WHEN TO SOW BROOM CORN
After several years of experimental.
tions in the improvement of broom
corn in western Oklahoma the United
States Department of Agriculture has
obtained results which indicate that
the crop should be sown in the first
half of May or the last part of June.
These seedlings periods bring the crop
into head either before or after the
hot, dry period, which usually occurs
about the middle of August in that
section. Placing the rows feet apart
with the plants twice as thick in the
rows gave no advantage over rows
spaced 8 IL feet apart with the usual
stand in the row. A higher yield and
a better quality of brush are obtained
if harvesting is done while the seeds
are in dough stage. Both earlier and
later harvesting have been tried but
have given less satisfactory results
Ii harvested in the flower or milk
stage, the brush has not yet become
green and elastic. and if harvest is
delayed until the brush is mature, It
often has become badly discolored and
brittle.

RHODES GRASS IN IMPERIAL VAL
LEY

The attention of an increased
number of farmers and ranchers in
the Imperial Valley of southern Cali
fornia is being directed by one of the
pioneer planters there to the merits
of Rhodes Grass which is now being
grown in that region successfully, al
though before 1902 it was unknown in
this country. The United States De
partment of Agriculture, through its
specialists engaged in foreign seed
and plant introduction, is responsible
for the presence of this profitable
grass in this country. The specialists
brought it directly from South Africa
where it had been raised extensively
on the ranches of the late Cecil Rho
des and others and after whom the
grass is named The grass has been
found particularly adapted to the cost
al region of Texas and to northern
Florida. If it becomes thoroughly es-
tablished in the Imperial Valley, this
will add another region to its domain
of usefulness.
Dasheens are comparatively new
crop for the Plant City section, yet
they are fast growing and bring good
returns. G. w. Scally, who has three
acres, near the north city limits, dug
his crop recently. He produced 500
hampers to the three acres, and called
for men or women. white or colored
to come and help him gather his crop

PREPARE FOR EARLY HATCH
Early Matching will increase the
1uanIer and size of fowls AnS the
number Of eggs produced next year.
DR.. N. w. Sanborn, poultry special
list of the College of Agriculture ex-
tension division, says that it will re-
suit in bigger birds, and birds that
will lay in the winter months. Every
farmer is urged to start the Matching
season earlier than usual this season,
either by incubation or natural meth
DDS if the hens will sit earlier.
Early Matched chickens are the ones
that are largest in the summer, that
mature first in the fall, and that lay
eggs in the winter Also, they are the
ones that will sit earlier the follow.
ing spring and hatch ear.v chickens.
BY Matching late, the cycle of late
maturing, late laying towels is estab-
lished.
hUOuC oOFCh iLAOhtho eNA = AOauAASN
for a chicken to grow to maturity.
During that period of growth its feed
goes to THE making of bone, flesh, and
feathers. When it becomes mature
its feed goes to the making of eggs
and the hen begins to lay. If the bird
natures and begins laying in the fall
she will continue laying all winter il
properly cared for. Birds that are
still growing when cold weather
comes, and do not mature until in the
winter season, will very rarely begin
laying before late the next spring.
Chickens are hurt most by lice in
the midsummer months. The late
Matched chicken has not had time to
become large or strong enough to re-
sist such attacks, but the early hatch
ed chicken has, by midsummer, grown
sufficiently strong to resist the at
tacks of lice. Because its early de-
velopment has proceeded the hot
weather, the early Matched bird is
more apt to live thru the summer.
So the farmer who matches his
chickens early does these things:
gets more chickens, gets more meat,
and gets more eggs.
