Sudan Grass Is A
Boon To Farmer
Thorough Test Made, Of New Hay
Crop In Kansas; Brings Large
Returns To Dry Farmers.
(Victor H. SchoHelmeyer in South

(Victor H. Schohelmeyer IN South
west Trail.)
Sudan grass in a competitive
test at Kansas Agricultural College
Manhattan, during 1914 yielded
seven and one half tons of hay an
acre, compared with three tons Of
millet, Att tons of kahr, s.75 tons
of cowpeas and s.65 tons OF soy
beans. The rainfall was average
and in central Kansas is about thir-
ty-one inches year. Three crops
OF Sudan grass we're cut, all Of
nearly equal feeding value. The
FIRST crop in bulk almost doubled
any of the two succeeding Crops.
There were about 900 acres OF
Sudan grass in Kansas this year
and not a failure has been report
ed, although the crop was grown
under a wide variety of soil and
climatic conditions. Even on chal-
Nv, alkaline clay OF southwestern
Kansas the crop gave surprising
results. yielding two tons an acre
when kafr, ieterita and milo liter
ally blew away during the July
drouth. Nearly all the Sudan
grass in Kansas as elsewhere, this
year was grown for seed purposes,
since the seed is held at 81 a
pound. For this reason it is i'm
possible to arrive At complete Fl
cures as to yield Of hay on many
farms, but under the most uniav-
orable conditions the crop has dem
onstrated tha, it has no equal for
hay production on upland in Kan
tas and other states. Experiments
conducted at Manhattan under Di-
rector w. M. Jardine proved con
clusively that Sudan grass is
adapted to almost every soil and
that it is the greatest hay crop ev-
tr introduced into the semi-arid
regions. Sudan grass will perma-
nently replace the millets on Kan
sas uplands.
Work with Sudan grass at Kan
sas Agricultural College in 1914
was ID charge of Prof. Ralph M.
Kenney. The initial planting on
4 small scale, was in 1913 and was
for observation only. The 1914
stand was planted with government
seed, some coming from Nebraska.
Six fields we're seeded. The ground
was plowed six inches deep in fall
and double disked and narrowed in
April. Seed was planted with a

There is not the least doubt that
the salute will be fired. Admiral
MAYO has been informed that the
