Apparently the firmer* of South Car
otin! Mr* becoming more interested in
the hay crop. The growing of alfalfa,
the beet of hay plants, is being ex
ploited. Interest is manifested in oats
and vetch, a winter season hay crop.
Moreover, many of the farmers of the
State still have the bad practice of pull
ing fodder, an unprofitable business.
Sudan grass, perhaps the original
form of sorghum, is a promising hay
plant. The stems are much finer than
aorghum and hence is cured quicker.
It has a shorter period of growth, ma
turing a crop in about six weeks. This
quick growth makes it particularly
valuable both for an early crop of hay
and fora good yield when sown late in
the season. This quality makes it
valuable to sow after oats, as it will
mature a good crop of hay and be out
of the way in time to permit a good
preparation of the land for the early
planting of any fall crops. As it cures
quickly, there is less danger of serious
damage by rain.
Sudan grass is an annual and grows
during the summer season. It does
not become a weed, as is the case with
Johnson grass. The seed weigh about
thirty-two pounds to the bushel and
for aowing broadcast for hay, about
onaand a half bushels should be sown
to the acre. For growing a seed crop
it b boat to plant in drills Five to ten
v pounds of seed to the acre will be suf-

Svject Nijt Ye«r'» Cotton Seed Now.
Now is the time to select the cotton
seed for planting next spring, or at
least for selecting sufficient for a seed
patch next year on which to grow seed
for the following year. It is not much
trouble to go through the cotton fields
and mark enough stalks to plant a seed
patch next spring, even if it is too much
trouble to select sufficient seed for the
whole crop.
From observation we are convinced
that many fanners make a serious mis
take when they select seed by failing
to give consideration to all the impor
tant characters desirable m a plant. Or
S,tn[ing the case differently, they make
the mistake of giving undue prominence
to one particular character. An exam
ple of this error is found in selecting
the large ear of corn without regard to
other characters of ear and stalk, or in
N %
selecting cotton having five locks to the
boll without regard to the other charac
ters equally or more important.
One important point w hich should re
ceive more attention in selecting cotton
seed is to avoid taking seed from stalks
that are not free from disease —The
Progressive Farmer.

A Difference In Roads.
Two farmers living In separate
counties, but at an equal distance
from the cotton market, learned by
telephone that cotton had advanced In
price $1 per bale. The farmer living
on a bad road, according to Arkansas
Homestead, responded by hauling one
bale of cotton, which was all he could
get over the unimproved road, while
the other farmer was able to haul
four bales, owing to favorable road
conditions. The rise In price gained
a profit of $4 to one man and $1 to
his neighbor.
Auto Owners Contribute.
