FEED SORCO.

Feed Sorgo has been known to
mature seed in sixty days. but
under ordinary conditions seven
ty five to eighty days are reuuir-
ed for it to mature. Because of
its early maturity, it is a salts
factory crop for growing in. the
extreme western part of Kansas
and Eastern Colorado. in many
respects it resembles amber cane
but differs from it, in that the
stalks are not as juicy or as sweet
and that the grain is free from
the material that mai es cane
seed undesirable for feeding pur-
poses. Extracts from letters of
the Kansas Agricultural College
Manhattan. Kansas, under date
of March 4 1914.
l have a limited amount of this
seed which matured here last
year. when black cane, kafir corn
and milo failed to do so, and as
it grew every day during our hot
weather last summer, it cannot
be beaten for a drought resister.
Will sell this seed for $4O0 per
hundred while it lasts, so get

GOOD TILLAGE IN ORCHARDS
II VIII Maintain sufiieient Supply o'
Moisture and viii Make Plant

CBy c. I. LEWIS. Oregon Experiment
6tation)
Some OF the reasons for tillage In
an orchard are: To maintain sum
cient supply OF moisture and to make
available the plant food there Is In
the soil, 20 that trees can obtain thii
food: by pulverizing the soil much
greater feeding area Is presented fol
the rootlets of the trees: by pulver1x
ing this soil deeply in the spring Of
the year we also get additional root
holding area for the plants. Tillagt
also has considerable to do with the
moisture content Of the orchard soils
BY the spring plowing and narrowing
of the ground we are apt to have less
extremes of temperature. the ground
is apt to become warmer. and is placed
In such condition that the roots can
begin their activity and top growth
begin early. For this reason at times
one should not practise too early til
lage with fruits that are apt to be
caught by frosts. The stone fruiu
especially should not be given toe
early tillage.
Tillage in the spring Of the year in
creases the water.holding capacity OF
the soil. 1t places the soil In such
condition that 1t can catch the spring
rains and hold them for tree growth
Later on in the summer the frequent
shallow CIVILIZATIONS will check the
rapid evaporation OF moisture from the
soil.
Tillage promotes nitrification: II
places the available element II. such
condition that the trees can use 1t. II
