milo and feterita not only in COMPETE
ton among themselves but with corn.
These Investigations now point con-
clusively to the fact that there is
no appreciabie superiority of corn
over grain sorghums nor of milo, fet-
erita or kafir over each other in a
ration for fattening farm animals.
Feeding tests recently conducted at
the Spur substation confirmed prac-
tically the scientific conclusion that
there is only a slight difference in
the productive value of either of
these grain sozPhum5 and of corn in
feed ration.
Producers of grain sorghums are
therefore greatly interested now IN
bringing the feeding public TO a bet
ter understanding of the value of
the new grain so that il may take its
rightful place alongside corn in the
grain markets. They argue plausi-
/ bly, that feeders will not continue
very long TO buy corn to feed their
hogs and cattle and lambs at price
far above that at which kafir, milo
and feterita may be had, when they
once learn that the grain sorghums
are quite as good or better than the
corn They like to grow the grain
sorphums because with the highly inn
proved new varieties they have no
/ trouble in producing more bushels
per acre than they can corn and
/ for that matter more bushels per
acre than accredited yields of corn
in the great ccorn belt of the middle
west. The grain sorghums are more
certain Of producing good yields IN
good and bad years than is corn.
They are more cheaply cultivated.
They yield a better forage and IN
I larger quantities and more easy OF

All things considered the West
Texas farmer Is coming 60 wonder
WHY his land is not worth even more
per acre than the great corn farms
Of Iowa. He is particularly inter
ested in the building up Of the stock
feeding industry right here in Texas
so that the grain sorghums and for
age sorghums and alfalfa and cotton

SALESMAN SAYS

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4.-Reports

der, We're discredited today by police

The report was received by local

Stockton, arrived at the home of Web
er's uncle, j. C. Weber, 1914 Ave. &c,
and told of being picked up while hik-

Roads leading to the city were at
once patroled to prevent the escape
of the man while the report was in

Early this morning a man claiming
to be San Francisco salesman called
up police headquarters and declared
that he was the man who had given
the boys a ride and had told them that
he was the escaped bandit king as a
practical joke. Officers were sent to

HAY MARKE1 |
IMPROVES
GENERAL
TONE
Money From Alfalfa Grow
ers Is Finding Its Way In
to All Business Lines In
State.

The following is part Of the weekly
report of, the California Alfalfa Grow
ers' Exchange, which will be fouiid of
interest to the dairy and hay interests
of the county:
Business in alfalfa hay was active
during the week in all parts of tic
state. To the buying for current con-
sumption was added pretty general
demand for the replenishing of stocks
which had been very light and are still
far below normal for this time of the
year, the end of the producing season.
Compared with these requirements for
stocking up, the actual purchases made
so far are on the whole quite small
and the total of current receipts in the
central markets is still only about
equal to the requirements for current
consumption.
The improvement in the demand and
increase in volume of actual business
was most pronounced in the fruit and
grape growing districts of the San
Joaquin Valley, which districts have
become one of the most important con-
suming centers of marketing hay in
the state. This marked improvement
is undoubtedly the reflex of the return
of normal conditions and of prosperity
in these sections now being assured by
the safe gathering of their crs~.ss and
the satisfactory prices established for
them by the respective cooperative
marketing associations. The money
for these crops is now commencing to
come in and is fast bringing about a
big change in the buying power c.
these districts.
1t is this year more difficult than
usual at this. time to estimate he
amount of marketing hay Of standard
grades available for shipment during
the balance. of the crop year. The
production Of such hay is undoubtedly
below the general expectations of last
spring. SO far offerings of these bet
ter grades have not at any time been
as heavy as in other years, nor are
the indications at present that these
offerings will show an abnormal in
crease after this. \
The explanation is to be found in the
fact that in practically all of the i'm
portant producing sections of the state
an unusually large percentage OF the
hay produced was of damaged or in
ferior quality, not merchantable as
dairy hay. In the southern part of the
state most of this damaged and low
grade hay has been disposed of as fer
tilizer, but in the other sections the
location of which makes shipping of
this low grade hay prohibitive on ac-
count of the cost of baling and freight,
efforts are being made to bring in
feeders in sufficient numbers to use it
up. Our friends in Imperial Valley,
where there is most of this damaged
and low grade hay, tell us that their
prospects for securing considerable
cattle for this purpose. are quite en-
couraging.
There We're 720 tons of grain and
alfalfa hay received on the Los An
