TO CULTIVATE SUDAN GRASS
Good Stirring of Soil After First Crop
10 Removed VIII Greatly Help
Plants in Starting.

tBy r. e. HARPER. Oklahoma Expert
ment Station)
Would like to know II 1t is advis-
able or necessary to cultivate after
cutting first crop Of sudan grass for
seed."-M. B.. Bliss. Okla.
Sudan grass should be cultivated as
soon as possible after the first crop of
hay Is removed. A good stirring of the
soil at this time will be great help
to the plants in making a good, strong
start toward the second crop. II the
ground has been kept clean and free
from weeds during the early part of
the growth of the first crop 1t will
not be necessary to cultivate frequent.
ly during the growth of the second
crop. Just enough cultivation to
maintain the desired soil mulch will
be needed in this case BY the time
the first crop has matured the plants
have stooled and spread out in the
row to such an extent that 1t makes
any cultivation a much less tedious
operation for the second crop than is
the case with the young plants during
the early growth of the first crop
Since the first crop is to be allowed to
stand for seed purposes the growing
period OF the second crop will be
shortened several weeks at best, and
good cultivation will help considerably
toward increasing the yield Of the sec
ond cutting.
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1915-11-05

fermentation is not likely to follow.
If crushed oats or wheat cannot be
obtained. whole oats may be used, but
they should be of good quality. AS
mice hull the oats before eating them,
it is desirable to have the poison pene-
trate the kernels A very thin starch
paste is recommended as a medium for
applying poison to the grain. Prepare
as follows:
Wet Grain Formula.
Dissolve one ounce of strychnia
sulphate in two quarts of boiling wa
ter. Dissolve two tablespoonfuls Of
laundry starch in one-hag pint of cold
water. Add the starch to tho strych-
nine solution and boil for q few min
utes until the starch is clear. A little
saccharine may be added IL desired.
but 1t Is not essential. Pour the hot
starch over one bushel OF oats In a
metal tub and stir thoroughly. Let the
grain stand overnight to absorb the
poison.
Distributing Poisoned Grain.
The poisoned grain prepared by
either of the above formulas is to be
distributed over the infested area, not
more than a teaspoonful at place,
care being taken to put it in mouse
runs and at the entrances of burrows.
Small drain tiles, II inches in dame
ter, have sometimes been used to ad-
vantage to hold poisoned grain, but
old tin cans with the edges bent near
ly together will serve the same pur-
pose.
Field mice may also be driven away
by thorough cultivation of fields and
the elimination of fence rows. In the
case OF trees, clean tillage and the re-
moval from the neighborhood Of weeds
and grass will prove an effective pre-
caution.
Finally, the farmer should remem-
Der that there are many animals, birds
and snakes around the farm which do
little or no harm, and are most useful
in keeping down the numLers of field
mice. Among these owls deserve spe-
cial notice. Mice are the chief diet
both Of the short-eared and The barn
owl. The common screech owl de-
stroys English sparrows as we'll as
mice. 1t stays close to orchards and
farm buildings and is, therefore, a
useful assistant.

WATER USED BY MANY CROPS
Alfalfa, When Once Started, Can
Withstand Almost Any Degree OF
Drought for Long Periods.

Drought resistance IN crops does not
seem to be SO much a matter OF using
a small amount OF water as of ability
to go after water in the soil or to wait
until moisture comes. This conclusion
may be drawn from Investigations be-
ing made by the United States depart
ment of agriculture in Colorado, to de-
termine the water requirements OF
different kinds of plants.
Alfalfa is generally considered a
very drougbt-resistant crop, when
once started II can withstand almost
any degree OF drought for long periods.
But to produce the same quantity of
dry matter alfalfa requires more than
twice as much water as does corn
Alfalfa requires 83l pounds Of water
for each pound of dry matter 1t pro
duces On the other hand corn, which
is not considered very drought-re-
sistant, requires only 1858 pounds of
water to produce a pound Of dry mat
ter.
All of the leguminous crops, includ-
ing peas, beans, vetches, alfalfa, sweet
clover, and other clovers. require large
amounts Of water in proportion to the
dry matter they produce. Some of the
most common weeds such as tumble
weeds, purslane and Russian thIstles.
require very small amount of water
In proportion to dry matter. The
cereal crops come between the legumes
and the weeds named. Wheat uses
513 pounds Of water for each pound
OF dry matter. and oats uses 597
pounds. Buffalo grass is one OF the
most economical of all plants in its
use OF water; 1t requires only 308
pounds of water to produce pound Of
dry matter
In the Colorado experiments II was
necessary to protect the plants from
birds, winds and hailstorms by means
of wire-covered Enclosures. The screen
reduced solar radiation to about so
per cent of the normal. Under the
conditions of the experiment the av-
erage amount of water required to
produce one pound of dry matter with
each kind Of plant was as follows:
Millet, 319 pounds; sorghum, 1922
pounds; corn, 1858 pounds; wheat. 5l3
pounds; barley, 534 pounds; buck
wheat, 57S pounds; oats, 597 pounds:
rye, 6S5 pounds; fax, 905 pounds. soy
beans, 744 pounds; sweet clover, ITO
pounds; vetches. 794 pounds; clovers,
1877 pounds, and alfalfa, S31 pounds.

DYING to Bury Them.

TREATMENT FOR HOG VERMlN
Wise to Have Dipping Tank and Use
II on All Stock, Whether They
Need IL or Not.
Lice on hogs are treated:

Lice on hogs are treated:
By getting the animal in a corner
and scrubbing him with an old broom
dipped in crude ell.
By pouring kerosene on his back
with a can (this kills the lice and
often pretty near kills the porker).
By hanging a blanket saturated With
crude oil in a gap through which the
hogs must pass, thus oiling them auto
matically.
By setting up a manufactured de.
vice which gives the animals an oiled
surface against which to rub.
By providing a nog wallow in which
a little crude oil is poured.
BY dipping them in a dipping tank
filled with preparation sold for the
purpose
You may choose to let the pigs and
the lice night 1t out. In this case. you
may be sure. the hogs will get the

A Question or Words.

A certain country innkeeper always
warned his customers that 1t was
closing time by calling out, Now, gen.

stranger who happened to stay the
night was much amused on hearing
the landlords usual formula repeated,
and drew his attention to the mistake
he was making.

you should say the time has ex-
pired, not inspired
The following night the worthy
landlord remembered his lesson, and
when closing time came he exclaimed,
Now gentlemen, it's time you all ex.
