IN THE PLACE OF mlLLErs.
Tests Of Sudan Grsss Irdicats the
Value OF This Crop.

IL. e. Hackleman. Missouri station.1
Tests OF Sudan grass by the Missouri
station during the last two years fndi.
cate that this new crop will be of value
10 Missouri farmers, especially In the
southern part of the state. IL differs
from Johnson grass In not possessing
the heavy root stalks or underground
stems which make Johnson grass so
difficult 10 eradicate I'm those regions
which are well suited for its produc-
ton. The plants. average from three
TO FIVE feet In height when drilled or
broadcasted and have stems a little
larger than lead pencil. If grown I'm
rows and cultivated 1t reaches a height
Of from six to nine feet on good soil,
with a corresponding increase In the
size of the stems. When planted thin
ly IL stools very freely, sometimes pro
duclng as many as hundred stems
from one crown.
Like other sorghums, Sudan grass
does best In warm climate. Ii should
not be planted until all danger of frost
is past and the ground thoroughly
warmed. It is decidedly drought re-
sistant, which makes ii well suited for
the semiarid regions of the southwest.
Ii is also being grown with success I'm
the more humid regions, but IL has not
attracted as much attention there as
In the drier sections, where there are
not so many other good hay plants.
Two cuttings are usually made and
under very favorable conditions some
times three or four. 1t has rather wide
adaptations as regards soil, growing
successfully on almost every soil from
a heavy clay TO light sand. 1t does
best, however. on a rich. well drained
loam
Two methods of seeding are prac-
ticed, broadcasting or drilling solid or
drilling in rows TO be cultivated. An
ordinary grain drill may be used and
the seed covered from one-half to one
inch deep. Where drilled in rows a
sufficient number OF holes are stopped
up TO put the rows. the proper distance
apart Where an ordinary corn cult
vator is to be used the rows should be
from thirty-six TO forty-two inches
apart Where seeded broadcast from
!
TO the acre are required. while seeding
with a drill requires about five pounds
less. If seeded in rows four or FIVE
pounds are sufficient
Ii is customary 10 cut il for hay just
after full bloom and TO cure in light
windows and small cocks. IL may
also be harvested with n binder and
cured In shocks. Where grown for
seed it is usually harvested with n
grain binder when the first heads are
fully ripe.
In Missouri Sudan grass should be
considered hay grass of much the
same use on the general farm as mil
let. 1t viii generally give two cut
tings and viii yield from two 10 four
tons of good hay. In feeding value il
is similar TO timothy hay. millet and
Johnson grass.

THE NEW CHESTNUT BLIGHT.
Substitution of Native Trees For Ash

How to checkmate the new chestnut
blight or bark disease that is causing
such vast destruction is a problem Of
no small importance. From its obscure
beginnings I'm eastern New York about
twelve years ago it has swept into
nineteen states and now affects about
all Of the northern half Of our native
chestnut stands. doing damage esti-
mated at close upon $4,000 900. IL at
tacks the trees in twig, branch and
trunk, causing death in a year or two.
and soon recurs in the sprouts or suck
ers sent up from the still living roots.
No native chestnut appears TO be spared
In the long run. but the little eastern
bush chinquapin, with its smoother
bark and comparative freedom from in
sect enemies, appears less readily at
tackled. The European chestnut In its
favorite varieties is also subject TO the
disease. but when we come to the
chestnuts OF Japan and China we find
very great resistance amounting in
some varieties TO almost practical i'm
munity. There appears to be now no
method OF controlling this disease.
which is caused by a fungus whose
spores are carried about by birds and
insects. creating new infections wher-
ever they reach the sap wood or inner
bark OF the chestnut tree. There is no
apparent diminution OF It's virulence
since IL came under observation.
The most obvious means OF replacing
the great losses OF chestnut timber and
nuts would seem to lie in the substitu-
ton for our native forms the Asiatic
species that best resist the disease,
having evidently for ages been accus-
toned to its presence, and also to breed
the chestnut as a valuable genus OF
forest trees. by hybridization and Sc
lection for the avowed production Of
varieties better adapted for our pu--
poses.

IMPROBABLE ACRES.
Forty Per Cent Of Cultivated Land
Only 10 Properly improved.


Only IL Properly Improved.
Prepared by United States department OF
agricUture.l
According TO the 1910 census, 462
per cent OF the land area OF the United
States is IN farms, and 54.4 per cent Of
this, or 25.1 per cent of the total area
is improved. The United States de
partment OF agriculture has recently
estimated that 40 per cent OF our cul-
tivated land is reasonably we'll cult

mum net returns. III these figures are
sorrect we find by computation that
)nly 10 per cent OF the total area Of
the United Suites is reasonably well
cultivated and that but 3 per cent
Yields maximum net returns.
This does not indicate very high
level OF efficiency In farming. A con-
siderable percentage OF our unprohta-
BILE land doubtless never can be
brought under successful cultivation
by any methods now known. Ii Is also
true that the sudden advancement OF
ali our arabic land TO a point where
each farm would become 100 per cent
efficient might seriously affect the bust
ness side OF farming by lowering the
prices of agricultural products. Yet as
