Sudan Grass Will
Provide Pasture
One Acre Supports Three or
More Cows Until Frost;
Grows Fast.

BY Earl Jones, Extension Specialist in
Agronomy, Ohio State Universlty.-WNU
Service.
Sudan grass, brought to America
from Africa, promises to earn prom
inent place in agriculture. A dry
weather crop, it furnishes pasture
grass when the native blue grass sue
cumbs to drought. One acre of the
crop will support three or more cows
until frost. 1t is ready for pasturing
five to seven weeks after seeding.
Sudan grass can be depended upon
for midsummer pasture for sheep and
dairy cattle, and seed cost is not large.
It provides pasture during the sea-
son that blue grass is in it's resting
period. Early preparation of the
seeded has proved important, and
seeding should not be delayed longer
than is necessary.
Only one serious criticism has been
offered of sudan grass. 1t is some
times difficult to obtain a perfect
stand. This fault can be corrected
by shallow covering Of the seed, by
breaking up the soil crusts before
termination, and by using good seed.
The grass makes a good growth on
unproductive soils, and on rich soils
attains a height of six or seven feet
If allowed to go ungrazed.
Pasturing may be begun at II to 10
inches, a height attained usually five
to seven weeks after seeding. Pastur-
ing after frost is not recommended.
Reports tell of cattle being poisoned
by grazing on frosted sudan grass.
In addition to furnishing pasture,
the plant also may be harvested for
hay when waist high. 1t has about
the same feeding value as good timo-
thy, and presents no special curing
problems.
The fertilizer treatment recommend
ed consists of $50 to 200 pounds OF
2-12-e or 4-12-4 on relatively poor soils
at seeding time. Later, IS to 100
pounds an acre of sulfate of am
monia or other heterogeneous fertilizer
is recommended for a top dressing, If
growth is slow or the pasture Is
heavily stocked.

SYNOPSIS

Seeking death to escape dishonor at
the hands of a drunken desperate,
Sonya Savarin allows herself to be res
cued by her suddenly repentant at"
tacker. The girl Is a self-appointed
physician to the Navajo Indians, living
on an Arizona sheep ranch with her
brother Serge, his wife, Lila, and their
small daughter, Babs. She is engaged
to Rodney Blake, wealthy New Yorker,
but her heart Is with the friendless
Navajos and she evades a wedding.
Sonya pulls little Moon, wife of Two
Fingers, a Navajo, through the crisis
of an illness. Two Fingers is deeply
grateful. Sonya again meets the man
whose advances she had repulsed on
Lone Mesa. He tells her he bitterly
regrets his action. Sonya is affected,
but unforgiving. She hears rumors of
a Border bandit Eel Captain Diablo,"
and vaguely connects him with her
attacker. On Lone Mesa she again
comes upon the strange young man.
When he reiterates his sorrow over his
misconduct, she indicates forgiveness
and urges him to abandon his life of
lawlessness. From concealment, Sonya
witnesses the transference of objects
from an airship to her attacker At a
dance she demands that he tell her his
name. He says he is Starr Stone, that
his mother believes him dead, and that
he goes by a different name in this
region. He leaves the dance with a
TALL fierce Mexican, with whom he is
mysteriously associated. Sonya real
ICES she is falling in love with a man
whom she can only class as renegade
and outlaw, and that she can never
marry Blake.

And as she left the straggly small
dot of civilization under the thin sickle
of new moon she came upon a tiny

feet shuffling in the white sand, bore
two packs and a rider, the latter a

beside him.

