeas, such as the New Era,
may be sown as late as July 10th.
An early variety of SOY beans
may also be used this late.
Those of our readers who are
facing a short hay crop and have
the land available will do we'll to
act at once, using any of the
above standard catch crops. Sor-
ghum is seeded at the rate of so
to 100 pounds to the acre, millet
three pecks to a bushel, cowpeas
a bushel to a bushel and half
sown broadcast, and soy beans a
bushel to a bushel and a half.
The seed cost per acre varies
from about $1.30 in the case of
miIlet to $3.50 or 81 in the case
of cowpeas or soy beans.-Wal-

Sulphur Loss in Soil

Recent Investigations at thu

dictate that sulphur as we'll al
phosphorus, nitrogen and potas
stun may be a limiting element
of soil fertility. 1t now appear.
that the ordinary soil contain:
only enough of sulphur to pro
duce about one hundred normal
grain crops, provided, of course,
that no sulphur is returned in
manure or fertilizers. 1t is sug.
gested that sulphur exhaustion
in the soil may be avoided by the
conscientious return of manure OF
BY the use of such fertilizers as
gypsum, ammonium sulphate and
potassium sulphate, all of which
are rich IN sulphur.
AS to how exactly correct the
Wisconsin investigators are in
their researches, we can not, OF
course, state. Several years ago
we understood that it was quite
definitely settled that there was
plenty of sulphur in most of our
soils to last us indefinitely. The
scientists, it seems, however,
made some mistake in theft meth

classed with the other scarce ele-
ments of soil fertility, nitrogen,

Ponds Save Far
merS Taxes.
The Kansas Legislature Provided
Against the DrOuth.

Topeka, June 2S.-The last
legislature must have seen the
drouth coming. At any rate il
passed a law, the benefits OF
which are just becoming appar-
emit, that it was intended to safe
guard farmers in the western
half of the state against a short
age of water by providing tax re-
bates where ponds where built.
A number of farmers took ad-
vantage of the law and built
dams early in the spring when
water was abundant and, as a re-
suit, had plenty of water for
stock, while their neighbors have
been forced to haul water long
distances or dispose of their stock
at low prices.
The law applies to ponds al
ready built ANYWHERE IN
THE STATE as we'll as to new
ly constructed reservoirs. 1t pro-
vides that for dams of earth i'm
bonding not less than an acre
foot of water the landowner shall
have a reduction of 500 in as
sessment. Not more than three
such dams shall be counted on
each 16O-acre tract. Ponds con-
tanning four acre feet or more OF
water will reduce the assessment
$500 for each pond. For dams oi
brick, cement or stone, an addi'
tional reduction of 500 in assess
ment for each dam, not to exceed
three on each 160-acre tract is
provided.
The law directs the county en-
gineer to survey ponds and draw
plats of them at the expense Of
the county, for the purpose Of
certifcation to the board of com
missioners with the farmers ap'
plication for reduction in assess
ment. 1t is made the engineers
duty, also, to give free advice tC
farmers desiring to construct
dams.

Fight the DrOuth.
To Wallace's Farmer:


The experiment station here is
receiving so many inquiries in re-
gard to the proper methods Of
cultivating corn during the dry
weather that is deemed advisable
to call attention to some means
of saving soil moisture and Of
fighting the drouth that is threat
ening the entire state this
summer.
Very little can be done to save
the uncultivated crops, like oats
and grass, but so far as corn or
any other cultivated crop is con-
cerned, a drouth may be effect
lively fought by continued and
persistent cultivation of the right
sort, If a mulch of loose, dry
soil is kept on the ground, a
great amount of water will be
saved that would otherwise come
to the surface of the soil and
evaporate and be lost. The most
effective mulch is one about three
inches deep, made by a small
shoveled, shallow-running imple-
ment that will leave the ground
practically level. A spring tooth
cultivator with six or eight SHOW
els on each gang is one of the
best implements for dry weather,
or a one-horse garden plow after
the corn is too large to work with
the ordinary cultivator. If other
implements are used, they should
be run shallow, so as not to dis
turb the corn roots at a time
when they are so badly needed.
These small-toothed implements
leave a loose, dry layer of soil on
top for a mulch, which acts like
a blanket thrown over the ground
and keeps the water from being
lost by evaporation.
The drier the weather, the Oft
ener a man should cultivate, in
order to keep a good mulch, and
cultivation should be done at
least once a week in a drouth. It
is a good plan to continue the
cultivativation even after the
corn is too large to plow with the
ordinary cultivator. A One-hOrse
garden plow, or even an old now
er wheel weighted down and
dragged between the rows will
give good results, and in such
dry weather as the present will
add considerable to the yield Of
the crop.
Some people have the idea that
it does no good to cultivate corn
during dry weather, when it is
clean and the ground loose, but
this is a mistaken idea. The Oft
ener one cultivates, the more wa
ter he will save, for if the ground
is left unstirred very long, the
particles settle together again
and the water can get through
the mulch to the surface of the
ground, and hence be wasted.
The only way to fight a drouth
in the corn field is by continued
and persistent, shallow and level
cultivation, and the man who
follows this plan will win out
when he goes to harvest his crop.
