Harvesting.

Sorghums which are being grown
for silage should not be cut until
the seed is in the hard dough stage.
If cut earlier the silage is apt to be
sour and of poor quality. To avoid
this possibility it is even better to
allow the seed to become fully ma
ture before cutting. 1t is, of course,
true that as the plants reach matur-
lty the fiber increases rapidly, but
this is less Objectionable in silage than
In other forms of forage. The usual
method of harvesting is with a corn
sfndef.~a @..t.,. ,-.-.
For fodder purposes sorghum may
be cut at any time after the heads
are formed. Probably the best stage
OF growth is just as the seed is form
ing or while it is in the milk. In
TINS stage the crop has practically
attained its maximum growth, while
the plants are less fibrous and hence
Of higher feeding value than if al
lowed to become more nearly mature
The fodder crop, like the silage
crop, is usually cut with a corn bind
er. Where the climate is dry the bum
dies may at once bet in shocks to
cure, after which they may either be
fed directly from the field or put into
stack. In the more humid sections
more care is necessary to prevent the
FODDER from molding. Ordinarily the
bundles should be allowed to dry for
few days on the ground, after which
they are set up into small shocks to-
complete the curing process.
When seeded broadcast or in close
drills for hay, the best time to harvest
compatible both with maximum Yields
and feed value, is when the plants
: start to head. By harvesting at this
stage OF growth, two and sometimes
three cuttings per season NAV be oh.
tanned. Furthermore, if cut at this
stage the stems are soft and succu-
lent and if properly cured will be
readily eaten by livestock.
The hay crop is commonly emf with
a mower and allowed to cure in the
swath for day or two, after which
1T IS raked into windrows and then
put INTO cocks to complete the curing
process. This is the most rapid meth.
od of getting rid of the moisture but
o1ten results in harsh hay. The meth
Cd preferred by many is to allo the
nay simply to wilt in the swatch and
then to put it into small size cocks
to cure. By this process the bav
cures more slowly, but retains its col
or and is believed to result in a more
palatable feed.
IN Few instances, the grain bind
er mas been used for harvesting the
nay crop, the bundles being set up
into small shocks to cure. With q
heavy crop, however, some difficultv
Wlll be experienced in getting the
binder to handle it. The chief ad-
vantage for this method is that it is
easier to handle the fodder in bundles
than when it is loose.
Danger from Poisonng-When sor-
ghums are pastured or fed green ap-
prehenslon is sometimes felt regard
ing the danger to stock from poison
ing. Under certain conditions when
'he plants are stunted in their growth,
prusSic (hydrocyanic) acid, which is
quickly fatal to stock, develops in the
leaves With the plants in a normal.

Effect of Rotation on Sorghum.

On the continuously cropped series,
Early Amber was used in 1914 and
1915, and Red Amber in 1916 and
1917. During the last two years,
however, the plants in the series were
weak and sickly looking, even early
in the season, while the growth on
the whole was inferior to that of
the crop following corn.

ENGLISH QUACKS
SELL SERVICES TO
ARMY S[ACKERS

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS physi-
clans and chemists in London have
been operating recently a regular
school to assist men of military age
from avoiding service by use of
drugs. Medical boards before whom
men appear for examination for ex-
emption learned some time ago Of
this practice, taught by heads of
the school, and measures have been
taken by the police to break up
the organization of quacks.
A doctor can produce almost any
symptom of disqualification for the
army, the heart being the chief
organ tempered with, it was learned
by the authorities. Use of drugs
which affect the heart is more diff
cult to detect and because of that
fact is the most in demand among
clients" of the doctors school
The fee charged by the quacks
is $50 in most cases, but in many
instances the amount paid by men
seeking to avoid the army is said
to have been much larger. Money
is no object among the shirkers.
Owing to the labor shortage, men
have been earning wages in virtually
all lines of work which were not
even dreamed of before the war.
The majority of the cases of eff
forts to dodge army service by these
means, according to the medical
boards, has been among the poorer
class in the East End of London.
In several instances men have in
jured their health for life in their
eagerness to produce symptoms they
believed would render them immune
from service at the front.