"Just so. Just so. And strength

Just so. They all come to the knees

Sonya swallowed painfully. Her
eyes felt blurred again with the ex-
element suddenly in her.
"Ten me-" she said slowly, "tell me
again-where was he?"
The Servant waved an airy old
hand, fine Of line and yellow as parch-
ment.
"By stream" he said vaguely, ito

bid you good night, daughter. We must
be getting on"
He bowed politely, and the burros
battered away.
Sonya stepped on the starter and
bounced ahead.
So. He was In the country again.
He would be here, somewhere, some
time. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe next
day. The winds that blew softly up
from the south famed her face with a
perfumed breath; the little moon was
fair as maiden's brow; there were
mystery and ecstasy in every shadow

TRUE HUMOR NOT
OFTEN ACHIEVED
BY FORCED WIT

The one great quality that a hui
morist must have is an insight into
human nature. Some, like Mark
Twain, develop it through a life Of
varied occupations and interests.
Such writers keep themselves FRESH
and interesting by getting out among
people Of many and different kinds
in different sections of the country.
They are constantly restoring them
selves. Perhaps humorist, to be
at his best, should be also rolling
stone. Certainly many Of the best
have, been.
1t is possible, but 1t may not be so
easy, to acquire wit and wisdom by
staying at home. But a writer with
aspirations to humor can very infre
quently reach high level by rack
ing his brains for odd. SMILES, bright
wisecracks and strained nonsense.

Handling Chopped Hay

Since chopping of hay is being done
more generally farmers need to take
into consideration the fact that ton
of chopped hay takes only about 200
cubic feet of NOW room while ton Of
long or loose hay takes 800 feet. Be
cause many mows are not built to hold
the excess weight which is possible
when the hay is chopped, care must
be taken not to overload mows. There
is also tendency for chopped hay to
heat more than long or loose hay I'M
less 1t is well cured.

True humor is not achieved thus, no
matter how conscientiously one may
try.
This is not to say that topical hui
NOR, based on the news of the day,
cannot reach literary heights It
sometimes does, as witness Finley

were almost wholly confined to sub

30-odd years ago, but his shrewd sa-
gacity and homely philosophy render
his comments pertinent to events Of

Home Loan Office
 Does Big Business
70 Loans Granted Since Opening-Taxes Paid to
 City Amount to S52.2I8.O4

Since it's beginning last fall, the Waterbury office of the Home Owners Loan corporation has granted 37O loans. totalling in value the sum of $1,562,913.
 Since the beginning of this year business at the office has jumped a great deal, according to Manager John Burns. Applications still con. tinue to pour in, as the office force is doing it's best to complete those already being sent through.
 The latest report of the Water- bry office, which includes business of last Saturday, shows that the city of Waterbury has profited by the receipt of $52,21S.O4 in taxes. Taxes paid in nearby towns amounted to almost $25,00O. The total taxes paid through the. office is more than $76,000.
 An analysis of the 370 loans which have been made show that the bonds on 79 of these went to individuals, 157 to banks and like institutions, and 133 to closed banks.
 Particularly noticeable during the first two, months of the year has been the much increased will lingness to accept Home Loan bonds. Instead of turning a cold shoulder to the bonds as. they did last fall mortgage holders are now glad to secure them.

FRANCE MAY
 GET BLUE LAWS
Crusade Now Underway to Restore the Christian
 Sabbath


 Paris-(UP) - A crusade has been launched in France to insti- ute a set of Blue Sunday laws "to restore the Christian Sab bath" While no one expects the movement to meet with success, it proves that the puritanical in- stinct, supposed-s dead, exists in the country celebrated for its spirit of freedom.
 For third of century, French Protestants have been crusading for more religious observance of Sunday, but since the crusaders represent only two and 8 half per cent of the popu- lation, their efforts have consis- tently met failure.
 Now, however ,the campaign is taken up by the Roman Catholics, headed by Mgr. Mignen, Arch bishop of Rennes, Primate of Brittany. In his official paper, he sounds the tocsin against the pagan Sunday. His appeal con- cludes with the following re- marks:
 "May our frivolous century fi- nally understand the benefits of the Christian. Sunday. A nation which no longer respects the Lords Day is doomed to every decadence, to sceptieism, to self isness, to anarchy. Let us all work to restore the Christian Sabbath. Let us suppress every unnecessary activity, even the buying of goods and fhaking of voyages on Sunday. To the Festivals of Tell let us op- pose the Festivals of Heaven until the Great Sunday dawns which shall continue the eternal glory of the chaste and saintly joys of our pious Sundays on earth"
 The movement is gathering force, and the participants of the truly Continental Sabbath continue to enjoy their liberty against the day when their freedom may be
