GARDEN FOR THE DRY FARM
Shallow Flowing Causes Plants to
Wllt-Early Irrigation Encour-
ages Surface Roofing.

The best way to fix the garden is to
plow In bands about five or six feet
wide and plaat the rows of stuff in
the dead burrows. This gives the
rows all the drainage from five or six
feet Of space. Spread old black corral
art or dust from the chicken houses
In the dead burrows, and then plow
up and down where the row is to be
until you have good deep seed bed.
Your plants wilted badly last year
the plowing was too shallow.
If you water by hand dom do it
until you have to. Early watering
encourages surface roofing and this
also causes them to wilt as soon as

SUDAN GRASS IN DRY SEASON
Results Given of Tests Made at Dodoe
City Experiment Station-Rain-
fall Was Below Normal.

Several tests we're run on sudan
grass at the Dodge City experiment
station last year by F. J. Turner, the
superintendent. Plat No. was seeded
May 20 in rows 80 inches apart. II
was cut for hay July 30 and again
October l. The first cutting gave q
hay yield Of 1,S75 pounds and the sec.
ond cutting 426 pounds, which made a
season yield Of 2,301 pounds of hay.
Plat No. was seeded June 6 In
rows % inches apart. and it was cut
for seed August IA. The yield was 252
pounds Of seed an acre, and the aver.
age height was 6S inches. Plat No. 8
was seeded at the same time, with
rows A inches apart. It also was cut
for seed August IA; the average yield
was 1876 pounds, and the average
height was. 70 inches.
Another plat was seeded with a
wheat drill at the rate of % pounds
an acre. 1t gave yield Of 6.240
pounds of hay on the first cutting and
300 pounds the second cutting. or a
season return of 7.140 pounds an acre.
The season at Dodge City was very
dry last year. These yields would have
been increased II normal amount of
rain had fallen.

MT and Mrs. William Spencer, Jr, are visiting the parents of MT. Spencer in Gallion and are being extensively enter tained The Selma Times notes the fol- lowing:
 ''The quaint old home of MT. and Mrs William M. Spencer at Gallion was the scene of a large and brilliant gathering on Thursday evening when they entertained in honor of MT. and Mrs. Wiiam M. Spen- cer, Jr., whose marriage was a social event of the month in Birmingham
 The spacious lawn in front of the Spencer home presented a picture of fairy like beauty with numbers of Japanese lanterns outlining the walks and drive ways.
 "The beautiful old drawing room was decorated for the occasion with a wealth of old fashioned flowers in plan of pink and green. Hanging baskets of pink crepa myrtle and ferns formed an artistic dec- orative effect which was further empha- sized by the trailing green smilax which covered the walls.
 Standing with Mir and Mrs. Spencer were MT. and Mrs. William M. Spencer, Jr., the daughter of the house. Miss Sue Steele Spencer, and MT. Steele Spencer
 Mrs. Spencer was handsome in silver gray crepe de chine. Mrs. William Spen- cer, Jr wore a stunning creation of white chiffon trimmed with bands of iridescent pearls. Miss Sue Steele Spencer wore a dainty frock of white tule with a grdle of apple green silk.
 '1n the dining room the table was covered with a lace cloth over white satin, and had as its centerpiece hand some eperne which Is an heirloom in the Spencer family. It was filled with Shasta daisies.
