has rapidly increased until In 1918 the
value Of the crop in the United States

it's popularity Is said to be greater
here than in Its native county. It ig
particularly well adapted to semi

Getty have given extensive informa-
ton regarding the history, adaptation
growing, and utilization Of this plant
and some related grasses. Sudan, how.
ever, is far the most important, and
the others are treated only briefly
This new grass has proved best adapt

Sudan grass Is admirably adapted
for use as an emergency hay crop, and
Is rapidly supplanting millet in many
states. It Is being used successfully
by thousands Of farmers rs summer
pasture. For this purpose there are
few crops that give better returns and
serve 80 we'll to supplement the per-
manent pastures and the feed lot.
The bulletin outlines the results Of
numerous feeding experiments with
sudan grass. In these experiments
It was demonstrated that sudan grass
hay compares very favorably with
other well-known hays In feeding
value, especially rs roughage for
work horses and stock cattle.
At present, seed production is I'M
profitable on account Of low yields and
uncertain prices. Yields Of seed are
highest in western Texas and in the
irrigated regions Of New Mexico, Ari.

seed II great deal Of care Is necessary
to prevent the hybrldlzation with the

Mexican Petroleum Weak.

Extreme weakness marked yesterdays
trading In Mexican Petroleum shares,
which declined from an opening above
12o to low point of 11Sss. closing with
a net loss OF more than 6 points. The
selling was predicated on stories circu-
lated in the financial district to the ef-
feet that the big oil we'll which the COM
pany recently brought in, said to be the
biggest producing well in the company's
history, has developed into a gasser, and
that another well brought in in the same
district has gone to salt water already.
The big well, about which so much has
been heard, and announcement of which
resulted in a rise of seven or eight points
in the stock, was said to have had the
unprecedented pressure of 10000 pounds
to the square inch. 1t is that well which,
it was said yesterday, proved to be a
producer of 15,000.0O0 cubic feet of gas
daily, with 1000 barrels of oil sprayed.
The other well, known as TERRA Blanca
No. 3. was said TO. have turned into a
salt water producer at 2.2s7 feet. Of
