Tho grow ing of ulfa.fa, the best of huy pium* is being exploited. Intercut In mun jiosied lu oat* and vetch, u winter ttuuuin hay crop. Mordbver, many of Ihe /armors of the State still iiu r e the hud pructlco of pulling fod der, an unprofitable business, Sudan grass, perhaps the original form of sorghum, Is a promising huy plant. The stems are much fi ner than sorghum and hence It cures quicker. It has u Hhorter period of growth, maturing a crop lu about six weeks. This quick growth mukeu It valuable both for an our* ly crop of hay and for u good yield when sown lute in the season. This quality makes It valuable to *ow af ter ouis, uh it will mature a good crop of hay and be out of the way lu time t.o permit a good prepara tion of the land for the early plant ing of any fall crops. As it cures quickly, there is less danger of se rious damage by rain. Sudan grusa is an annual and it grown during the summer season. It.doeu not become a weed, as is tho case with Johnson grass. Tlie seed weigh about thirty-two pounds to the bushel and for sowing broad cast for huy, about one and u half bushels should be sown to the acre. For growing a seed crop, It Is best to plaut in drills. Five or tea lbs of seed to the acre will *>e auficiont for a good stand. Whon planted in drills, one or two cultivations should bo given, but the drills should bo just as close as will permit easy tillage. Sudan grans grows from three to five feet tali and the stems have abundant leaves. It is hardy and it is very easy to get a good stand. It seeds abundantly ho that when generally grown the seed will bo cheap. Sudan grass shopld make a more attractive market hay than the oth er plants being grown at present. It may bo fed to all kinds of live stock and tho animals are fond of It. Evidently thin plant, a recent Importation of tho Unied States de partment of Agriculture, will bo a valuable addition to most of the farms in the state. It may lesson and oven stop the unprofitable prac tice of pulling fodder. The planting season is very long, extending frorti corn planting time til August. it will be noted Ibat Sudau grab* ha* many desirable qualliittf us a <?Hy plant. it grows rapidly, givinfc a good yield of hay in a short time. A good stand la eubily secured auu and the com of needing small, i'ue stems being fine, it cures quick ly, lessening the risk of injury from exposure to the weather. The abun daucti^of leaves gives hay of excel lent quality relished by all kinds of stock, There Is* a season of sever ai months in which to fiud a cou* yenlent time to grow It and in this way it can be made to supplement our standard crops rather than com* pete with tbei^i. Kb qualities re commend it as a market hay as well an a good Irtfy for the fur in. The seed are not plentiful as yet, but five pounds to start with would soon provide uil the seqi) a farm would need. , This plaut may bo grown on the soils of ?outh Carolina JuSt as they are. You do not have to make the soils over in order to grow it. Neither liming nor Inoculation is uecessary to success. It is just as easy to grow as any of the crops we now produce. The seed are about th size of sorghum seed and may be plantel about the same depth. A corn planter with a sorghum plate may be used for planting in the drill. When sown broadcast, the seed may be coveted with a harrow. NOTES PItOM CLEMSON. Homo Coining Week Planned For Old Clemson Student*. Clemson, 8.

In view of the great demand for work altjng poultry lines, the board carefully considered the project of adding poultiy Husbandry to the work of the Agricultural Departmen and Extension Division. However, they abandoned the Idea because of the lack of funds, and In view of the fact that tJitL budget for public State work this year already amounts to $110,000, which Is more than the college can afford to risk becauHe of the uncertainty of ferti lizer tax. The board also ? decided to abolish the preparatory class af ter this session. A. M. T. I. "IMI> * OOTTON .CHOP BULhRTlN Numer of I la lee Ginned Prior to ' * Octobber 18, I Will. Abbeville . . . .
