NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 15.-Ten-

A democratic legislature goes into
office with Governor Rye, and for the

democratic legislative program. Ii

GRASS
ACRE YIELD
IS INCREASED

An increase of more than ton to
the acre is shown in the 1914 pro-
duction of Sudan grass at the gov
ernment's experiment farm at San
Antonio. Figures on the last years
crop have just been issued by Su-
perintendent S. H. Hastings, and,
compared with previous years, it
shows the crop to be the greatest on
record.
Sudan grass is a new forage crop
in southwest Texas, and it has been
the subject of much interest among
feeders and grain men. The first
Sudan grass seed to be brought to
southwest Texas was received at the
San Antonio experiment farm in
1911. The crop averaged more than
six and one-half tons to the acre,
and much interest was displayed
throughout the country. Farmers
asked for the seed and small guam
titles were distributed by the gov
errment.
1t was early appreciated that this
grass was well adapted to this sec-
tion and the government experiment
experts announced that it has found
the grass the most promising of any
they had had experience with. 1t
has been tested each year, and the
following yields have been obtained
during the last four years: 1911,
&c tons to the acre; 1912, 81 tons to
the acre; 1913, SO tons to the
acre, and 1914, II tons to the acre.
The average production of Sudan
grass for the four years was 60
tons per acre.
The 1914 crop of Sudan grass was
cashed in by the farmers on the
market at an average price of $40

BELGIUM NEEDS
CONTINUED HELP
UNTIL SUMMER

That the work of war relief must
continue through the winter and until
next summer is the opinion ventured
in Food for Belgium" the official or
gan of the Commission for Relief in
Belgium, II Broadway, New York.
This statement is based on information
which has been collected regarding
the harvest and other food conditions
in Europe.
From now on the work of Belgian
relief in America" says the leading
editorial in current issue of the Bull
letin, will settle down to that second
stage of effort wherein the first en-
thusiasm has worn off, and the hard

grind begins. In that stage the sheep
are separated from the goats; the peo-
pie with real fortitude, perseverance
and love of the kind continue strong
to the end; the others drop away.
For it is no good-no good at all
to keep these people alive until March
first, say, if they are to starve after
March first. If we do that the noble
effort is wasted. We merely postpone
a tragedy in order that it may become
more deeply tragic when the crisis
comes. If we are to save the stricken
little sister of the world we must per-
severe to the end.

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. Ex-Governor
John NJ. Slaton paid beautiful tribute
yesterday to the memory of Sam P. In

he utilized those principles for the
benefit and advancement of his people
and his state.
while his gifts were generous and
while he was foremost in subscribing
to worthy purposes, his contributions
in sympathy and advice were worth
more than his money.

per ton. The gross returns to the
farmers exceed those of other forage
crops grown in this vicinity. Speak
ing of the last years experiments
with Sudan grass by the government,
Mr.. Hastings said
Characteristic of Sudan Grass.
"In the matter of habit, Sudan
grass has many advantages over
sweet sorghum and Johnson grass,
being finer in growth and more leafy
than the former and without the OBJ
jectionable rootstocks of the latter. 1t
is easily cured and easy handled as
hay and is very drouth-resitant In
the matter of yield it will undoubtedly
outclass Johnson grass, but will prob
ably not equal sorghum except posi-
bly,, during very dry years.
THE farmer need not fear that it
will become a pest, as it is distinct
ly an annual and is entirely free from
underground rootstocks. In this sec
ton at least three cuttings can be OBJ
tanned each season and the first cut
ting can be made from seventy to sew
enty-five days from planning time. 1t
is thus earlier than any of the sweet
sorghums.
The Feeding Value.
There is no question, but that Su-
dan grass is very palatable and rel
ished by stock. Numerous analysis C.
the grass have shown it to be about
the same chemical composition as
Johnson grass and Timothy hay.
at can be planted in rows and Gull
tivated or sown broadcast with a grain
drill. The latter method is probably
the best, although it can be planted
in rows and cultivated, and the pres
ent rather high prices of seed will
probably cause many farmers to plant
the crop in this manner. If planted in
rows about three feet apart, five or
six pounds of seed per acre is sufi-
cient. If sown broadcast, it is advis-
able to plant from eighteen to twent2
pounds of seed.
Profit to the Farmer.
"s;udal grass is destined to b of
great value to the Texas farmer,
especially in this section or the
state ana westward, for as far as Is
known this is the only grass, With
tie exception of Johnson grass, we'll
adapted to these conditions.
Its feeding value is relatives y
high and there is no question put
that it is very ought-resistant and
it is the first grass crop yet found that
will yield under irrigation approx

branches of organized trades are
watching the outcome of the fnnova-
aion and will follow suit when it is
proven a success.
A great central labor bank is more
than a mere possibility today. Union
men believe that the time has come
when they should control their own
financial resources and place them
where they would bring benefit to
workmen. Cooperation in creating
better working conditions and secur-
ing better wages has led to the newt
able consideration of cooperation in
productive industry.

Bacteria in Coal.

Mr.. c, Potter has recently shown
before the Royal society in London
that in certain conditions OF exposure
to the air charcoal, coal, peat and 9th
er amorphous forms of carbon under
go a slow process of oxidation pro
duCed by bacteria. 1t is suggested that
this fact may account for the deteri-
Grafton of stored coal, its gradual loss
of weight, and its occasional sponta-
neous heating in ships bunkers. If the
bacteria are not the sole cause of these
things they may induce them, chemical
oxidation accompanying and continu-
ing that begun by the organic agents.
The carbonization Of vegetable Goals,
says a French writer. is due to the in
tervention OF microbes at the begin
ming Of their fossilization. When the
coal reaches the air again, other bac-
terra take up the work of fermentation
that was interrupted millions of years
ago.-Youth's Companion.
