SORGHUMS AND MILLETS THE
. BEST CROPS TO FURNISH
HAY FOR THE SOUTH

Washington, D. c., May 20.-In the
Southeastern States the sweet sorg-
huns, Sudan grass, millets, and cow
peas are the forage crops best suited
for summer planting The transporta-
ton problem, under present condi-
tons, promises to be highly import
ant one. 1t is very desirable for this
reason that farmers in the Southeast
ern States should grow sufficient hay
to feed their work stock and other
farm animals instead of importing it
from other sections of the coutry. By
doing this, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture states they will
relieve the pressure on transportation
agencies and release large quantities
of marketable hay for the use of the
army
The forage crops named succeed
even on the moderately fertile lands
of the South.
1t is not necessary, however, for
the cotton farmer to reduce his acre
age in cotton to insure himself of an
abundance of hay for his own live
stock. Usually there is a large amount
of untitled land in the South and if
this were utilized in the production of
forage there would be an abundance
of hay to supply all home require
ments.
One feature to be considered if
Southern farmers are to produce their
own hay, is, the cost and scarcity of
seed for planting, In particular the
price of Sudan grass seed is so high
that it practically prohibits the seed
ing OF this crop for hay purposes. To
a certain extent this is true also of the
cowpea.' On the other hands, seed
of millets and the sorghums can be
obtained at much more reasonable
price. These, therefore, are recon-
mended as the most satisfactory crops
for providing hay for home consump-
ton in the Southeast.
In order to conserve the seed sup
ply OF sweet sorghums it is advised
that the practice of seeding these
sorghums broadcast or in close drills
be discontinued very largely for the
present Sixty pounds of seed per
acre are required where these crops
are drilled or broadcasted, and only
Ave pounds il planted in rows and Gull
tivated. This latter method requires
more labor, but the yield per acre of
fodder will equal or exceed the yield
of hay from broadcast or drilled seed
ings and much larger acreage can
be planted with the same amount of
seed.

MEN FOR AVIATION CORPS
REQUIRED TO PASS
SEVERE TEST

Atlanta, Ga, May 2l,-Atlantians
who have tried for tie aviation corps
are wondering if driving battle
aeroplane can subject a man to as
many violent tests of nerve and mus
Gle as the examination Uncle Sam re-
quires.
You sit down in chair, they blind
fold your eyes, and then they whirl
you around so fast that you ALMOST
lose consciousness, and when the
chair is suddenly stopped they ask
you in which direction you are facing.
That's one test.
Another is to fill your ears with
cold water, then take it out and fill
them with warm water, and if you can
hear command in a very low tone,
almost whisper, across the room
while your ears are full, perhaps you
will do.
You walk backward thirty PAGES,
then forward thirty PAGES, your eyes
closed all the time, to see how far you
have deviated from a straight line.
A pistol is suddenly fred beside
your face, sword is thrust at you
by the examining officer, and various
other tests of the utmost severity are
given, while an instrument records
the beating of your heart and the reg
ularity of your breathing.

Secretary of State Collects
Figures to Show Where
Vehicles Are

Albany. April New York state to-
dav can muster 32.s00 automobile
trucks. It's gasolene army totals 3lS,-
600 cars and more than 10000 pro-
fcssional drivers. One-half the total
number of trucks are in New York City,
while the nearby counties Of West
chester and Nassau contribute 2,400
more. Nearly $4,000 trucks are scat
tered over the state with 90 per cent Of
the number in cities either located on
or connected by improved highways
with the main artery that runs from
Buffalo 10 New York.
Definite truck registration figures by
counties nave just been compiled by
Secretary OF Safe Francis VI. Hugo,
coOpcrating with other departments Of
the state M ascertaining New Eorks
true war assets. They have been fur
nished TO the Adjutant Generals office
to become part of great mass Of in
formation that is being gathered from
all quarters.
These latest motor vehicle statistics
show that there are e,748 trucks in
New York county, 4,11O in Kings, III
in Queens and SAC in the BronX,.while
Richmond has 291. These figures in
crease with the daily registrations.
Although there has been a phenom-
email registration Of cars i'm this state
during the past two months, there are
still about 100000 which must be IL
censed before the total figures of last
year are equalled. Much of this be
lated registration however is confined
to the upstate counties from which
thousands Of applications are now be
ing fled by owners who were unable to
use their cars on account of the win
try weather that prevailed until
comparatively short time ago.
Estimates made by Secretary Hugo,
based on the increase Of last year
over 1918. give New York State a total
Of 100000 cars this year, which means
that during the next ten months to
come 10000 motor vehicles must be
registered in the three Offices under
his jurisdiction.

Single Steel Disc
Makes Good Form
Of Auto Wheel
Simplicity and Ease Of
Handling in Latest Sug-
gested Improvement

4 late motor car development Is a
pressed steel wheel made in a simple
single disc form, as the illustration
shows. The hub has a hange to which
the single dished disc is bolted To the
outer edge Of the disc is permanently
attached part OF the split rim-the
larger part-while the other part is
bolted in place through an inwardly
projecting fange.
To change tires il is necessary only
10 remove the nuts from the ten hold
ing bolts, when the narrower section Of
the rim comes away. Then the tire is
taken of the wide section. It Is also
pointed out that in replacing tire
there is no danger Of damaging either
tube or tire.
Provision has been made for de-
mounting the wheel. The four nuts on
the fange bolts at the hub. which are
self-contained with their lock washers,
are removed and the wheel slipped off.
There are no loose pieces. This is said
TO be only few seconds slower than
the removal Of a wire wheel with a
single nut
In the event of excessive pressure the
disc wheel will bend, but still will sup
port the car, and may be Strengthened,
after which it will be as good as ever.
1t is said that the strain required to
bend the steel wheel would be sufi-
cient to break a wood or wire wheel. A
wheel three times bent in testing and
Strengthened is in constant use on a
heavy car. showing no sign of weakness.
Although the makers acknowledge
that the appearance of disc wheel is
something of shock to unaccustomed
eyes. it is contended that in reality IT
is decidedly in keeping with the general
appearance Of the modern automobile,
and that it is only necessary to get
accustomed to the new form to appre-
ciate it.
