A GIFT From the Suduu

Some five years ago--to be exact in
1909 the Office of Fargo Crop investi-
cations secured One-half pound of the
seed of a central African grass from
Khartum. 1t was known in the Sudan
by the name of garawi, but when brot
to America it became known as Sudan.
from the place of its origin.
The grass is an annual of the Sor-
ghum family, and grows from two 70
six feet in heighth, according to the
way it is planted. Being a native of
the tropics it naturally prefers a warm
climate, but like the millets it seems
adaptable to colder climates with short
seasons. 1t has been grown success
fully as far north as Narth Dakota
/ let, but in the southwest where the
season is long and especially under
irrigation it yields several cuttings of
fodder in amounts from two to six
tons per acre.
DrOuth Resistance
No crop is drouth resistant. Some
plants have the ability to lie dormant
during deficiency of mosture-they
simply curl up their leaves to reduce
Transportation and wait for moisture
| This is true of the cane family, and
in this respect they are more "drouth
resistant" than corn Comparing Su-
dan grass with millet Mr. Vinall of
the U. S. agronomy department says,
Like other sorghums it will stand
semidormant through a period of
drouth and if rain comes before the
end of the growing season it will i'm
mediately renew it's growth
A field should be prepared as for
corn and the seed should not be sown
urtil the seed bed is thoroughly warm
ed. A cool seed bed delays germina-
ticn and growth and time is lost by
early sowing.
In the humid regions the seed should
be sown with an ordinary grain drill
and from 16 to 20 pounds of clean
seed per acre is ample, In the semi
arid districts it should be planted in
rows and given chance to stool. 1t
should becultivated for the purpose of
conserving the moisture and keep
down weeds between the rows. From
two to six pounds per acre is sufficient
when planted in rows, the amount de-
pending on the distance between the
rows. In sowing in rows an ordinary
grain drill can be used, all holes being
plugged except those used to plant the
rows.
Sudan-grass and Legume Mixtures
The suitability of Sudan grass for
growing in mixtures with cowpeas, soy
beans and other legumes at once ap-
parent, for several reasons. Sudan
grass grows strictly erect, with a
stem stiff enough to support the vines
characteristic of most legumes, and it
thus makes the harvesting easier by
keeping the legumes Off the ground. 1t
also allows them to cure more quickly
Wy preventing Tie leaves lTOIIl mating.
1t is low in proteinwhich is prominent
in legumes, and thus a well balanced
mixture is produced The yields al
though they are not always as great
as that of Sudan grass alone, are so
large that little forage is lost by the
inter-mixture of legumes, and the
feeding value of the hay is consider
ably enhanced.
The yields obtained from such mix
ture in 1913 varied from l to 31s tons
per acre. The best showing was made
at the Maryland experiment station,
where the yields averaged about three
and one-fourth tons of cured hay per
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1915-02-25
Feeding Value

That Sudan grass is palatable has
been demonstrated on numerous oc-
casions, but so far no feeding expert
ments have been carried out to deter
mine its digcstibility. 1t has been re-
ported by farmers. however, that cat
tie have done we'll when fed on the
hay. Numerous analyses of the grass
have shown it to be about the same in
chemical composition as johnson grass
and timothy hay. The percentage of
protein decreases form the heading per
iod until the seed is ripe, but the value
of the grass for hay is no doubt as
great about blo5soming time as at any
previous stage. This comes from the
increase in yield as well as the I'M
provement in digestibility Nearly all
immature forage is inclined to be lax
ative and probably does not remain
in the digestive tract sufficiently long
to permit the complete assimilation of
the food elements.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1915-02-25
Value in Irrigated Sections.

In many of the irrigated sections of
the west. where alfalfa is the principal
crop and dairying the chief industry of
the people, alfalfa has been made the
constant and the almost complete diet
of the cows. The continuous use of
this high protein hay has caused di-
gestive troubles and this arrangement
of the digestive functions seems to
disappear promptly when the feed is
changed. In such Sections south of
Oregon and Wyoming, Sudan grass
would make an excellent crop to grow
for mixing with the alfalfa. Yields of
cured hay obtained under irrigation
the past year in California and Ari-
zona have been equal and in some cas-
es superior to those from alfalfa At
Chico, Cal, Sudan grass when irriga-
ted gave a yield of 9S tons cured hay
per acre against a yield of S.3 tons of
alfalfa hay; at Bard, California, in the
extreme southern END of the state,
Sudan grass on favorable soil gave a
yield of eight tons of hay per acre
against yield of 10 tons of alfalfa.
The yield of eight tons at this place
was made Notwithstanding the fact
that the grass was planted almost a
month later than it should have been
At Phoenix, Ariz.. the yield of Sudan
grass was rs tons per acre, as compar
ed with a yield of 9S tons of alfalfa,
and at Owens, AriZ., it made Weld of
4.5 tons per acre with only one irri-
cation during the season.
These unusual yields of hay from an
| annual crop which by it's nature can
be made to fit any rotation will no
doubt mean much to the dairying in
dustry industry of the Southwest.
The percentage of moisture is apt
| to be under conditions similar to those
Of the Sudan, but there appears no rea
son why it cannot be coaxed north and
| become profitable forage or seed
crop in Montana, Washington and e.
ventually in Saskatchewan and Alber-
| ia. 1t may take few years to acclima
tize the seed, but its range possibly
will be as great eventually as that of
millet.

sinia, the mixture Of Sudan grass and
cowpeas gave = yield Of l.s toas of

Mow u marvest tAe Crsp
The most common way Of harvesting
the hay crop Is with the mower 1t
can be cut In the morning and raked
up in the afternoon or the next day
II the weather is bright. In q general
way 1t can be handled like millet
Where, however. the crop is desired for
seed it is harvested like the small
grains with binder and allowed to
cure in the shocks. Where the plant
ing is in rows. a corn binder can be
used to good effect
Sudan grass makes the hest quality
OF hay if cut after full bloom. and when
there remains 10 chance for an addi-
t;Onal cutting the hay will be i'm
proved by waiting until this stage of
maturity is reached. When cut for
seed, the first heads should be fully
ripe, as the stools will ripen some
what later than the main stem and
there is little loss from shattering
There are very few hay grasses
which are injured SO little by stand
ing beyond the proper stage of matur-
ity as Sudan grass. This is due large
ly to the numerous stools, which,
arising from the base, mature sue
cessively later than the main stem
and always furnish immature stalks,
even when the main stem has ripened
There is. in addition, the fact that
most of the sorghums hold their leav-
es well and make the best quality of
fodder when the seed has reached the
1t possible. where necessary. to eX-
tend the haying process over long
period without any material loss either
in the quantity or quality of the hay.
Such a feature is of great Importance
to the farmer since the cutting time
for his hay often comes when he is
rushed with other work, or his hay
ing may be interfered with by rains
and thus prevent him from cutting at
the most favorable time.

Laundries Forced to Raise Prices
 On Account of Minimum Wage Law

Laundry prices in Pine Bluff are the same now as they were when the first laundry was installed in the city.
 In the last ten years supplies, fuel and labor have advanced 50 to 150 per cent. yet the prices have re- mained the same. Pine Bluff has been for the past two years the only city in the state not to raise it's prices but in order to comply with the mini mum wage law passed by the last legislature and effective April 1, Pine Bluff laundries will make a slight raise. The following prices will be effective. beginning April 12:
 Work shirts ................... .10c Shirts with cuffs attached. ... .121sc Shirts, plaited or full dress. .... .15c Shirts, silk or tango. ...20c COlldfS ...5... oo
 It is hoped that the public will ap- preciate their position, and that they will understand why these slight raises are made. - 4-7-6t
