EXCELLENT FOR WORK STOCK
Capacity of Sudan Grass to Live Through Hard Drought Is Its
 Highest Recommendation.

Sudan grass is recommended as an excellent hay for work animals fed grain and one acre will furnish all the hay that one work horse or mule will need in l2 months. And come rain. or come drought, Sudan grass is one plant that will make more or less of a crop. Its capacity for living through a blaz- ing drought Is its very highest recon. mendation. Because of this quality 1t was brought to the United States and the recent dry years have served to call attention to its possibilities

The first cutting at the Kansas station in 1914. was made between the dates of July 5 and July l5. was of fine quail :ty and was readily eaten by stock. The straw remaining after the seed was threshed out of the later cuttings was eaten by horses with as much rel ish as shown in their consumption of any other hay. Horses. cattle and hogs were fed with this hay during the Kansas experiments.
 In Colorado it was fed to dairy cat tie, in green forage form. with excel. lent results. The milk flow was imme- diately increased.

It proved slightly laxative, an added point in its favor as forage.

HIS DE 4 I H AS SPECTACULARAS
 HIS LIFE
PERPENDICULAR DROP IN MONOPLANE ENDS THE CAREER OF LINCOLN BEACHY, SUNDAY

SAN FRANCISCO, March Is. - The spectacular career of Lincoln Beachy, one of the most daring aviat- ors, and the first American to loop the loop, ended Sunday when in fall ing a thousand feet like a bird with broken wings, he plunged from the view of the multitude of exposition visitors, into San Francisco bay.
 The battleship Oregon's boat crew and the launches of others, immedi ately put out grapling hooks. An hours work resulted in the recovery of the body strapped to the machine forty feet under the surface.
 Beachy was completing his second flight of the day at 3:45- p. m. when the accident occurred.
 He had electrified the crowd with his aerial somersaults, and sought to add an additional thrill with one of his sensational perpendicular drops.
 Structural defects in the monoplane are believed by local aviators to be for the death of Beachy
 Beachy shut off the power at an altitude of. 5000 feet and dropped head on. After a several thousand foot dive, Beachy grasped the control levers to adjust the plane for grace ful descent as in the past. The wings crumpled like a collapsed umbrella and the aeroplane hop-hopped swiftly toward the water, narrowly missed a vessel at the government docks and 
 A few splintered fragments only were seen.
 The body was recovered at o'clock.

U. s. May Protest.

WASHINGTON, March l5-It has not been decided whether the United States will make formal protest against the British retaliatory meas ures on shipping. It seems reason ably certain that an effort will be made to secure such a construction of the order as will minimize the in jury to American commerce. Wash ington officials are particularly anx- ious to learn whether formal block ade of German ports is contemplated
 Since the order does not contain the word blockade" the officials doubt the legal status of the British plan. Apparently the order effects the complete exclusion from Ameri- can commerce of all goods of German origin. American industries such as textile mills which are dependent up on German dye stuffs will be seriously affected and it is probable that the state department will direct a note of inquiry to England to secure more exact definition of the extent of the interference with American com merce.
 Officials noted that under the last paragraph way is left open for con tinuation of American trade with the neutral countries of Europe such as Sweden, Norway, Holland and Den mark, if the government of those countries apply efficient embargoes to prevent the exportation of American goods to Germany. The order does not mention the German allies, and thus there is no restriction on Ameri- can trade with Austria or Turkey via neutral countries.
