KAFFIR AS A GRAIN CROP
The U. S. Department Of Agriculture
Gives Latest information About
Production of this Crop.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 11.-With a
view to assisting farmers in the dry
sections to raise kafir as a feed grain
and bundle feed and also as a food
for man, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has issued nine.
teen-page illustrated bulletin in which
complete details as to the successful
production of this crop are given.
According to this bulletin (No. 552)
there are now five fairly well marked
varieties of kaffir under cultivation.
These different kinds can be distin.
guished by the following simple key,
the glume being the hull or husk Of
the seed:
Seed white, glumes white, white
kafir.
Seeds white. glumes black, stalks .
to s feet tall, Blackhull kafir.
Seeds white, glumes black. stalks 3
to Az feet tall, Dwarf Blackhull kafir.
Seeds pink, glumes white, Pink ka-
fir.
Seeds red, glumes black, Red kafir.
OF these varieties the white kafir
has largely been replaced by the
Blackhull kafir which is the most
widely grown owing to its satisfactory
habits and high grain yields although
it is not as early as the White kafir.
The Blackhul kafir requires from 115
to 140 days to mature, depending on
the locality and seasonal conditions. 1t
is not to be confused with the similar
plant of little value, sold under the
names of african millett." and
branching dhoura." The bulletin also
deals with the newly developed form
of the Blackhull known as the Dwarf
Blackhull kafir. The Dwarf Blackhull
kafir natures from five to ten days
earlier than the standard Blackhull
strains and is much smaller in sta
ture. The earliness and the dwarf
stature permit the maturing of the
crop of seed with the use of less wa,
ter than would otherwise be necessary.
Earliness also permits maturing un-
der conditions of short season which
are found in the high plains, where
the first fall frosts sometimes occur in
the last days of August.
OF the Pink kafirs, two or three
have been introduced as forage varie-
ties, but none has shown special value
as grain producer. Red kafir has
largely been replaced by the Blackhull
kafir in popularity. All of these va
rieties are so similar in habit that
they do not require different cultural
treatment Differences in treatment
are largely determined by the needs
of different sections, the conditions in
different seasons, and the nature OF
different soils.

west, the listing should be done east
and west where possible. The winter
snowfall is held to large extent In
the lister burrows. When the soil be-
gins to drift under the influence of the
spring winds the only effect is to
move the soil from the ridges into the
adjacent burrows. Preparing the land
for planting in the spring is done in
two ways:
/. My relisting, which, s done by
breaking the ridges with the lister and
thus partially filling the adjacent fur
rows: or (2l by working down the lis
ter ridges with the disk harrow. In
the first case the crop will be planted
with the lister planter in the new fur
rows opened, while in the second i
will be surface-planted.

BY RALPH u. YONKER.

There were two forks In the pugil
] istic road that Tommy Burns. forrnel
EDetrolier, has travelled. AT each o.
them Burns made decision which
robbed himself and Detroit OF the
privilege of claiming the worlds
heavyweight boxing crown or at least
few prongs OF it, Again he is at a
fork In the road; he may re-enter the
ring.
The first work In the pugilistic
route Burns travelled came when he
and his wife and his friend, Billy Nc
Intosh, sat In parlor at the Griswold
house here and had long confer
ence as to meeting Jack Johnson. who
was clamoring for bout with the
only recognized champion since JET
fries had given up the title.
Mrs. Burns urged her husband to
promise never to fight the big Negro.
She enlisted Mcintosh In her behalf.
Together they pleaded with Tommy
to leave the black alone. 1t Is relat-
ed that he had been persuaded to do
so, when the glitter OF the gold OFFER
ed for battle with Johnson blinded
him to the wishes of his wife and
friends and he accepted the Negro's
defy
Now, whether 1t be true or false that
Tommy could have licked the Negro
at Sydney, Dec. 26, 1908, If the police
had allowed the battle to go more
than the IA rounds: whether 1t be true
or false that Tommy Burns could
stand more punishment and rally bet
ter at the end of battle than any
ether man OF his time; whether II be
true or false that he had the big fel-
low going when the authorities inter
fered with the battle-all OF which is
averred-it Is true that that fight put
him out OF active participation In the
ring as a contestant for title honors.
He had chosen the wrong prong of
that fateful fork.
Again, two years later, In differ.
ent hemisphere, he came to another
fork In the pugiliHtic highway.
1t was at Calgary in the spring o.
1911 that he caught sight of Luther
McCarty, then just above the mere

A minister accompanied a reporter

The chief criticism I would make

optimistic, In spite OF the dullness In
the trading there, and prices in gen

Here the market was dull at the

vance. This movement was short
lived. however, and before the end oil
the first hour the whole market re-
acted sharply, so that under the ir-
fluence of heavy selling many of the
active stocks declined from " to
points below yesterday.
On the decline there were rather
heavy offerings of such stocks as
Union Pacific, Reading, Amalgamated
Copper and United States Steel.
There was relatively little support on
the decline, but around delivery hour
the market improved and portion OF
the early losses was recovered. The
ally. carried several issues near the
closing quotations of yesterday, but
