Only a 800 hitter
Only a swatter of the splitter,
But he got the can,
They kept a .250 man
Who wasn't labeled a gutter.
We see by the papers where the
Detroit team has reported at Mobile.
Cobb is now on the job.
David L. Fultz, head of the players
fraternity has a new role He now
is a dove of peace and is fitting to
and fro trying TO induce the warning
leagues to round UP at the same bar.
Says peace is needed or baseball
will go to the bow vows. We have
been of the same opinion for some
time.
Because a team can beat the Ha-
vana Reds it's no sign it can win a
pennant.
We fail to see what Havana ever
did TO this country that would make
every team want to jump on their
representatives.
Perhaps it's due to the managers
who like TO see reports of victories

Kind OF keeps up the average for the

Fred Leidigh, who has been running the
ranch until the recent sale, had seven acres
of Sudan grass out this year. His brother,
A. H. Leidigh, who is connected with the
agricultural experiment station of the gov
eminent at College Station, Texas, was here
a short time ago, investigating the result of
the Sudan grass growth.
1--WE find that it yields we'll, and believe
it is coming hay crop, except in the river
bottoms where alfalfa is grown" said A. H.
Leidigh. "The crop is recommended as
substitute for millet and sorghum hay"
There were only about 200 acres of the
new crop in Kansas this year, most of which
were at the various state and government
experiment stations.
"The yield of hay will vary considerable
with the amount of moisture available dur
ing the season." said Mr.. Leidigh -Four
cuttings are frequently obtained, which aver
age a ton per cutting. After the first cut
ting about thirty days are necessary, under
favorable conditions for the second crop.
About ten bushels per acre is an average
seed yield. The seed weighs about thirty
two pounds per bushel.
Sudan is thought to be the wild, original
form of the cultivated sorghums. 1t is a
tall annual grass which, under average con-

inches apart. 1t was cut for hay July &c.
and again October L. The first cutting gave
hay yield of 1875 pounds and the second
cutting 426 pounds, which made a season
yield of 2,301 pounds of hay.
Plat No. was seeded June in rows
p inches apart, and it was cut for seed
August IA. The yield was 252 pounds of
seed an acre. and the average height was
68 inches. Plat No. 3 was seeded at the
same time, with rows "A inches apart. 1t
also was cut for seed August IA the average
yield was 335 pounds, and the average
height was 20 inches.
Another plat was seeded with wheat drill
at the rate of % pounds an acre. 1t gave a
yield of 624O pounds of hay on the first
cutting and 900 pounds the second cutting,
or season return of 7,14O pounds an acre
The season when these experiments were
made was very dry. These yields would
have been increased if normal rain had
fallen

Charles F. Cassel, superintendent of the
Tribune sub-station. The Tribune station
is located in Greeley county, close to the
western side of the state.

fibre that the Ohio experiments have shown
it to have practically twice the acre feeding
value of timothy.
In Kansas Sudan has been grown so far
in SO small way that its advantages are
not generally known, but it is more popular
in Oklahoma because of the success that has
attended Texas demonstrations. However,
Sudan grass has been successfully grown
wherever tried in either Kansas or Okla
homa under practical conditions, and it is
being highly recommended as hay crop
by those who have made a study of its adapt
ability to conditions in Kansas and Okla
homa
A Coming Hay Crop.
One of the very few fields of Sudan grass
in Kansas in 1914, outside of the various
experiment stations, was in Reno county,
on the T. F. Leidigh ranch, northwest of
Hutchinson.

ditons, reaches a height of five to ten feet
The stems are small and leafy. 1t is readily
cured into excellent hay. In general APP
pearance it is very similar to Johnson grass
but is entirely distinct from it. Since it
lacks the underground rootstock, it produces
greater top growth than Johnson grass.
1t is an annual plant and must be seeded
each season, as is the case with millet and
sorghums.
Sudan was first introduced into the
United States in 1909 by the United States
Department of Agriculture. 1t has been
tested widely since its introduction and has
given exceptionally good yields of hay at all
these places.
"These localities represent variety of
both soil and climate and the results OBJ
tanned indicate that Sudan grass has a very
wide range of adaptability. 1t may be cut
for hay one or more times during the sea-

Many upland farmers in Western Kansas
and Oklahoma are watching Sudan grass
experiments with great interest, hoping that
this new crop, introduced in the United
States only six years ago by the United
States Department of Agriculture, may
mean to them what alfalfa now means to
their neighbors in the bottoms. Enthusi-
asts believe, because of the great acreage
on which Sudan may be grown success
fully and where it is not practical to sow
alfalfa, that it may do more for the livestock
industry than alfalfa has done. Be this as
it may, the success of the Kansas State Ag
ricultura College in 1914 in obtaining an
average value of $640 an acre from Sudan
grass seed sown on its experimental plots
indicates that prairie farmers will do well
TO investigate Sudan grass possibilities very
carefully.
Sudan has been grown successfully in an

son, depending upon rainfall. The
plant RECEIVERS quickly after be-
ing harvested and puts out new
stems more readily than the cul-
tivated sorghums. 1t is a valu
able hay crop in both the humid
and semi-arid regions. West and
south of the timothy belt it fills
the long-felt lack of that crop.
Sudan grass may be planted in
cultivated rows, in close drills, or
broadcast. When the supply Of
seed is limited, it is recommended
that the crop be planted in cult
waited rows, 80 to SO inches apart.
If planted in this manner from
two to three pounds Of seed per
acre will be required; otherwise
it is planted with a grain drill,
using 10 to II pounds of seed to
the acre."
Results of Some Tests.
Several tests were made with
Sudan grass at the Dodge City
experiment station in 1914 by F.
I. Turner. the Superintendent.

Sudan has been grown SUGGEST

demonstrated that it can be grown

Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma and Kan

Experiment Station the following

the points in favor of Sudan:
