The Milbourns put in thirty
three acres of Sudan grass this
year, getting only a fair stand.
Mr.. Milbourn says it is hard to
get a good stand of such plant
for the reason that if it is plant

gone to the weeds at the borders
of the field and have cleaned up
a strip of weeds several rods in
width.

spin, part of the time on two
wheels, narrowly missing a num-
ber of houses and telephone poles
and frightening horses. He was

written May 21, and on the pre-

storm and rain Mr.. Campbell
ever saw. He had a hundred
acres of grain, and it was fiat
tened as if a log had been rolled
over it. and it was a question
whether or not it would straight
