lions. 1t has, nevertheless, a very i'm
pOrtant place IN the farmers second
line of defense as catch crop which
can be planted to give satisfactory
returns when conditions have brought
failure to other hay crops. This is
the verdict pronounced by the United
States department of agriculture in
Farmers Bulletin 1926 recently is
sued.
Sudan grass Is replacing millet as
the premier catch crop in many local
tiles because of its ability to produce
fair yield and a high quality OF
hay under conditions of low rainfall /;
it's rather short growing season, and
it's ability to thrive on wide range
of soil types. Large yields of Sudan
grass are obtained only on good soils,
but the grass fails completely only on
cold. poorly drained land.
There are certain parts of the
United States where the department
of agriculture considers it unWiSe to
depend on Sudan grass for hay. This
is true of the strip of territory 200
miles wide along the northern
boundary; the regions of high alti-
tudes in the western states; and also
most of Florida and a narrow strip of
land along the gulf coast. Low tenn
peratures prevent success with the
grass in the first two regions named,
and disease is the limiting factor
along the gulf coast. In majority OF
the central and southern states, how
ever climatic and soil conditions are
favorable to Sudan grass.
Although Sudan grass is best adapt
ed by nature to use as hay crop, it
is also used with great success as a
boiling and pasture crop for summer
pastures.
High Feeding Value.
The feeding value Of Sudan grass
IS equal to timothy hay. In localities
where soy beans or cOwpeas do we'll

She Gave Them a Choice.

Little Mary Ellen hates above all
things to have anything done to her
hair. Recently her auntie decided
that it needed cutting. At The same
time her mother decided that it need
ed washing. And Mary Ellen made
strenuous protestations against both
operations. "Why this morning l saw
a little girl with the ugliest, long, dirty
hair" her aunt began suggestively
Nobody liked her. OF course you
wouldn't want to be like her?'
Mary Ellen studied a while before
she answered the question. Then she
looked at her mother. 'Mother," she
began, "would you rather have my
hair dirty and short, or long and
clean?"

BIG HARM TO CROPS
FROM GRASSHOPPERS
Situation Is Particularly Serious
in Dak0tas.
Pest Destroying First Good Crops
Farmers Have Had Since Begin
ming of Extended Dry Season
Poison Bait Favored.

GrasshOppers arc infesting the
farms in the northern portions of
North Dakota. Michigan and Oregon
east Of the Cascade mountains, ac-
cOrding to reports received by the bu-
reau of entomology. In the Dakotas
the situation is particularly serious
because the farms have suffered from
several years of drought, and the aver
age farmers bank account is much
decreased by these years of extremely
low crop yields. Now comes the
grasshopper to destroy the first good
crop the farmers have been able to
grow since the beginning of the ex-
tended dry seasons. In many cases
the farmers predicament is desperate,
with no funds available to enable him
to fight the pest which threatens him
with bankruptcy.
The United States department of
agriculture has no available funds for
the purpose, but is giving such assist
ance as it can toward putting control
measures into effect.
Grasshopper bait, made according to
the directions given below and scat
tered over the infested areas, is a
highly successful weapon to check the
pest.

lures with the Sudan grass. Such
mixture produces "a hay Of higher
feeding value than the grass alone,
because of the high protein content Of
the legumes.
Sudan grass hybridizes freely with
the sorghums. 1t Is necessary, there
fore, if pure seed is produced, to have
the Sudan grass field at some distance
from any sorghums, otherwise it will
result in a mongrel crop the follow
ing year.

bulletin goes very thoroughly into the
details of cropping, planting, harvest
ing-both for hay and for seed-as

CATS SIMPLY WOULDN'T DIE
Two More Remarkable Incidents
Showing Pussy's Refusal to Sur
render Any of Her Lives.

