w. l.. Clifford will probably be the
next state official to vacate his pre-
sent quarters In the old capitol build
ing. Mr.. Clifford arrived last nigh,
from Lewiston, having gone to his
home city and county for the purpose
of voting.
Naturally l am greatly pleased
over the result of the election" said
Mr. Clifford when seen this morning
Il am more than gratified over the
handsome vote of Endorsement given
me in my home county, Nez Perez
and in my temporary home county
Ada, where for the past two years
have been making my headquarters
am thankful to the people in this
county as well as over the state fol
their loyal support and vote of en-.
dersement."
Secretary of State Clifford ran well
at the head of his ticket in this coun
ty. Many Progressives, as indicated
by the ballots, voted for him, al
though they voted for other Progress
sive candidates.
All state officials are now very
busy looking over their new quarters
in the capitol building with view
Of asserting their present ones. They
expect to be comfortably located In
the new edifice within the next two
weeks. The supreme court chambers
and supreme court proper are prac.
tically completed and will be occu.
pied during the latter part of the
month. The November term of court
may be opened in the new chambers.
Crews Of men are busily engaged
removing the scaffolding in the ro-
tunda and under the dome and will
have the space cleared there today.
The debris is being rapidly taken
away and the marble floors cleaned.

oughly, using a spring tooth harrow II
possible or peg tooth If the spring
tooth is not available. This will tear
out large number of the root stalks,
which should be removed from the
field. A heavy seeding OF small
grain or millet should now be
sown which will keep down the john
son grass during the late fall and early
spring. This crop should be cut for
hay, and the land should next be plowed
and narrowed as before. It is well to
keep this land under thorough cult
walton during the summer months,
not permitting any OF the Johnson
grass to grow to any extent BY fall
the field will be free from the Johnson
grass. The main objection to this is
the loss of one years crop, but 1t has
been found to be the most satisfac-
tory way of killing out this grass.
Close pasturing and considerable
tramping is very injurious to Johnson
grass, and will practically kill 1t out
in time. A thorough drainage OF the
land, combined with the above, will
be of material assistance in eradicat-
ing Johnson grass.

SORGHUM AND JOHNSON GRASS

Mr.. H. H. Humphrey, Arlington,
Arizona, writes: What property does
sorghum take from the ground that
other grains need? / notice that
wheat and barley grown this spring
on plot of ground that had sorghum
on 1t last summer was very poor,
while on an adjoining plot of exactly
the same kind of soil the crop was
very good, making nearly twice as
much grain to the acre. Can you
advise me what is the best method Of
killing johnson grass?"
We have been unable to find an
analysis of sorghum which shows the
amount of the different plant food
elements that this crop takes from the
soil. Sorghum fodder is rather low in
protein and high in crude fiber as COM
pared with corn fodder. This would
lead us to believe that sorghum is not
mon corn. The amount of sugar
which sorghum contains varies from
two to twenty per cent of the juice, or
from one and one-half to twelve per-
cent of the cane. We note what you
say regarding the growth of oats and
wheat ON plot that produced sor-
ghum last year. The decrease in yield
may not have been due to any particu-
lar drain on the plant food elements
caused by the sorghum, but might
have been the result of a lack of
moisture. Sorghum is heavy feed
ing plant and requires considerable
moisture, hence 1t may have taken so
much moisture from the soil that
there was not sufficient amount as
compared with other fields to produce
a good crop of wheat or oats.
We do not believe that you will
have any trouble in cutting your corn
with the ordinary corn binder, even
though there are pea vines in the
corn. The corn binder may be used
very satisfactorily for cutting sor-
ghum. also milo maize. Where these
crops grow unusually high and heavy
some of the machines may not handle
them as easily as they do corn because
they are built for corn and not for
heavy sorghum crops. The height OF
grain that can be cut with the ordi-
nary grain binder varies some with
the binder This machine will handle
grain considerably higher than the
ordinary run of grains.
The most successful method OF kill
ing Johnson grass is to pillow early in

BALE THE HAY wv
BY q. n. Afford, H C Service Bureau,
Atlanta, Ga.

