augurated.
The oil industry is making Oklaho-
ma a very rich state; 1t is building rail-
roads and pipe lines and factories;
and refineries are springing up be-
cause of the oil fields that have been
discovered. The production of oil has
brought new era of prosperity to the
state and inexperienced men should
not be allowed to manage the regula-
tion of the industry in a manner that
will rob it of profit, discourage opera
tors and refners ana ri a manner de-
stroy the business and prosperity that
always follow in the wake of the oil
operator.

The unanimous favorable verdict
from the many biologists who have
worked out the structure in this To-
cality, and the fact that there is al
ready a quantity of high-grade oil
and gas produced at a very shallow
depth, has created an opinion among
oil men generally that one of the
largest high grade oil fields in the
United States will be developed in
southern Marshall county, where
these deep tests are now being drilled.

BIG INCREASE IN FOOD VALUE
No Hometown Feed Becomes More
Indispensable Than siIage When
Given Fair Trial.

That the feeding value of corn is
increased 40 per cent when made into
silage is no longer questioned by
those who are feeding it. In fact, it
is not uncommon to hear farmers say
that it increases the value of corn
even more.
It is a well-known fact that so per
cent of the value of the corn plant is
in the stalk and leaves. Not only is
it true that silage increases the value
of corn, but of all other foods fed to
live stock.
There is no homegrown feed which
becomes more Indispensable than ST.
lage when it has been given fair
trial. The greatest proof of this is
the fact that farmers who have one
silo are building another.

ATTENTION TO EWES

Lamb Is Very panaerous-Pro-
vide Plenty Of Exercise.

In housing breeding ewes during the
winter, attention must be given to the
arrangements OF the pens and yards.
Overcrowding ewes that are heavy
with lamb is very dangerous. and dur
ing the cold days. when the ewes are
kept confined inside of the barn, too
large a flock has tendency to raise
the temperature in the barn until they
become too warm and sweaty, and
when turned out in the cold they get
chilled and the result is catarrh. 1t
is also much better to keep them in
small punches of, say. twenty to forty
ewes. With the smaller breeds few
more may be kept together. but with
the large mutton breeds you will OBJ
tain better results by keeping fewer
in a bunch. Plan to provide means
for the ewes to get exercise, for breed
ing ewes cannot well bring vigorous
lambs unless they have plenty of eN-
ercise.

sow SUDAN GRASS

That Sudan grass should have a
wider use as pasture crop in Kan
sas, is the opinion of Ralph Kenney,
assistant professor Of crops in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
Sudan grass is rapidly becoming
recognized as an excellent pasture
crop throughout the central and
southern plains states" said Profess
sor Kenney. "All sections of Kansas,
but more especially the middle and
western parts of the state, should be
growing this annual pasture crop. 1t
will make more forage than most OF
the other sorghums when sowed in
close drills, and-'what is still better
will produce 1t as 1t is being
cropped off by live stock.
Fifteen to 20 pounds should be
drilled to the acre, when planted for
pasture. This gives close, even
stand, we'll suited for pasture pur-
poses. It is we'll to remember that
Sudan grass is sorghum and might
produce prussic acid poisining IL q
stunted growth should be used for

exercised when short growth is pas
tured during protracted drouth.
There is practically no danger when
the plants are growing vigorously"

DISASTER Turks IN THE GRASS

The people Of Kansas are being
urged by the state fire marshal to be-
ware of uncut weeds and grass at
this season of the year. A little care
lessness now may result in heavy
losses a little later.
A patch of ground grown up to
grass or weeds may look harmless
enough to satisfy any one, but de-
struction turks in its tangled mass of
vegetation. Whole cities have been
destroyed by a small patch of, dead
grass.
When the frost has destroyed the
last vestige of life in blade and stock
and wind and sun have dried the last
lingering sap from tiny shoot and
stock, the unmowed patch Of ground
becomes veritable finder box, wait
ing for the spark from match or
chimney or cigarette stub to burst
into flame.
A spark dropped in patch Of dry
grass at Nashville, Tenn, last spring
destroyed over six hundred buildings,
including some of the principal build
ings Of the city.
Nobody knows when similar cat
astrophe may fall upon some Kansas
community. The danger is especial
ly great in the more closely built-up
sections of the towns of the state, but
it is just as real in the scattered por-
tions and on the farms. Many a farm
er has lost his haystacks, his barn
and sheds or even his house as a re-
suit Of letting dead grass stand
through the winter.

GO AFTER CHINCH BUGS NOW

Uhinch bugs are present in limited
numbers in few Kansas localities,
according to T. H. Parks, specialist
In entomology in the division Of ex-
tension, Kansas State Agricultural
college.
Wherever they were observed
last summer on corn or sorghum"
said Mr.. Parks, "a close inspection
should be made of the =elumps Of
bluestem and sedge grass adjoining
the fields. If dozen or more chinch
bugs are found in each Of these
clumps the back fire. treatment
should be given. 1t is rarely neces-
sary to burn prairie meadow except
along the edge next to the corn field.
The bugs usually stop at the first
clumps of dense grass. Hence it will
be necessary to burn strip only
about two rods wide.
Special attention should be given
to the dense grass along the fence
rows. The railroads are doing their
part to dispose of this. There is no
better way to use the spare time after
fall seeding is over and thus prevent
the chinch bugs from getting another
foothold on Kansas farms. First ex-
anime the bunch grass and If the
bugs are present. fire the grass when
it is dry down to the crown"