Admiral Beatty, of the British navy,
tells an interesting story regarding
the ships cat Oh the Lion. During
the Jutland battle the sick bay was
shattered by a shell. Happily, the in
valids had been removed beforehand,
but, by an oversight, the cat, who
lived in the bay, had been left behind.
General grief was expressed by the
crew at the loss of the cat, but greatly
to the surprise of the men told off to
clear away the debris, a good healthy
meow was heard, followed by five lit
tie meeows. Puss had hidden away
on shelf, and had signalized the bat
tie by giving birth to five kittens, who
are now distributed throughout the
navy.
Another cat story is told by Cap
tain Llewellyn of the steamer NOldera.
One of the ships which he commanded
in the war was blown up by a mine.
In q rough sea all the passengers,
some 500 in nuInher, were safely TAX
en- off in boats.
When rowing away from the scene
of the wreck, the captain noticed one
of the ships eats floating on a mail
bag. He shouted to the officer in
charge of the boat nearest the cat to
have her taken on board, but ascer-
tanned some days after that this had
not been done, as before the eXplo-
sion the cat, when chasing rat, had
lost part of her tongue in a rat
trap. This had made her savage, and
the officer in charge Of the boat had,
therefore, deemed it unsafe to act on
the captains request.
Now for the sequel. Twerty-four
days and 20 hours after the sinking
of the ship, the cat and the mail bag
were washed ashore. The cat, al
though thin and feeble, was still ac-
tive and comparatively well. Her
tongue had healed, and she is now in
stalled as head cat on pleasure
yacht, the owner of which had heard
OF her marvellous escape. Rain fell
heavily during some part of the "A
days, and the cat is supposed to have
kept herself alive by licking the wa
ter from her coat.

Was Still There.

A visitor to a midland town was
trying to convince an inhabitant OF
the honesty Of the town he had come
from. but, failing to make him believe
that 1t was more so than any other
place, thought to prove it by relating
the following incident. Said he:
"a lady friend of mine on one Occa-
sion hung her diamond bracelet on a
lamp-post in our town and left it
there for about two hours. When she
returned it was still there"
"The bracelet wasp queried the
friend, with an incredulOus smile.
"No; the lamp-pOst!" replied the
visitor.-Lcndon Tit-BitS.

Other bats are described in Farm
ers' Bulletin TAT, United States depart

little difference in their relative eff
cheney. In moist climates the bats
may be applied In the morning, but in
semi-arid regions it should be put out

Red Cross Secretary Explains Need

of High Schools in Southwest
Some of the needs of the South
west from a Red Cross voint of view
were set forth in an address by Miss
Susan Ramsey, Director of the Bu-
reau of Education of the Southwest
ern Division of the Red Cross at st.
Louis, in an address few days ago,
before one of the adult classes of one
of the city's leading Congregational
! churches. Miss Ramsey, in the course
of the past year has made extensive
trips throughout Missouri, Kansas,
Teras, Arkansas. and Oklahoma.
The Red Cross worker mentioned
! high schools as great need in rural
districts. Many farmers opposed the
rural high school because it increased
their taxes ''It is harder matter, !"
she said, ''to interest some of them in
their boys and girls than in their hogs
and cattle. A story is told in one dis
trict that I visited of a farmer who
had a baby in the family, and when
the baby cried at night he grew weary
of it and gave the child to his wife,
saying he had to have his Sleep A
few hours afterward the wife was
awakened by a light in the room and
was surprised to see her husband pre-

was he more interested in the pig
than in the child? and the answer was
that the pig had thoroughbred

"There is large, beautiful build
ing in Missouri, built especially tO
house the pedigrees of Poland-China
hogs. It contains vaults, in which
these pedigrees are preserved. In the
State of Missouri there is no such
pains to keep the birth registration OF
babies, as there is for Poland-Chins
hogs. There are parts of Missouri in
which a baby can be born without any
record being made of it. This is moi
the case in st. Louis nor in any OF
the large cities, but there is no legal
machinery in outlying districts cap
able of compelling a registration OF
the birth of a child. This caused US
great difficulty in our work among

Their claim had to be based on birth
