Sudan Grass
By ]. R RIcKs

Sudan grass is a tall annual
grass, resembling johnson grass
in its general appearance, but is
entirely different in one respect,
and that is, il does not have the
rootstscks that make johnson
grass so troublesome to eradicate.
Ii grows well on any well drained
fertile soil. giving from three TO
four cuttings each season. which
yields as many tons anc sOme-
times more, since the first cutting
viii easily yield two tons ger sere
il on very rich soil. The hay is
quite equal to the hay of johnson
grass in feeding value, and the
yield is about the same. The ad-
vantage in growing Sudan grass
over johnson grass is that there
10 no danger OF its spreading and
becoming a pest. Il must be plant
ed each spring.
The land should be thoroughly
prepared and the seed PLANTED
Broadcast about the middle OF
April. Twenty pounds OF the seed
gives Us good stand when tie
seed bed has been properly pre-
pared. In growing the crop fof
seed, better results are had by
planting in drills 80 inches apart
and giving it an occasional cul-
rivatiOn. However. We have poor
success . s>-e =: e securing gooe
crop of seed.
The harvesting and the SAVING
Of Sudan grass for hay is abou
the same as johnson grass: tina

The great educational value and
constructive force of the corn club
contests, in addition to the marvels
they are accomplishing in increased
corn productions, are emphasized in
an interview given out by MIR. Hast
ings in connection with his announce
ment of prizes. Mr.. Hastings said:
The interest now being taken in
corn production. by the federal gov:
eminent. by state officials, by leading
organizations and individuals. is, in
my opinion. the greatest constructive
force now operative in agricultural af-
fairs in America. For too long the
tendency Of education in the rural
schools was to draw boys away from
the farm. but the corn clubs are now
combining with true agricultural edu-
cation to influence the boys to form
new ideas and new ideals OF farm life.
The corn club work Is growing in
value and importance with each sue
cessive year"

On Tunino a Piano,

Many people think it is an easy matter to tune a piano, but this is not the case. As celebrated a rdasi- clan as Hans von Bulow got into trouble in New York owing to this fallacious i9ea. He would not permit the instrument to be tuned in the 1farero0m. one Of his whims being that even short removal of a piano knocks it cut of tune. There is, Of course, a modicum of truth in the theory. Sc it was tuned upon the platform where he WAS to perform, He stood over the tuner all the time. at intervals emitting groans and strong German language. When. the task was almost completed he gave a shout and, seiZing the wrench, began doing it all over again. In three min utes he had the piano so hopelessly out of gear that it took three hours to get it right again. Herr von Bu. low had to pay dearly for this exhibi. ton of ignorance
