BY u. T.. CREIGHTON
Assistant Farm Advisor

During these ShCrt days of balmy
bright sunshine and growing tenn
peraturcs. with snappy nights that
nip peas in the bud but cause let
tuce and cabbage TO so merrily on
making themselves heady, the com
bines" are busy doing an excellent
Job of harvesting grain sorglums.
The frosts which arc bit late this
year have aided in drying the plants
SIS that an excellent separation is
secured without any slowing down
or leSsening Of the acreage har-
vested.
Milo grown from seed brought in
by the Farm Advisors office two
years ago has been consistent in its
high yield, much of it turning off
as much as 1900 lbs. OF threShed
grain per acre, in its uniformity OF
height and freedom from sucklings.
Where the above yields were got
ten, the crop was planted unusually
thick. five pounds OF seed per acre,
the land watered heavily and q
long growing season Of I50-l75 days
required. Where feeder cattle or
sheep are available the harvesting
cost should be realized from forage
otherwise the land will be worked
and cropped 10 alfalfa and IN some
instances grain. Grain sometimes
suffers considerable injury due 10
the bacterial activity fed by the
sugars in the roots and stalks Of
the sorghum. When these sugars
are exhausted the bacteria then
compete with the growing plants
for available food.
A losing battle for both the
growing grain and the bacterial
flora IS often the result. Alfalfa
suffers little or no injury from the
grain or saccharin S orglums and
makes an ideal crop sequence where
dairy or stock feeding is to follow.
The market hay maker should avoid
the sorghums for the hay will be
fouled for one and often two years
by volunteer growth. Double crop
ping with small grains and grain
Sorghuns has been followed but 1t
is very exhaustive Of soil fertility
and per acre yields are rapidly
lowered. However. it may be inter
eSting to note that good results have
followed such practice for periods
Of nearly ten years. Barley grow
ers recognize that this crop is COM
paratively easy on the land and
may be grown successfully for
number OF years without lowered
yields. Land rentals have Giscour-
aged grain growing somewhat since
the cattle feeder and vegetable
grower prefers land which is in al
falfa. Quite a change may be not
ed in the acreages Of important
crops.
A few figures showing crop ac-
reage should prove interesting:

Insects Garry Destruction
Through Posey County.

MT. VERNON, Ind, Aug. 8.-Re-
lentless march of a great army OF
grasshoppers continued today, with
a quarter Of mile path of destruc-
ton in its path registered during
the twenty-four hour period ending
today.
The insect army in the Nisbet
station vicinity marched steadily
toward the Posey county line, leav-
ing ruined crops in its wake.
Thus far no method of hating
the march or destroying the pest
has proved effective. Sixty acres
have been eaten over as completely
as though a fire had swept the ter
rain.
Rain was looked upon as the only
hope of stemming the grasshopper
horde, as tile moisture would pro-
vide the means necessary for
spreading poison bran, which is con-
sidered the only practical and effec-
tive means employed in such work.
