RAISE TURKEYS IN PARADISE.
Rocks County Raise Festive Birds
Drouth Didn't Hurt

Plainville. Kan, Nov. 29.-The farm
ers will raise turkeys on Paradise
Flats, in Rocks county, in years when
the crops of wheat and corn are cut
short, as was the case this year. 1t
was turkey day in Plainville, and the
farmers marketed LOO pounds. The ag-
gregate money paid for them was ST.
7O5.S5. The price per pound was IL
cents. The lowest check given for the
turkeys was 1856 and the largest
1884. This was but a small part of
the total crop of turkeys raised. az
many farmers are holding them over
for better prices. 1t is claimed this
year has been a big one for the farm
ers who raise turkeys on, Paradise
Flats. besides little feed was given them
on account of the large crop Of grass
hoppers, and poultry fattens on them.
1t is also said this days transaction
in turkeys was shipped to Denver and
dressed and then to the Chicago mar
ket for consumption.

third place in rank among the cereals
of the world. They furnish food Tor
700, 100000 people in Africa and Asia.
Although it was but twenty-eight
years ago that the federal department
of agriculture introduced Kafir corn
into this country it has become a crop
of no little Importance in the stretch
of country lying between the Missis-
sippi river and the Rocky mountains.
The acreage in Kansas Oklahoma and
Texas planted to Kafir in 1918 Is es-
timated at six million-and it Is on
the steady increase.
The future of king Kafir" is as
sured. The grain has already been
introduced in Kansas as food for
man and its value in this direction
will increase, say the experts.
1t is stated that it did not cost the
government more than five thousand
dollars to give the great plains
country this grain. The seed that
was imported from Africa was inn
proved by the government and then
put in the hands of the farmers. Sta
tistics show that from 1901 to 1912
the cash acre value of the corn crop
was 1921 as against $11.40 for kafir
corn.
That kafir has been gradually de-
teriorating since its introduction by
the government is the contention of
the wise, but this subject will be
touched upon in another article.
The grain has become popular as
forage crop mainly because OF its
drouth-resisting qualities and ten
dency to mature early. Its introduce
ton was a Godsend to the farmers OF
the western half of Kansas.
In Primitive Africa.
Down in Africa the natives for
countless generations have grown
kair. 1t cannot be said that they
have cultivated it, for their meth
DDS are primitive-they merely
scratch the soil. With rough hoes
provided with small crooked handles
they turn over the surface of the weld,
planting the grain in ridges and de-
pending upon nature to bring forth
the harvest. And because of this
practice OF loosening the upper crust
only the soil soon becomes exhausted
and once in three or four years it is
necessary to find new lands" There
Is one advantage in this practice and
that is that the fields are compare
lively free from weeds, and the grain
natures without cultivation.
Vegetation has the tendency to
mature more rapidly in Africa than
in this country, and there are parts
of the territory where there is little
rainfall. Consequently kafir, as pre-
viously mentioned. has drouth resist
ing qualities and in the fields of
Africa grows with amazing rapidly.
