One OF the topics to be discussed
by the Texas Experiment Association
during its meeting at College Station
this month is the value OF Sudan
grass as a forage and hay crop in
Texas. Il deserves that consideration.
II is comparatively a new crop in
Texas, and. in fact. is so absolutely,
or in the sense that It Is not grown
extensively in Texas as yet. But II
not grown extensively II has been
grown in an experimental way for
several years at various points in the
state and most reports concerning the
results OF this experiment encourage
one to believe that 1t can be made a
highly important crop here. The val
ne OF such discussion as Is proposed Is
in the likelihood that IL win bring out
reports OF failure which otherwise
would get no publicity. Every sue
cess made with a new crop is certain
to be abundantly heralded in the news.
papers and farm journals, while the
failures are kept secret, possibly be
cause men who fail are not eager to
advertise their failures. II such re
ports as have been made public con
corning this luxuriant and drouth-re
sisting grass represent the common
rather than the exceptional experience
than Sudan grass offers the farmers o.
Texas an opportunity which has ONLY
to be generally seized to make Texas
an exporter instead of an importer o

DR.. Robert Blue, surgeon-general Of
the United States army, who is in the
South aiding in the fight against the
bubonic plague, says the disease is
not communicated from one person to
another. His theory of the contagion
is as follows. This disease is never
transmitted from person to- person,
but always from rat to rat or rat to
person. Rats as a usual thing have
from $50 to 200 fleas on them, and the
flea is really what carries the disease.
A flea on an infected rat will get on
a person and bite him and often the
plague follows. You can readily see
the damage 200 fleas can do which
have just left the body of rat that
died with the plague"

The doctrine of free raw material
in any government other than abso-
lutte free trade, is what the Bible
meant when it said, "the wisdom OF
fools is folly" It makes the farmer
and other producers of raw material
sell in an open market and buy in a
protected market. That's the whole
story.