BY q. Il. Afford, l H C Service Bureau,
Atlanta, Ga.
Baled hay Is much more valuable as
= feed than loose hay, even when the
loose hay is well housed.
Loose hay carries a great quantity
Of dust and often gives the farm ami
mails severe cough while baled hay
does not.
Baled hay takes up about one-fifth as
much room as loose hay and for this
reason the entire crop of baled hay
can usually be stored under cover
while loose hay must be exposed to
the weather in stocks and ricks.
Baling breaks up coarse hay so that
the stock will eat 1t more readily and
there Is no waste in feeding baled
hay.
Baled hay is always ready for the
market. It Is convenient and salts
factory to handle in every way. It
can be hauled by team or shipped by
railroad.
Much of the tops and sides of stacks
Is spoiled by the weather.
Loose hay becomes dusty and
musty. Baling hay keeps out the dust
and preserves the hay.
Baled hay retains much Of the
sweet hay odor that stock relish.
There's freshness and appetizing
quality and feed value in baled hay
that is never to be found in loose
hay.
We should bale our hay whether we
feed 1t on our own farms or sell it. OF
course, the market demand is for baled
hay-and for baled hay only and for
this reason baling is the only way to
be sure of having market for
It.
The growing of hay and especially
leguminous hay as cowpea, soy bean,
peanut and lespedeza will rapidly in
crease the fertility of our soils, make
the raising of good live stock profit
able and add very much to the income
on the farms.
We can buy one-horse pull-power
hay press or we can buy a motor hay
press. For the small farmer who
bales his own hay, the one-horse pull
power hay press will prove very salts
factory and economical With it he
can bale his hay at the time most con-
venient and with a small amount OF
help. For the farmer who grows large
quantities Of hay or for the farmer
who bales hay for his neighbors the
twohorse pull-power or the motor hay
press is necessary.
OF course, no man can tell the exact
capacity of any hay press as this de-
ponds to considerable extent upon
the kind and quality of hay being
baled, the skill of the operators, and
the speed of the team. However I'M
der ordinary conditions AXIS two
horse pull-power hay press will bale
about tons per day, 14x1S press
operated with a 3-horse power engine
will bale about IL tons per day,
16x18 press with 4-horse power en-
CINE about IA tons per day, and a
17x22 press with 6horse power en-.
CINE 16 tons per day
We should purchase a hay press
that has been designed for conven-
fence. There should be considerable

FOUR BATTLE FOR LIFE.
Family Rescued From Swollen Stream
After Heroic Eiqht,

Columbus junction, March 30.-F'our
persons three adults and an infant.
We're involved in an accident due to
the present state of high water in the
small streams of this section which
might have easily proved fatal to any
of them and which almost resulted in
the drowning Of the child. when MIR.
and Mrs. Clarence Lamb. and little
daughter Francis. and Otis Thompson
We're precipitated into swollen small
stream that flows thru the farm OF
B. Thompson. three and one-half miles
northwest of this place.
The Lambs and Otis Thompson were
en- route to the S b. Thompson home
and when they reached the bridge
across Short Creek they found the
stream flowing over It, Believing the
water was but few inches over the
floor Of the bridge they started to cross
but when they got onto the bridge the
water came I'D to the wagon. They
would. probably. have succeeded In
crossing in safety had not the horses
stopped and the swiftly flowing waters
washed the wagon bed from the trucks
precipitating the occupants into the
creek.
A desperate struggle for life followed
The three adults chung together, one OF
the men grabbing the mother who held
the child in her arms and the other
lending such assistance as he might.
In the struggle the waters wrenched
the child from Mrs. Lambs arms. but
Thompson seized the baby as the wa
tiers carried her by him Fortunately
the current carried them all toward the
shore they were struggling to reach and
Mr. Lamb was able to reach the shore
from which ne assisted the others TO
safety. Some OF the neighbors had seen
the accident and help was soon forth
coming. 1t was at first thought that
the childs life was extinct but heroic
measures at last succeeded in .eviving
the spark of life
