Still Causes Trouble

Fire was discovered In an old
crosscut on the 1650-foot level of
the Con. Virginia mine last Tuesday
afternoon, but fortunately 1t was
found In time, and prompt measures
taken TO suppress the flames and
confine them to a very limited area.
This has been successful, IL was re-
ported from the mine today, and the
delay In operations in that section
OF the mine will be only temporary
The fire was In an old crosseut
leading to an airway connection,
but was bulkheaded at one end. and
was not being used in the present
operations. Water was poured on
to the flames by means of hose lines
and concrete bulkheads have been
placed at both ends of the crosscut
so that the area has been tightly
sealed.
What started the fire is not
known, but II is believed to have
probably worked up from below
from the old burned area OF forty
years ago. a portion of the crosscut
having been driven through an old
stope, which contained much COM

States The u. 8. Department of
Agriculture in 1903 introduced this
plant from Sudan, Egypt The OBJ
ject of this introduction was to Sc
cure a vigorous growing plant re-
sembling Johnson grass, but which
would not spread by means of un-
derground root stalks. thereby max
ing itself a pest such as Johnson
grass becomes. Since the inrtoduc-
tion of Sudan grass into the United
States, it has been found to be
adapted to a great number of soils
and climatic conditions. II yields
well as a seed crop and as hay crop
and recently 1t has been used quite
successfully as a grazing crop. The
accompanying picture taken on the
Clausen and Johnson ranch in the
Wildes district shows cattle grazing
Sudan grass last year. Mr.. Johnson
stated that he cut one good crop of
hay from a three-acre field and
grazed seven head of cattle the rest
of the summer with very excellent
results. A large number of ranch
ers of the valley are preparing to
grow Sudan grass this summer for
COW pasture. 1t will no doubt prove
a very profitable crop and serve to
vary the ration and add succulence
for the dairy cattle. Last fall the
