Sudan OF Weed Seed?

Manhattan, Kans., March 29.-Be-
cause Sudan grass seed so much re-
sembles the seed of Johnson grass
that none but an expert can dis
tinguish the difference, farmers who
intend TO plant the former are ad-
vised by agricultural college special
lists to have samples analysed. Seed
is tested by the college free of charge
for any citizens of the state making
application.
Sudan grass is valuable crop and
produces large yields of excellent
hay and furnishes abundant pasture
throughout the summer Johnson
grass is a serious weed 1t differs
from Sudan grass in that it has. root
stalks which live over winter and
from which new plants start early in
the spring.
1t is impossible to kill Johnson
grass root stalks by cultivation, con-
sequently Johnson grass plants keep
coming up in any crop that may be
grown on the land. Where Johnson
grass has become bad it has been nee
essary to abandon the land.
Sudan grass is an annual. 1t
grows only from the seed and will not
grow up the second year to interfere
with other crops.
The only way to obtain pure Sudan
grass seed is to secure it from field
that contained no plants of Johnson
grass. The seed must also have been
threshed and handled in such way
as to prevent mixture with Johnson
grass.
At present there is comparatively
little Johnson grass in Kansas. Sudan
grass seed is produced in large quaint
tiles in Oklahoma and Texas. 1t is
therefore essential that farmers in
Kansas know where the Sudan grass
seed they plant comes from.

Draw Farm Building Plans

Manhattan, Kan, March 29.-With
the prospective building boom sched-
uled for the spring spreading to the
rural districts, comes the demand
from the farmers for up-to-date plans
for their new barns, poultry houses,
sheds, or, among those more FORUM
ate, the new house, to be the mater
ialization of dream of long dura-
ton. To meet this demand, COM
paratively new service has been open
ed in the extension division of the
Kansas State Agricultural College
that of extension architecture.
News of this service is spreading,
through the agency of the county
farm bureaus, and letters come into
the office of Walter G. Ward, extern
sion architect, every day from farm
ers over the state, asking for practical
suggestions and plans for new build
ings.
Nine plans have been completed
and are now ready for distribution.
Included in these are two farm
houses, a general purpose barn, a hay
and cattle barn, four poultry houses
and machine shed.
Furnished with some of the plans
are directions for building and bill
of materials. Copies of the plans ARE
sent to the county farm bureaus and
are on file with the agent for the in
spection of the farmers of the county.

Each member of the executive

Kasas Grain to Sufferers of Near
East

Kansas farmers have answered the
call for food for the starving peoples
of the Near East. Every farmers
organization in the state is behind
the movement which will raise hum
dred car loads of grain to be sent by

citation, National Wheat Growers
Association, the Kansas Grange,

and kafir corn will be accepted. The
elevators of the state have agreed to
receive and load the corn free of
charge; the railways have agreed to
ship it free; the railway brotherhoods
have agreed to donate their time IN
transporting the grain and arrange
ments have been made for ocean
transportation without charge against
the grain.
The grain elevators of Kansas are
prepared to handle the grain whether
it comes in one -bushel lots or in

K. S. F. B. ASKS EMBARGO ON
FOREIGN PRODUCTS
President Harding Requested to Put
Ban on Farm Commodities
Pending LEGISLATION

Pending Legislation
Manhattan, Kan, March 29-Kan-
sas State Farm Bureau has wired
President Harding asking him to
place an embargo on the importation
of foreign wool, hides, meat, and
grain, until Congress has an oppor-
tunity to act.
The state farm bureau is cooper
ating with Kansas Live Stock Associa-
ton and other farmers organizations
in asking this embargo, since it has
been pointed out that large quaint
ties of frozen meat and foreign
grown wool are on ships headed for
America.
Among the items which are seeking
entrance into the United States is a
consignment of more than 100000,
900 pounds of wool The wool market
of this country is already congested
and there are millions of pounds of
native grown wool in storage waiting
for the market to open. The con-
signment, said to be headed for the
United States, is equal to one-sixth
of the total wool consumed in this
country.
The rate of foreign exchange is so
low that there is special fnducement
to other countries to throw this wool
on the American market. 1t is be-
Heved that these great quantities are
being shipped in an effort by foreign
nations to get the wool landed be-
fore a tariff can be enacted by the
new administration.
