FRESHMAN FIRE

At eleven o'clock Monday nigh,
fire was discovered IN the second
story of the H. Freshman store on
Main street. The building being
brick with a metal roof, the fire
burned slowly, and was fnally put
cut before it reached the lower
floor, though the upper story and
roof were completely destroyed.
The stock OF goods on the first
floor was taken out, but was SO
badly handled it is worth bur little.
The second floor stock was a total
loss.
Mr.. Freshman bad insurance to
the amount Of $500 on the build
ing and $500 on the stock.
1t will be noted that both fires
seem 10 have occurred in the same
manner, being FIRST discovered on
the second floor.

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
a 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 a variety OF

Fred Leidigh who has been running the
ranch until the recent sale, had seven acres
of Sudan grass out this year. His brother,
\. 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.
I'VE find that it yields well, and believe
it is coming hay crop, except In the river
bottoms where alfalfa is grown said A H.

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.

Many upland farmers liz 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
it may, the success of the Kansas State Ag-
ricu1tural College in 1914 in obtaining
average value of $64O an acre from Sudan
grass seed sown on its experimental plots
indicates that prairie farmers will do well
investigate Sudan grass possibilities very
carefully

Plat No l seeded May 20 in rows -

and again October l. The first cutting gave
a hay yield of ,S75 pounds and the second
cutting 426 pounds, which made a season
yield of 2,3O1 pounds of hay.
Plat No. ? was seeded June 6 in rows

Another plat was seeded with wheat drill

yield of 624O pounds of hay on the first
cutting and 900 pounds the second cutting,

The season when these experiments were
made was very dry. These yields would
have been increased if normal rain had
fallen.

stems more readily than the cul-

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 Guilt
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,
