OvERPRODUCTION IN INTENSIVE FARMING

done at any time until 1t is too late to
permit the crop to mature before frost.
The land should be plowed in the
spring for surface planting and then
allowed to lie rough until about seed
ing time when 1t should be smoothed
with a drag harrow or disk. For fur
row planting spring blowing Is not
necessary. A lister like those made
for planting corn can be used on
stubble or cotton land without pre-
yious preparation. II the farmer does
not have a lister the furrow can be
laid out with q pillow and the seed
planted with one-horse drill after the
manner of planting cotton or corn.
Planting in burrows is recommended
for western Texas or Oklahoma, and
fiat or ridge planting for all the region
east of this where the rainfall is more
abundant. When planted in rows SO
to A inches apart to pounds of
seed to an acre are sufficient. Sorghum
seed is usually cheap, but the farmer
is urged to buy only standard varieties
from reliable dealer.
When planting In rows, thorough
cultivation is as essential to the
sorghums as to corn. This method
produces larger yields and the crop is
better prepared to Withstand drought
than If broadcast or drilled. Where
the latter method is followed, how
ever, the practice Is the same as for
oats or any other small-grain crop.
Cowpeas or soy beans are also fire..
quently mixed with sorghum to i'm
prove the quality of the hay. This is
especially frequent on dairy farms.
Three parts of cowpeas or soy beans
to one of sorghum seed is the usual
proportion. From 60 to 80 pounds Of
the seed mixture is required to the
acre.
AS pasture, sorghum is safe only
after it has become fully matured;
