/ FACTS ABOUT SUDAN GRASS
One Remarkable Thing 10 Thst NO.
body 10 Knocking lt-Eseels As
w Drought. Resisting Crop.

There is one remarkable thing about
Sudan grass; nobody Is knocking IL.
When feterita appeared the hammers
were Immediately taken up, and that
really splendid grain crop for thin SOL
and dry years had to battle Its way 70
the front. which II did In magnlhceht
shape. Sudnn grass and feterita are
really companion crops: the one TOT
hay and the other for grain. They
are both easily more drought.resistant
than any OF the previously known
sorghums.
A conservative estimate OF SUDAN
grass is that It IL decidedly higher III
feeding value to cane hay. While at
the same time possessing the advah-
tage OF being finer and easier handled.
At least two crops can be cut In an
average year. II stools more proiih'
cally than any other crop. and conse'
quently less feed is required. It's
feeding value is superior to prairie
hay. Timothy or any OF the known
sorghums. but not equal to Alfalfa II
can be made to serve as pasture
crop. with good results. Its apiiity
to make good crop under conditions
which no other crop except possibly
feterita can Withstand should not pc
overlooked. Apparently there Is only
one caution to. be exercised IN taxing
hold OF Sudan grass. and that IS 70
look out for Johnson grass. which Is
very similar In appearance. and which
is pest except where II freezes out.

DEEP FLOWING is ESSENTIAL
Many Farmers % Not undsrstand
Necessity Of Preparing Good Seed
Ded-Packer 10 Needed.

Deep plowing is essential In all dry
farming countries. The use OF the
subsurface packer or some other i'm.
plement that will pack the furrow
slice firmly down against the subsoil
again. also is necessary. Too many
farmers do not understand the neces'
sity of preparing a perfect seed bed.
They are inclined to plow and harrow
the ground with the single purpose In
view of getting loose dirt to cover the
seed. This is mistake. for loose
dirt Is only an incident in the prepara'
ton of a seed bed and may have but
li.tle relation to moisture conservation
which Is. after all. the essential thing
in all semiarid cpuntries

3O4, 900 dead-one man for every nine
who wore the blue.
From the lips of thoughtless youth
we sometimes hear the fiippant charge
that the "old soldiers are still fighting
the old battle Of the Civil war" little
realizing what they mean to the
SCARED survivors of those epoch-mak-
ing days.
Who that marched with Sherman
to the sea- can ever forget?
Who that came back from the slip
perry slopes of Gettysburg can ever
forget the bloody tragedy which for
three long days turned its peaceful
quiet into a seething hell Of shot and
shell?
Who that witnessed the destruc-
ton by the Confederate army ITSELF
Of its last hope and stronghold. the
city of Richmond. in that memorable
April of '65. will ever forget the in
roar of an immense confiagration
sounding In their ears. while the ex-
plosion OF the gunboats shook the
doomed city to its very foundation!
Thirty city blocks swept out OF exist
ence by the spreading flames. 1000
houses destroyed. while hundreds of
hospitals and almshouse inmates were
said to have been blown into eternity.
Such is war! God forbid that our
land shall ever know another. but let
us forevermore remain one people.
loyal to one flag. and united in one
earnest effort to make this nation the
grandest ever risen on the tides OF
time.
Memories like these are fnefface-

But the honored ranks of that once
powerful army are rapidly thinning.
Day by day in ever increasing num-

New Electric Bell.

An original electric bell combination
is in use at Paris which is designed to
get rid OF all trouble caused by-&he
question of batteries. for these are
nos lodged within the apparatus itself.
The usual box bell shape is retained.
but the arrangement OF the parts Is
different in this case. All the magnet
parts are now lodged under the gong
itself. while the box being now left
free. serves to contain set OF three
dry battery cells which will last for
several years. In this way there are
no connections to be made between
the battery and bell. and the wires and
push-buttons are the only pieces
which need to be attended to. -Scien.

men who Will ride or march on that
day are survivors of a war which 20
the younger generations has become
almost ancient history. They are all
old men. though many OF them Will
not admit It.
There is this strange thing about
