SOME LATE SEED CROPS
MAY BE S0WN IN JULY
State Proves Feasibility And
Value of Practice

There is time yet to sow feed crops.
Last year Mr.. Mitchell near Fort
Collins sowed his beet field to oats
after the worms took the beets and
he got yield of sixty bushels to the
acre, besides lot of excellent straw
that was used for feeding purposes
The oats were sown July 5th and
the crop weighed thirty pounds to
the bushel.
Two years ago DR.. Griffith Of
Montrose planted Russian Sunflower
seed the 1 18th of July and got yield
of % to Is tons OF silage to the
acre. Frost came before the crop
ripened, but it made good feed.
Three years ago, near Fort Collins,
Sudan Grass sOwn the last week in
June on dry land gave a good yield
of hay.
Last year the writer planted corn
the 18th of July and got roasting ears
before frost came.
The Holly chieftain., 1920-07-15

This shows what late planting will
sometimes do and farmers who have
soil that is in good condition and will
need feed should continue to SOW as
late as conditions will warrant, Frost
may get the crop but if it is harvest
ed will make feed. and be better than
a snow bank next winter.-R. W

WHERE CHICKS LOST IT.

contradicting the statement that the
squeeze would have scored a tally in
the sixth that would have bagged the

Here's the situation The bases were
full and there was one out. The Crack
er infield dropped back for a double
play. Meyers was up. He could have
hunted, and Griffin could have scored
from third as Meyers went out at first,
which would have been two outs and
one run.
But whoever directs the play OF the
Chicks didn't figure on the squeeze, but
elected Meyers to hit. And Meyers stood
stock still and let three strikes go by
him without so much as swinging once
And every strike split the plate.
After Umpire clifford had called Mey.
ers out, the Chick catcher turned around
and tried to alibi with the crowd by
giving the umpire some talk but the
crowd knew Meyers alone was to blame
as every. strike was exactly through
the middle.
Dazzy Vance, Chick pitcher, intended
to beat the Crackers twice Monday
but Jupiter Pluvius kept him from it.
Dazzy was fined five spot by UNI
pire Clifford for too much chatter after
the umpire had called one of Dazzys
fast ones a ball when Dazz- marine
thought 1t was a strike.
The Chicks got one hit an inning,
making half-dozen raw, but not a
score resulted. However, it was no
fault of Daniel Boones that they didn't
register. for they blew every chance
they had.
