PLANT MILO MAIZE
SAYS HOG EXPERT I
By D. 0. Lively

No government investigation nor
suspicion of combining to put up the
cost of foodstuffs will attach to the
farmers who plant milo maize. Every
farmer in California should arrange
to plan some dwarf milo this year.
This is surer crop than any of the
other grain sorghums.
Dwarf milo maize is adapted to a
wider range of conditions than almost
any Of the other sorghum family and
yields well. The crop is usually plant
ed in drills in May. 1t has been plant
ed as late as June, provided sufficient
moisture is available to give it good
start.
The best way to plant milo maize
is in rows. About three feet apart is
the best distance. The width of the
rows is usually regulated by the type
Of cultivator you have. The drills
should be set to plant about eight
pounds per acre, though if the land is
poor and somewhat deficient in mois-
ture six pounds is sufficient.
Professor Madsen Of the University
Farm of California has furnished for
publication an article on Milo and

Great Interest in Revival.

The revival at the Christian church
is now in it's third week and the au-
diences and interest are constantly
increasing. That the public is deep
ly interested in religious matters is
proved by the many queries that are
placed in the question box night by
night For a half-hour the .evange-
list expounds the Scriptures anC
teaches vital truths connected with
living problems of the day as drawn
out by the question box. The SER
mon last night was an eloquent trib
ute to the ones who have given US
cur heritage OF happiness. Mr.. Thorn
as sang very effectively "The Ole
Songs My Mother Sang" Tonight DR.
Brown will give one of his popular
lectures, "An Old Picture of You
The revival will close next Sunday
night, but in all probability "The Po
of Gold at the Foot of the Rainbow
will be given as DR.. Browns las

a great address bearing upon tn,
subject of happiness. There were
kyho accepted the invitation last nigh
and some of these will be baptized

60 to harvest for grain. In general,
however, it is better to grow one crop.
The ground should be ploWed after
all danger of frost has passed; then
flooded; then disced, and cross-har-
rowed; then rolled with heavy clod
crusher; then planted. When the
mile is up about four inches tall wa
ter should be run through a furrow
run through each center. There should
be three good civilizations given and
cne more irrigation.
When the grain is ready for har-
vest, it should be cut off at the top
with knives and the stock can be
turned in to Craze down the stalks.
The usefulness for beef, pork and
egg production makes milo crop that
should be extensively grown in Cali
tornia. 1t is better hog feed than
barley and produces more tonnage to
the acre.
With milo on hand the farmer will
not be disposed to yield to temptation
to sell his grain and sacrifice his hogs,
as in the case of barley. Milo is
profitable hog feed at prices now pre-
yailing-both for milo and for hogs.

amendment made to Quarantine Order
No. 26, which allows cotton seeJ to
be brought into this state from Mar
icopa county, Arizona. By getting .
special permit from the State Com
missioner of Horticulture and a GER
tificate signed by the State Entorol-
oeist Of Arizona, setting forth the To-
cality where the cotton seed WAS
grown, it can be brought into ImDe-
rial county.
A letter from the superintendent
Of the state insectary says there will
not be the usual supply of lady birds
this season on account of the col
lecting being delayed. In a previous
letter the state superintendent states
that there are large numbers of
empty crates in this valley which
Rave never been returned. 1t would
seem that when these birds are fur
Inished free to the farmers and express
paid also, they could at least return
the empty crates. It has been sug-
eested that lady birds should not be
furnished to those parties who are
so careless or Indifferent. Please re-
return the empties and be entitled to
more. Applications should be made
to this office. 1t has been decided
by the State Commissioner OF Hor-
Iticulture that branch insectary VIII
be located at Anaheim and the lady
birds will be distributed from there.
1t is also promised that an entomolo-
gist will come here and work out the
life history of aphis and lady birds
Iand viii lalso attempt to determine
the value of the lady birds as de-
Istroyers of aphis. Yours truly,
F. w. WAITE,
Commissioner of Horticulture.
