SYRIAN EDITOR
Prominent Publisher Of New York
Visiting Friends in This City.

Mr.. Joseph y. Khoury. editor Of
THE People" Syrian publication
issued in New York is in the city Wis
iting Mr.. Charles Amien and other
local SyranS. in the interest Of his
publication. and will remain here for
several days.
Mr.. khoury has taken very keen
interest in the efforts on the part OF
the American Syrians 10 extend relief
to the hundreds of thousands of
Syrian refugees whose homes have
been burned and property destroyed by
Turkish soldiers. and he was rejoiced
yesterday upon receipt Of information
that the Turkish government has at
last consented TO the distribution Of
food supplies 10 the Syrians. Ameri-
can SyrianS have COLLECTED consider
able sums of money and have gath
cred A large quantity of clothing and
food 10 be sent 10 their brethren in
the old country. but The interference
of the Turkish government has pre-
vented the effective use Of their sup
plies. The government al Washing
ton took the matter up A number of
times, but never was able 10 obtain
any active assistance until now. Con-
gresham Howard Sutherland of West
Virginia. was one OF the most active
in urging the matter on the state de.
partment, and largely through Mr..
Sutherland's efforts final action was
secured. II is the belief Of Mr.. khoury
and others who are we'll informed that
Syrian relief will now be distributed
without hindrance.

repairs will be necessary for the sana-
forum TO be reopened for patients suf-

While the spring is just really open

ed IN the west river country, tells of
the coming TO that section of settlers
with their cars of emigrant goods to
settle upon farms. In many of these
cases, the new comers, are really the

proved up their lands, and who are
now coming back TO make their homes
with a better knowledge of the re.
quirements of the country in the way
of tilling and handling of their lands

ces the coming of eight families with

A DIsGUsTED ELECTORATE

Sioux Falls Argus Leader: Before
the state wide primary law was en-
acted ia South Dakota from so 10 IS
per cent of the voters in the state
were taking part in the elections. 1t
was urged for the primary that II
would stimulate interest ia politics,
in that the primary would "put con
troll of political matters in the hands
of the people" That the primary
has not worked this way is shown by
the fact that the common voters have
very little to say about who their can
didates are to be, while everybody
knows that we have in South Dakota
today the most merciless machine
that has ever oppressed any western
state, drawing the line not even at
attempts to ruin the business OF those
who oppose it. How has it worke d
in arousing popular interest in cleo
tions? In the last general election
only 81 per cent of the voters took
the trouble to go to the polls. In
other words, in this state out of a
voting population of 169, ,S75 there re
NAMED away from the polls II ,S41

DESERTERS ARE FEW

Washington, d c., March 10 An
almost negligible percentage of men
have deserted from the United States
Marine Corps during the past three
months, and all records in this re-
spect have been broken, according to
a statement just issued from the
headquarters Of the Corps in this
city.
Only high grade men take mp the
Marine Corps service, the officers
state by way of explanation, and the
Marine who looks lightly upon his
oath of obligation these days is a
rarity. Desertion has not been a
Marine Corps problem for several
years, and during the last year has
dropped into insignlicance.

PROSPERITY TIDE ON WAY

Aberdeen news: That "the eutire
country is on the eve of a period of
unprecedented prosperity the dura-
tion of which will probably be five
years" is the opinion of Frank FL /.
Barnard, who arrived home this
morning from a two months trip in
the east, the greater portion of his
time being spent in the factory CEN
ters of New England. "The east is
at present experiencing great wave
of prosperity with manufacturing
industries of every kind going at top
speed night and day turning out not
only products the war has caused a
demand for in Europe, but those
products that before the European
conflict were imported to this coun.
try. | believe the impetus given to
manufacturing will be permanent be-
cause Of the efficiency of our higher
priced labor combined with scientific
methods and enterprises will more
than offset the cheaper labor of for
eign countries.
"There is an exceptionally strong
feeling for preparedness throughout
the east, and fear of war and war con-
ditions. This is strikingly indicated
by the statement often made in the
inland city of Middletown, Conn,
to the effect that hostile fleet un.
seen by the people of the city cou Id
quickly and easily demolish that staid

This will be an interesting controversy

producer in the state. II is a case of
freezing out competitor, or putting him
out of business in an underhanded way, if
the allegation is true.

SUDAN GRASS AS A FOR
AGE AND SEED CROP

Sudan grass, a new drought. resis-
tapt hay plant, was obtained from
the Sudan government at Khartum
in 1909.
Under cultivation in the United
States, Sudan grass has shown itself
to be distinctly an annual The fact
that it has no rootstalks places it
nearer the cultivated sorghums than
johnson grass, which for many years
has been credited by some botanist
with being the wild prototype of the
sorghums.
Sudan grass when seeded broadcast
or in drills averages about 5 to feet
in height and has a stem a little
smaller than lead pencil. II grown
in rows and cultivated it reaches q
height of 5 to 9 feet and the stems are
larger than usual. The leaves of
Sudan grass are more numerous than
those of Johnson grass, giving the
plant much more favorable appear
ance as a hay plant. The most i'm
portant difference, however, is that
the aggressive underground stems,
or rootstocks, with which the John
son grass is equipped, are entirely
absent in Sudan grass. Sudan grass
always develops fibrous root, there
fore it can never become an obnox-
ions weed, compared to the perennial
Johnson grass. Furthermore, 1t has
shown no tendency to persist in fields
as an annual weed through volunteer
seedlings. When given plenty of room
the grass stools very freely. 1t is not
uncommon to find over 100 stems aris-
ing from one crown. This decided
tendency to stool is most apparent
after the first cutting, and this char
acteristic makes the hay from the
second cutting usually of finer texture
than the first cutting. Sudan grass.
like other sorgbums, does best in
warm climate. In favorable seasons
where the growing period is long rs
many as four cuttings can be obtain
ed in one year. For example, in the
present instance Sudan grass promis-
es to become of the most Importance
throughout Texas, western OklOhoma,
western Kansas. western Nebraska
and central South Dakota. Sudan
grass is destined to be the second
most important forage crop of the

much in excess of those produced by

Preparing Seed Bed, Seeding, Etc.
In seeding Sudan grass a rather
firm seed bed is best Preparing the
ground as for corn and sowing the
seed about the same time that corn
is sown. or from May first to June
lrst. Seed should be sown from n
to q inches deep depending on the
moisture conditions Of the soil.
When sown broadcast from 16 to "a
pounds of good clean seed per acre
are necessary. In arid districts q
light seeding is most profitable. If
seeded in cultivated rows from 80 to
40 inches apart, from to pounds
will be sufficient. There is about two
million pounds of southern 1914 seed
that has been put on the market this
year This seed can be obtained from
to 10 cents per pound. Northern
grown seed can be bought from $40 to
8l2 per bushel, there are 60 pounds in

One of the latest reports is that the

stutfs adequately protected by q
