SORGHUM GROWN IN DRY FARMING COUN-
large percentage of the stalks were an
inch in diameter. Sorghum is allowed
to ripen seed and is then cut rather
close to the ground and put in small
open shocks. When the blades are
thoroughly cured it may be hauled in
and set up in NOW or shed and will
keep perfectly until New Years or
longer 1t is not wise to try to keep it
late in the winter since after time
the juice gets sour if the sorghum is
stored in a damp place, or if kept very
dry the stalks become woody and less
palatabIe.
Sorghum is frequently sown with cow
peas and cut and cured for hay. 1t is
sometimes planted quite thickly in the
drill and cut and shocked as described.
After some experience with all these
methods, however, | feel sure that the
best plan is to give it plenty of room
to make big, juicy stalks. All kinds Of
live stock are fond of these, and they
are fine feed for cattle and hogs. A
few stalks day are splendid for
horses and mules that are being fat
tened, and hogs will chew them with
the greatest relish. l do not believe,
however, that it pays to grow sorghum
for fattening hogs to gather in the
field. They have to work too hard to
get the stalks broken down.
OF course sorghum is very one
sided feed and should not be made the
whole forage ration for any sort of
young stock 1t is very rich in carbo-
hydrates and low in protein and should
be fed with care to horses and prop
erly balanced with more heterogeneous
feeds for all animals. So fed. however,
it Is excellent and should be more gen
orally grown. In dry season | be-
lieve sorghum will give more feed to
the acre than almost any crop that can
be grown, and it has the ability to
make a yield on lands too poor to pro-
duce crop of corn: TO do it's best,
however, it must have just such soil
as corn needs-deep, loose. rich. well
filled with stable manure or other vege-
table matter. On such soil yield Of
fifteen or twenty tons to the acre is
easily possible.

GETTING Into Hard Soil.

In raising a good crop it must be
conceded that traction farming is far
ahead of farming done with animal
power. 1t is well known fact and all
agricultural authorities agree that deep
blowing and the packing of the subsoil
produce better crop than is possible
with the ordinary method of shallow
blowing. 1t is almost an impossibility
to plow deep with horses and the com
mon horse plow because the entire out
fit is too light to get down into the
hard soil. On the other hand. an ell
CINE is heavy and strong enough to be
forced deep enough to secure good re-
suits. At the same time it is far cheap
er to plow with an engine than it is to
plow with horses.-American Agricul-
turist.

COST OF NAVY VS.. CHEWING GUM
Shall it be BattIeships or Gum-What
Statistics Show.

The possibilities in the way of sta
tistics are endless concerning the cost
of battleships and the great benefits
to be derived by divertihg such an
amount of money into other channels.
The editorial comment in the Army
and NAVY Register of September ID,
entitled Battleships or Good Roads
prompts a naval Officer to suggest
the following:
The annual cost of the NAVY is
equal to the annual cost of all the
chewing gum consumed in our coun-
try plus two-thirds the actual cost of
the candy eater. Now, if we would
abolish naval approx riations, which
are very bad and which make people
very bad, indeed. and which tend to
make US "a nation of murderers. we
might use the money properly and so
chew two sticks of gum, where only
one is now chewed and suck five sticks
Of candy, where only two are now
sucked Or take it the other way
about: Candy and chewing gum are
very bad.
Therefore, let us make good use
OF the money we spend in running the
digestion Of our women and children
and thus encouraging murder and de-
pravity and in cultivating jaw mus
cies, until We have such lamentable
exhibitions of the lawtulness of the
nabIt as appears in some of the
speeches made in Congress on this
SUBJECT. Let US use the money. so
worse than misspent for the annual
cost Of the Navy and thus solve the
problem Of finding funds for an ade-
quate navy to keep US in peace as
well as preserve US in war. +"

"JIM CROW" ESCAPES.
Big Chase Ends in a Fierce Fight.

A big excitement was caused yester.
day afternoon when Jim Crow
made his escape from basement near
Main street. He was seen and a
crowd with a yell started to give
chase. jim was some Fast Splinter
and was evidently used to lodging
and ducking into alleys as the chase
led up the street and down alleys and
finally down East street with Jim
always in the lead.
He was rapidly getting away from
his pursuers and would no doubt have
escaped had not another of his color
attempted to start something. This
was too much, for Jim's fighting
blood was up and the other got more
than he bargained for One rush and
a couple of quick Jabs and one of the
prettiest fights you would want to
see was on. Some blood was shed be-
fore they could be parted and Jim
could be gotten under control, but he
was finally securely tied and taken
back to his solitary confineme Mt.
Much credit is due those who made
the capture, as it was done without
he aid IF a SINGLE officer. Even if
there was much hue and cry ii was a
credltable piece of work. Jim Crow,
in company with another game rooster
will appear at the Colonial Theatre
tonight in a plantation sketch by
Young and Manning, and they play
some important role too. There are
many very funny situations and laugh
able scenes.

WANTED POLITICAL INTERPRETER
Somebody Who Can Elucidate Col.
Joyce's Actions and Stand Against
Democracy,
Communicated.

Editor Captain a morning paper
a few days ago appeared an alleged
statement made to the Washington
Post by Col. Jerome Joyce, the sub
stance of which was to the effect
that the drift of sentiment In
Maryland is toward Mr.. Taft and
that indications are that he will
get this States electoral vote.
Also, that "for reasons which nobody
seems to understand, the people of
Maryland and particularly of Balti-
more, "are dissatisfied with Governor
Wilson.
Colonel Joyce is also quoted as
saying that "many party leaders"
have told him that they will vote for
Mr.. Taft before they will vote for
Governor Wilson. The effect of this
statement is, necessarily, to discour-
age those who intended to vote for
Governor Wilson and to hurt his cause
in this State. Whether such is the
intention of Colonel Joyce or not, the
effect produced, if any, will be in
jury t. tho Democratic ticket. Colo
mel Joyce was appointed to an honor
able position by Democratic Cover
nor and has had the reputation of be-
ing a regular" Democrat, always
loyal to the party to which he b.
longed. He has the reputation, also,
of public-spirited citizen, especial
ly active in advertising the advant-
ages of Maryland, and particularly of
Baltimore, and so has come to be re-
garded somewhat in the light of an
authority on public affairs in hi
State and city.
The information CLEANED from I'M
prejudiced sources, so far,is so widely
at variance with the statement in
tbs Washington Post that the alleged
utterances of the author were read
with great surprise by supporters of
Governor Wilson. Their informa-
tion was that Governor Wilson was
acceptable no only to the Democrats
of the State, but also to the indepen
dents, and to many progressive voters
without distinction of party, and that
the electoral vote of Maryland would
be given for him on the fifth day of
November. In justice to the many
WIN are WOThinR ear
nestly in Baltimore city and the coun-
ties for the success of the Democratic
party, it would be no more than fair
for Colonel Joyce to make a further
statement telling what those reasons
are, which nobody seems to under.
stand" so that perchance, some
prophet may be found who il able
to interpret the Colonel's "handwrit-
ing on the WALL" which he implies
is the death sentence of Democratic
hopes for victory at the coming
election.
1t would also be only fair for
him to specify by name those many
party leaders" who told him they
would "vJte for Mr.. Taft before they
would vote for Governor Wilson, "and
so prevent puzzled voters from recall
ing the various party leaders to mind,
and mentally asking the question as
to each one: sis it he?" "Is it hep
1t is hoped that the well-known spirit
of fairness and loyalty to principle of
Colonel Joyce will cause him to come
to the relief of his fellow Democrats,
in the matters above referred to, by
Calculating more clearly the points
made in his statement in the Wash.
ington Post.
