Feterita.

So much has been said of
this new dry-farming plant as Il
forage crop and grain producer
that we believe the following
from The Missouri Valley Farm
er will be of general interest to
our readers:
The new drouth resistant
grain sorghum feterita made a
great dry weather record III
Oklahoma This year. Itmatures
30 days earlier than katir, 10
days earlier than milo, and as IA
grain and forage crop. is consid'
cred moro then the equal of milo
and close second to kafir, which
it surpasses in its ability to
stand grief. the crop was intro
duced a few years ago in the
Southwest from the Sudan, from
the region of Khartum in Egypt
by the federal department OF
agriculture.
One Oklahoma reader of the
Valley Farmer planted two and
one half acres oil Feterita June
IL of IT,; year on land that had
been plowed and e. Die disked'
The ground was too dry to sproul
the seed. little rain fell June
II. About half Il stand of feter-
ita came up and made a crop on
one half inches of rain which
fell afterward in several light
showers.
Another Oklahoma subscriber
writes" / listed three acres OF
feterita May 6. on land that was
dry, hard and weedy. My katir
was listed April 10 on ground
that was fall piowed and double
disked. Ny corr ;lad been plant
ed earlier ON land prepared the
same way but neither made any
grain. The feterita (Angust 2o)
has had ripe heads ON it several
( weeks. It.made IL crop on one
cultivation, and one inch of rain
after it was planted. The gov
|ernment's agency farmer says
the poorest feterita around here
will make so bushels of grain to
the acre this season.
The kernel is softer than the
lsrfir kernel and larger. but the
head is smaller than the kafir
head and little shorter also.
The fodder is sweeter like sor-
! ghum, and stock is fond of it,
The milk cows do especially
we'll on It. All stock likes the
grain and thrive on it.
Those who desire to try an a
ere or two of feterita will prob
ably be able to get the seed from
some OF the southwestern seed
houses during the coming win
orert spring.

 My horse was hungry, and wanted to get back to the ranch. I was hun gry too, but dared not go. had left my husband lying drunk on the kit chen floor, and when he woke up it would be worse than that.
 For miles I had followed the edge of the bench lands, searching for the place, for the right place. some point where the rocks went sheer, twelve hundred feet into the river. There must be nothing to break the fall. no risk of being alive, of being taken back there, of seeing him again. But the edge was never sheer. and per hsps, after all, the place by the Soda Spring vas best There the trail from the ranch goes at sharp turn, over the edge of the cliffs and down to the ferry. Beyond there are three great pines on a headland, and the cliff is sheer for at least five hundred feet. That should be far enough.
 I let my horse have a drink at the spring. then we went slowly on over the soundless carpet of pine needles. 1 would leave my horse at the pines.

It was after I'd found the things of happy solitude. I'd gone to wors then for the Bar Y outfit, breaking the Lightning colts. We was out c few weeks from home, taking an out fit of ponies as far as the Mesa Abaho and one night camped at the very rim rock of the Grand Canyon. The Ma vajo Indians was peevish, the camI dry, grass scant, herd in a raffst mood, and night come sudden.
 I'd just relieved a man to get hif supper, and rode herd wide alert. scented the camp smoke, saw the spark of fire glow on the boys at rest and heard their peaceful talk hushec in the big night. They seemed suct trffiin' critters full of fuss since dawn SO small as insects at the edge O. nothin', while for miles beneath us that old, old wolfy Colorado River was playing the Grand Canyon like a i'd dler. But the river in the canyor seemed no more than tricBle in z crack, hushed by the night, while over head the mighty blazing stars-point swing, and drive, rode herd on the milky way.

 That was my great lesson, more gain to me than peace and wealth of mind, for I was humbled 10 the dust of earth, below that dust of stars. So a very humble thing, not worth pray ing for, at least could be master of myself. I rode no more for wages, but cut out my ponies from the Lightning herd, mounted my stud horse William, told the boys goodby at MontecelIo, and then rode slowly north into the British possessions.

Then the Big Spirit shows him a stick, or a stone, or any sort of trffiin' common thing, which is to be his medicine, his wampum the charm which guards him, hunt ing, or in war.
