Apparently the furuier* of South
Curoilua uro bosoming more inier
ooctq tii the hu> crop. 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.

Homo Coining Week Planned For
Old Clemson Student*.
Clemson, 8. C., Nov. 25.-? -Clemson
students have been very fortunate
In having Dr. Weatherford with
them this week. Dr. Weatherford,
who is now executive secretary of
the International College Y. M. C.
A. is a very able man. Ills series
of lectures will deal with practical
problems in student life and the Y.
Ai, C. A. here at Clemson Is doing
all It can to get as many men a?
possible to attend these lectures.
The Association is making a des
perate effort to better conditions in
barracks life here and the good
work they have and are doing is be
ginning to show up already.
A meeting of the board of trus
tees was held here at college on
last Wednesday morning, all mem
bers of board being present except
Senator Tillman and Mr. Evans, de
ceased. Congressman Lever met
with the board for his first time,
having been recently elected a life
trustee to take the place made va
cant by the death of Col. R. W.
Simpson.
A Home Coming week for ex
Clemson students was authorized by
the -board, and it will 'likely take
place in August, 1914, In commem

the Act of Acceptance of 'the Clem

yearn punt has been the efficient
bookkeeper lor the college, was *p

1914.
Mr. F. O. Davis, of Newberry,
wan selected to succeed Mr. Ifivans
hh bookkeeper.
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.
