METHOD TO DETECT
SUDAN GRASS SEED
Differences in Size, Form and
Physical Characteristics
Noted by Government.

Seed specialists in the United States
department of agriculture have de-
veloped a method whereby seed of
sudan grass may accurately be dis
tinguished from the seed Of Johnson
grass, which, while valuable in some
sections, is considered so troublesome
a weed in others that state laws pro-
hibit its admission.
Careful study Of the seeds of the
two grasses has disclosed differences
in size, form, color and physical charac-
teristics which are easily detected un-
der good glass. Seed inspectors and
others interested in determining the
purity Of sudan grass seed may OBJ
tain a technical description of this
method In Department Bulletin 406,
Distinguishing Characters of the
Seeds Of Sudan Grass and Johnson

application as long as the depart
ment's supply lasts.

Vick's Vap-O-Rub is the invention OF
North Carolina druggist. He found
how to combine Menthol and Camphor
with the volatile oils of Eucalyptus,
Thyme, Cubebs and Juniper in a salve
form, so that, when Vap-O-Rub is ap-
piled externally, the body heat re-
leases the ingredients in the form of
vapors. These vapors are inhaled
with every breath, through the air
passages, to the lungs, loosening the
phlegm, and, in addition, Vick's is abb
sorbed through the skin, taking out
the tightness and soreness. This
double action makes Vap-O-Rub useful
for wide range Of troubles. From
inflammations Of the air passages,
such as head colds, catarrh, asthma,
sore throat, bronchitis or deep chest
colds, down to inflammations of the
skin and tissues, such as burns,
bruises, stings, piles and feelings. We
particularly recommend 1t for mothers
with small children, as it can be used
freely, with perfect safety, on the

Of rolled oats, bran, and shorts. Each
Of the heavier producers gets about
ten pounds Of this mixture daily. In
addition to being well fed, the cows
stand comfortably sheltered In warm
barn most Of the time and have access
to plenty Of good water.
During the month six cows in this
herd averaged 54.8 pounds of butter
fat, worth more than $16, while the
feed cost was approximately $5.S7
apiece. The records kept by the COW
tester gave the dairyman exact knowl-
edge Of the cost Of feed and produc-
ton in the case Of each animal, and
thus enabled him to Gull out board
ers" and regulate his feed In proper
ton to the milk production Of each
COW. The association record for the
farmer, however, seemed to establish
the fact that, in the region mentioned,
winter dairying can be made to pay.

Less seed, also, is required in drilling.
The seed should be covered usually
about one and one-half inches deep.
The rate of seeding should be two
bushels to the acre under average soil
conditions and two and one-half BUSH
els on heavy soils.
Every two or three years oat seed
should be treated for smut to hold the
disease In check. This year is good
time to begin. A formaldehyde solu-

Oats grow best when sown with a

two or three inches deep. FaIl-plowed
land is to be preferred. Seeding should
be done early.
Oats failow cultivated crop in ro-
tation. Fali-plowing is best. If the sit

earlier 1t is done the better. Following

By observing the rate of recession

years old and the Niagara river $4,000
