is not definitely known.

On paper Hughes is still the
favorite-but only on paper. AT

Two improved varieties of

rain and grow rapidly. The
seed natures early also, usually
about is days later than the for
age crop. This too, is dist
met advantage to the farmer in
raising his own seed, as sorgo
seed at the present time costs
from So to IS hundred pounds.
Where sorgo can be grown i:
is probable that it will produce
Il larger tonnage of fodder than
any otheer unirrigated forage
crop in this region. At Akron,
Coo. yields of sorgo 40 per cent
greater than millet have been OBJ
tanned and similar results have
been secured at Newell and Ard
more, S. ID. Other tests in Col
orado and the Dakotas have
shown that Dakota Amber sorgo
produces an average of 40 pei
cent more forage than Sudan
grass.
The New AlilIets
Two new varieties of miilet,
Dakota kursk and Siberian, are
discussed in tEe paper already
mentioned. The Dakota kursk
strain has plants 80 to "a inches
high when mature, with many
rather fine stems and many leav-
rs. At Akron the yield of hay
from this variety has averaged
. i-2 tons per acre. and at Ne
we'll 1 ga tons. The seed head
is close and firm and does not al -,
low the seed to shatter readily.
linder ordinary conditions it pro- !
iuces from 5 to 25 bushels of
seed per acre 80 days after plant
ing. The excellent seed habits
If this variety lead to the belief
that in addition to raising seed
for their own use, farmers may
ind it profitable to grow it for
commercial markets. The Dakota
kursk variety may be cut for hay
in from 20 to IS days, and this
Aar.y maturity. as in the case Of
The new variety of sorgo, is a
valuable characteristic.
Siberian millet is a larger var
Iety than Dakota kursk, growing
from 36 to 40 inches in height. /
It has coarser stems and leaves
and makes somewhat poorer
quality Of hay. On the ohter
hand, the yields per acre are
arger. The seed head, however,
is much Jess firm and the seed
skaters more readily. On the
Whole, it is believed that Dakota
kursk is the better type fo" the
northern Great Plains, although,
because of its high yield, Siber-
an millet may be more va!ua-
'aie in regions of greater rain
all.
In coparing the relative value
of millet and sorgo, it is stated
hat the water requirement of the |
after is only slightly higher
han that of millat. Both are pre-
eminent among drought-resistant
crops. Variety tests. however,
have shown that under dryland
conditions the saccharine orgh-
ums or sorgos produce much the
largest tonnage of any Of ,ne an
nual forage crops. !,

DIR Corwin Lectures on Europe

What was, without doubt. the most
interesting and instructive of the
weeks events. was the illustrated
lecture given Tuesday evening at the
Christian church by DR.. X. W. Cor
win, of Pueblo. under theauspices
of the Otero County Medical Associa-
ton.
DIR. Corwin is a man of much ex-
perience and wide knowledge, and
has recently toured the war zone of
Europe, making special study of
the treatment of wounds and hos
pital conditions in those beligerent
countries.
He illustrated his lecture by ster-
eopticon views and also showed a
number Of views of buildings and
cities which have been destroyed
during the war.
DIR. Corwin is especially Interested
in the few remaining Belgians. and
is raising fund to secure ether and
vasaline for the hospitals of that
country. These people are very needy
and DR.. Corwin believes them to be
worthy of our assistance. The Otero
County Medical Association will con-
tribute to the fund inaugurated by
DR.. Corwin. and II any friends would
like to assist in this work. they may
do so through the association.
