be highly important to produce a
reserve supply also.
A good season for hay produc-
| ton will help those who have al
ready planted. One method of in
oreaSing feed supplies is the plant
1 ing of one or more crops of quick
growing feed which can be used
for pasture during the summer
months and for hay or silage to
put up for the winter.
Sudan grass makes a satisfactory
summer pasture and produces
heavy yields of feed if given op-
portunity. Ii is a rather quick and
heavy growing feed and can be
used either for pasture or hay but
as it is rather difficult to handle
for hay is generally used for pas
ture.
Corn or any of the sweet Sorgh-
umS can be used for silage. They
can be fed green but ordinarily
give the best results when used for
Silage.
Permanent pastures are helpful
in aiding a feed situation but they
should be planted normally in the
fall or at least in the early spring
and consequently can not afford
much relief at present. For those
who already have them in, they
will be of value in providing feed
during the summer months, while
reserve supply of feed can be
harvested and stored for the WIN
ter.
An extensive use of pasture re-
duceS the necessity for silage. Dur
ing the past winter those who had
silage in reserve were fortunate
and those who did not appreciated
the importance of having such a
reserve supply.
Any of the silage crops can be
stored economically and satisfac-
torily in trench silos which may
be constructed at little cost. Since
feed is such an important item in
the cost of milk and butterfat
production. representing over hall
the total cost, dairymen should
watch their feed situation care
/ fully. said Gordon. An abundance
of roughage feeds should be pro-
/ duced to assure at an ample sup
ply of good feed at reasonable
cost.
In Imperial Valley honey sorgh-
um gives the highest yield accord
ing 10 repeated tests and may be
used as a silage mixture although
it is apt to turn sour more quickly
than such SorghumS as Atlas and
the local Hegira.
Sudan is an excellent summer
emergency pasture and in winter,
according 10 tests made at the
Meloland Experiment station, oats
and vetch make an excellent pas
ture crop. The mixture of one
pound oats TO six of vctch is seed
ed at the rate OF 60 pounds 10
the acre. If pasture and hay are
desired. purple vetCh is the best
variety to use. providing three win
ter pastures and crop Of hay al
terwsrds. For pasture alone, cal
caretta vetch is preferable accord
ing TO the experiments.

FARM TIPS
By l.. G.. GOAR
Il. v. Experimental Station)

To windroW or not to windrow
the flax crop is an undecided ques-
tion in the minds of many flax
growers right now. But a deci-
sion in most cases should not be
difficult. If the flax yield has a
good percentage of weeds or other
green material. and the flaXseed Is
now ripe, it would be advisable to
put the crop in windrowS at once
On the other hand, if the flax is
free of weeds, or contains only
such species as will become ma
ture and dry very soon, then COM
bining the standing flax will, no
doubt, prove most profitable. In
either case. do not delay the harv-
est after the flaXSeed and straw
is mature and dry. Whether or not
the flax straw has oeen contracted

as closely to the ground as prac-

Whether the rice that will be
planted in the Imperial Valley
this summer succeeds Or not will
| depend largely on the attention
that is given to details of the
crop during the critical periods.
The greatest obstacle to the grow
ing OF rice here is the excessive
sun n-checking of the grain which
occurs if it is exposed after reacn-
ing maturity. But this obstacle can
be overcome if provisions are made
for handling the crop as soon as
the grain is ripe, and before 1t
has had opportunity to dry out
completely.
The soils best adapted to rice
are the fine teXtured types of the
Imperial series, which will not
permit the rapid passage of wa
ter. Porous soils or soils underlain
with sand or gravel should be
/ avoided. Rice will tolerate more
alkali than most other crops, but
/ excessive surface accumulation will
interfere with termination and
growth, and should be reduced by
repeated irrigation before the rice
! is seeded.
AS the rice field must be sub
merged throughout the MAJOR part
of the growing season, the land
must be carefully levcled and
checked, SO that a uniform depth
| of water Of from 6 to 10 inches can
be maintained A good procedure
is to flood the checks to a depth
/ of to 6 inches and seed the rice
in the water This depth is MAN.
tanned until the ric" is established
and gradually increased to 8 inches
or more as the plant grows. A max
imum depth of $40 inches is main
/ tained from the time the rice be-
! gins to head until the kernels are
filled out and begin to harden. The
water should then be removed, SO
that the groun will be dry enough
TO support the harvesting machin-
cry by the time the rice is mature.
The seed bed for rice should
be smooth and we'll prepared
Rough surfaces are unfavorable to
the best termination and growth OF
rice Seeding should be done in
June, so that maturity will be de-
layed until after the period OF
highest temperature. A thick stand
is necessary to insure even ripen-
ing. To dc sure OF a perfect stand
plant l25 pounds or more per acre
of good fresh clean seed of known
high purity and termination quail

of medium or long-grain variety
should be planted in the Imperial

Peace Talk with Utilities

ID ESTRICTION of the constrM
IN ton and expansion activities o4
the privately owned public utilities
being recognized as an important
factor in the current business re-
cession, President Roosevelt began
a series of conferences with the
heads of these concerns. He seemed
to be in a conciliatory frame of
mind and sought to lessen the utili-
ties fear of the effect of govern
ment policies, but without making
any concessions. His first caller
was Wendell Wilkie, president of the
Commonwealth g. Southern corpora
ton, and next day he talked with
Floyd Carlisle of the Niagara Hud-
son Power corporation.
Though he appeared amiable, the
President at the same time was
sending to various congressional
committees and federal agencies
report by the New York state power
authority, whacking friends and
agents of the private utilities for
propaganda" against public power
development. 1t presented figures
to show the government could pro-
duce water power at much lower
cost than private utilities could pro-
duce power by steam plants.

Farm Bill Reported

MARVIN JONES of Texas, chair
A'A man of the house agricultural
committee, submitted the houses
farm bill, together with majority
report defending the measure and
calling for speedy enactment so that
the rise of mounting crop surpluses
which are depressing market prices
may be Offset.
The house bill is less drastic than
the senate version, but it was de-
nounced vigorously in minority
report which declared it was ''un-
constitutional, unsound, un-Ameri-
can" likely to work to the detri-
ment of American agriculture, and
threatening to "dislocate" foreign
and domestic markets.
Both house and senate bills, it was
predicted, would be modified be-
cause of the Presidents implied
threat to veto the legislation un-
less it was put on a "pay-as-you-
go" basis. He insisted the farm
bill must not interfere with his planS
to balance the budget.
