such condition that the train can only proceed
at predetermined reduced speed. When the
engineer opens the throttle to proceed II auto

whistle continues to sound and the reduced speed

TWO SYSTEMS OF FALL0WING
One Plan Permits Only One Crop Of
Wheat Being Grown In Two Years
Other Is for Fodder.

The necessity Of carrying over mois.
ture from one season to assist the
crop growth of another has led to the
practice Of bare-fallowing.
Two systems are followed; the first
being termed bare-falowing. in which
the land is plowed as soon as convent.
ent after the crop is harvested. and
left bare until wheat is again sown
the following season. This allows of
only one crop being grown In two
years.
Another system is that which pro.
vides for fodder crop and wheat
crop in two years After the wheat Is
harvested II is preferable to stir the
stubble as soon as possible. cheaply
and economically. The land remains
until February. when ii is plowed and
sown with rape or barley. or both In
conjunction. These are fed of by
stock until August or September. when
the land is thoroughly plowed and left
fallow until March, when It is again
plowed prior to seeding to wheat in
April
This system is satisfactory as re.
CARDS the wheat crop, but not so for
the fodder crop. which has to depend
upon the rains that may fall after the
wheat is OF and throughout its
growth Under dry conditions, to en-.
sure the fodder crop. FIVE or six
months bare.fallow should precede
sowing

ADVANTAGE OF SUDAN GRASS
Heavy Yielding summer-Growine Plant
Of Sorghum Family-Three or Four
Cuttings Yearly.

Sudan grass is heavy yielding,
summer-growing grass Of the sorghum
family. II resembles johnson grass
very much, except that 1t has not the
objectionable root stalks and hence
is not pernicious weed. according to
Prof. s. r. Morse. superintendent OF
the agricultural extension service OF
University OF Arizona College Of Ag-
riculture and State Leader, United
States department OF agriculture
However, It crosses with the johnson
grass freely. and some fear has been
expressed that the seeds resulting
from such cross might produce a
grass which would be fully as obiec.
tionable pest as Johnson grass. I'm
der irrigation. or where the water sup.
ply Is limited. sudan grass will yield
three or four cuttings during the sum-
mer. giving from three to six tons OF
dry hay per acre. However, in feed
ing value 1t is not equal to alfalfa, and
It is very probable that the amount OF
water required to produce a heavy
crop. alfalfa would not only give
better feed. but also would be benefi.
cial to the soil instead Of somewhat
detrimental as is sudan grass. For
given amount OF water you will prob.
ably get somewhat larger yield 0:
forage per acre from sudan grass, but
this is rather Offset by the superior
qualities Of alfalfa, as indicated. On
the other hand sudan grass is more
alkali and drought resistant than al
falfa. Under dry farming conditions.
where quantity OF forage produced
with a minimum amount OF moisture
is the main object sudan grass
should prove an excellent crop. As
a feed for best results 1t should be
balanced with alfalfa or cowpea hay
or cottonseed. Sudan grass must be
planted every year; II may be planted
after all danger of frost is past. using
eight or ten pounds of seed per acre.

SAVING THE SOIL MOISTURE
Time to Begin Operations 10 as Early
In Spring as Land Can Be Worked
Without Damage.

II is always difficult to be saving as
long as there Is an ample supply OF
anything. This characteristic OF hu.
man beings results in the loss OF
enough moisture every season to pro-
vide for the needs Of much greater
crops, SO far as that essential is con.
cerned.
The time 10 begin saving moisture
is as early in the spring as the soil
can be worked without doing damage
10 II. The millions OF acres OF fall.
plowed land will be found with crust
over the surface as soon as the snow
melts The way to lose moisture Is
TO permit this crust to remain on the
plowed ground until the oats are sown
and spring plowing done. This is the
first OF May in most cases, and many
times ten days or two weeks later.
The way to save moisture is to break
thus produce loose soil mulch. There
is scarcely a man who would think oil
permitting his field Of corn to remain
crusted over during the four or five
weeks when cultivation ordinarily oe'
eprs. vet there are many who permit
crust to remain on their corn ground
for almost an equal length of time be-
fore the corn Is planted.
The cornstalk and s'ubble lands
which are to be plowed in the spring
are other places where the disk can
be used with great profit as early as
the condition of the soil will permit.
Not only will the disking of these
lands save moisture which would 9TH
erwise be lost before plowing. but II
will also pulyerize the surface so that
when turned under II will form bet
ter contact with the solid soil below
the furrow slice. In order that the
moisture in the lower soil may rise
into the soil cut of by the plow. II Is
essential that the furrow Sire fit
closely upon the solid soil beneath
This Is impossible when clods and
coarse soil are turned to the bottom
OF the furrow.

presented to the American women. they
called together delegates from all the
important women's organizations in
America. and drew up the agreement to
promote peace throughout the world
This peace, of course, is based on the vote
OF the mother-half of the world. Men are
fighting against each other, and as con-
servers Of the race, we feel that we
women are needed.
When men are lighting brother against
brother, no bond of kinship can stay
them. The universal motherhood OF
women is the one lasting bond, and on
that we build our determination TO sue
ceed. We are the natural custodians OF
tho race, and for the sake or humanity,
insist on our right to representation in
the governments OF nations. Our hands
must be free TO build up a surer and safer
structure OF society, The failure OF male
statecraft IN Europe Is complete. The
structure OF the new world must be built
on the foundation OF that peace which
shall supervene when the accumulated
resources of civilization have been eaten
up by the war and the lifeblood of
humanity almost drained away"

deep and lasting impression of a woman
who is very. very much in earnest, and
is capable of bringing to a successful eli
max the great work which she is doing
