Sudan Grass

A previous News Note article on
Sudan Grass has aroused so much
letter inquiry that it is thought that
further explanation in regard to the
crop will be helpful.
Sudan Grass belongs to the sorghum
family of plants. 1t is finer stemmed
than cane and natures in a shorter
season. Like all sorghum, however
it is distinctly a warm weather plant.
There are very few localities where it
will do well sat attitudes higher than
5000 feet. In some favored locations,
it can be grown somewhat higher than
that. 1t is generally adapted to the
Colorado plains conditions as a dry
land annual hay crop.
Il cannot be pastured, but makes a
very rapid growth when warmth and
moisture conditions are proper. 1t can
be expected to yield as much as a ton
per acre on practically all of the dry
lands worth cultivating, and in fair
ly favorable seasons may go as high
as four tons per acre.
Sudan Grass is a good producer and
will harvest seed at the rate of 300
up to as high as 1000 pounds per
acre under the very best conditions.
Under ordinary dr. land conditions
seed yields of 800 to 1000 pounds per
acre are not unusual.
On the dry lands, this crop should
be planted in rows and cultivated. 1t
is not especially adapted for irrigated
conditions, although it will make a
heavy growth as an annual hay crop
if il is desired to use it for such pur-
poses. In the Arkansas Valley, the
season is long enough and hot enough
to make two crops most years under
irrigation Under dry land conditions,
one crop is all that can be expected
except in unusually wet seasons.
Where climatic conditions are warm
enough, Sudan Grass is the most
promising annual hay crop yet tried.
II will not do well in the higher alti-
tudes where the nights are cool, the
seasons short and the days often
cool.
When seeded in rows, or pounds
per acre is amply sufficient. The rows
should be put from 3 to 3la feet apart
in order to permit of cultivation.
Seeded broadcast, 10 to Is pounds is
sufficient under dry land conditions.

ALLIES CONTRACTS POINT

The allies are preparing for
twenty-five more months of war.
Contracts for munitions and sup
plies now being placed in the Unit
ed states provide for deliveries at
stated intervals through the year
1917. Credits established at Amer
ican banks for the fulfillment of
these contracts are subject to pay
ments through the same period,
and manufacturers who are bid
ding are making their plans ac-
cordingly.
Most of the big concerns have
accounted for their capacity dur
ing the next two years, and smaller
establishments are participating
in the orders. A combination OF
machine shops in the Middle West
is being effected, it was said yes
terday, for the purpose of turning
out shrapnel in bulk. The pro-,
moters of this combination have
about closed contracts involving
approximately s5O,OOO,OOO, deliver
ies to be made through next year
and the year following.

Special to The Neps. ~ go
jackson, Miss, Oct. 15.-- Horace
Perry jointly indicted with Jim Har-
rison and charged with the murder of
Mrs. Ella Coker, of Hattiesburg, a
.one-armed woman, in Perry's room in
a South State street building several
months ago, by beating her to death,
has sued out writ of habeas corpus,
through his attorneys, Hamilton &
Hamilton and Potter, Graves & Hal
lum, and 1t will come up for hear
ing at 1890 o'clock tomorrow after
noon, before Judge Potter in the cir
cult court here.
Perry has been in Jail ever since the
dead body of Mrs. Coker was found
by Chief of Police Sam Nunnery and
other officers when they investigated
reports that the screams of woman
had been heard repeatedly coming
from the direction of Perry's room.
When the chief and several officers
went to the room they found Perry
in the act of1taking a drink, and the
nude body of the dead woman was on
bed, partly hanging over the edge
of the bedstead.
Perry claims that the woman went
to his room Of her own accord, anil
while under the influence of drugs
flung herself about the room, and self
inflicted the terrible bruises that COW
cred her entire body, from head to
foot.
Harrison, who is alleged to have Wis
tied the room several times. is out on
la $4,000 bond. Because of the mental
condition of Perry when he was in
dicted he did not apply for bail at
that time. The indictments were re-
turned by the grand jury, which was
in session when the womans body
was found.
