Sweet sorghum or cane IS one of the
best annual forages that can satisfac-

produce a greater yield of palatahle
and nutritious forage than any other
annual crop.
Prepare the seed bed even more
thoroughly than for corn, since the
cane seeds are small and young plants
grow slowly early in the season. The
seed can be planted as late as July

Better Care and
Systematic Feeding
Improve Scrub Co,os

Both practical Gairymen and agricul-
that common scrub cows would in
crease in production with better care
and management and that their daush-
tiers by pure bred dairy sires would be
better dairy animals than their dams,
but il has remained for the dairy hus-
handry section of the Iowa experiment
station to offer the first scientific
proof of such a belief. This proof,
based on the now widely known Ar
kansas COW experiment" has just been
made public in bulletin No. 165. writ
ten by Prof H. H kildee and A. G.
McCandlish.
When Frof. H. G. Van Pelt in 1907
searched the country over to find the
most typical scrub cows in existence,
he found them in Arkansas, in an iso-
lated section where no pure bred bulls
had ever been used. They were all in
ferior, small and the fourteen animals
bought were sorry looking lot when
they arrived at Ames In the summer
OF 1907.
These scrubs We're given ct once the
same care, feed and shelter as the
pure bred cattle of the college herd.
The cows and heifers were crossed with
pure bred bulls, and their offspring il
turn crossed. After eight years, the
herd now numbers thirty animals, and
data from three generations is now
ava!la bic.
The results obtained. while the ex-
pertinent will not be completed for
number of years, show already what
care, feed and crossing with pure bred
sires will DO, With the Holstein
grades. the first generation from the
scrubs showed an average increase OF
81 per cent in milk production and II
per cent Of butter fat. The Guernsey
grades. due TO a poor sire mainly, in
creased but IL per cent in milk and s
per cent in fat. One Guernsey, sired
by the college bull. produced over 10
per cent more milk and l07 per cent
more butter fat than her scrub dam.
The original scrub cows, responding TO
better care and feed, gave, up 10 their
fourth lactation period. So per cent
more milk and 81 per cent more fat
than in the first period.

WapeiIo.
The continued rains for the past sew
eral weeks have worked havoc to the
crops in Louisa county and especially
on the Wapello bottom. Many acres OF
farm land are under water at the pres
ent time and the prospects for the corn
crop are very poor. On the Wapello
bolt ON west and south of this city it is
estimated that at least 1000 acres OF
corn are under water at the present
time. The drainage bitches are not
capable of carrying away the food

MOTHER REJECTS SONS PLEAS.
Colored Woman Refuses to Have Any
thing to Do With Lad.

Des MoineS, June 10.-An Thursday
afternoon a young colored boy sat in
the office Of the Associated Charities
and wept bitterly for his mother who
would have none of him. From the
southern part of the state he had beaten
his way for 200 miles to join the wom-
an who had not seen him since he was
2-year-old baby. He is II years old
now.
When he arrived in Des Moines he
sought out his mother. laboring
woman. She wants none of him, she
says, refuses to talk with her son or
in any way to show mothers COM
passion. Not even when an investiga-
tor from the Associated Charities &C
companied the boy to his mothers
home would she give a reason for re-
fusing his plea to remain with her. She
doesn't want him is the only state
ment she will make.
A telegram in response to one sent
from the charity office was received
yesterday from the boys uncle sub
Stimulating his story. In the meantime
the practically motherless little tramp
is living with his uncie's friends.
