PAGB SIX RTTTA T TTPTNOfl Thursday, April 27, 191 a FRUIT and FARAD SI' DAN GRASS fly F. C. Relmer, Southern Oregon Experiment Station, Talent, Oregon. Sudan grass is unquestionally the greatest hay plant that has been In troduced into tho United States since the introduction of alfalfa. This plant promises to become a leading factor In the agriculture of the Pacific Coast, and In the south ern states. In many sections and on many soils It will probably become the leading hay crop. History Sudan grass Is a native of Sudan, Egypt, where it has long been growing under such, adverse cli matic conditions that It has develop ed remarkable drough-resistlng char acteristics. A small quantity of seed of this plant was Introduced Into the Vnited States in 1909, by the U. S. department of agriculture. This seed was planted in an experimental way In the dry region of western Texas, where the plants made such a re markable growth that it attracted unusual attention. Since that time It has been tried In various sections of the United States, and has given very satisfactory results In all ex cept tho most northern states. Characteristics of Sudan GraRS Sudan grass belongs to the sorghum family. As it Is not a legume It can not gather nitrogen from the air, as do alfalfa, clover, vetches, and peas. It Is an annual, hence must be re sceded every year. It is quite tender and is readily killed by heavy frosts. The plant stools very freely, a single plant oftens producing 100 or more stems. Under vory favorable condi tions it will grow to a height of ten feet. It can be cut repeatedly without killing the plant. In the southern states it Is usually cut three or four times during the season, while In this valley, owing to our short seasons, we have been able to get only two cuttings; that is, where the first cut ting Is not made until the plant is In bloom. Where the plants are cut as soon as they are three or four feet high, three cuttings can be obtained here. Chemical analysis shows that Su dan grass ranks high In food value. While it is not equal In composition to good alfalfa hay it Is fully equal to the best timothy hay.

Sudan Grass In This Valley Dur ing the past summer the Southern Oregon Experimental Station con ducted extensive experiments with Sudan grass, both at the station farm and in co-operation with a number of farmers throughout the valley. The results were extremely satisfac tory. Two cuttings were obtained 'from seed sown on May 5, The first cutting on the unirrigated plot aver aged from five to six feet high and yielded at the rate of 4772 pounds per acre; while' the Irrigated plot averaged from seven to eight feet high, and produced at the rate of 7705 pounds per acre. Many of the plants on the irrigated plot wore over nine feet high. The second cutting, just before frost, averaged three feet high and produced approximately one and one-half tons per acre. This hay was relished by horses and cows. Another planting was made on July 19, on land from yhich a crop of wheat hay had just been removed. This was grown on especially good soil, the seed was planted in rows, and the land was thoroughly IrrI gated. The crop was cut October 2, when it was seven and one-half feet high, and yielded approximately three and one-half tons per acre. Cultural Directions The seed should not be sown until the ground Is warm and danger from heavy frosts Is past. The later part of April or the first of May is sufficiently early for the first planting. 'Where irrigation is not practiced early planting will give the best results. Where Irrigation is available the seeds can be planted any time between the first of May and the latter part of July. The late planting, of course, will give only one cutting. Sudan grass can be grown in rows 3 feet apart, which will require from four to five pounds of seed per acre, or it may be sown broadcast or drill ed In with a regular grain drill, which would require 15 to 25 pounds per acre. Since each plant stools enormously only a small quantity of seed la required to sow an acre. Two years ago the seed sold for $1.00 per pound. It can now be had for about 15 cents per pound. This plant is a good seed producer in this valley, and one man produced a large quan tity of seed near Brownsboro last year. Sudan grass is of great value in this valley because of its great drought resisting qualities. It can be grown on many soils which are too dry during the summer months for the production of other forage plants. It will be of special value on shallow soils which are inclined to be droughty. On dry soils, and where irrigation is not practiced, the seed can be sown about the first of May. Whore irrigation is practiced a crop of grain and vetch hay may be grown during the fall, winter and spring months, and a crop of Sudan grass during the summer months. While Sudan grass is one of the greatest drought resisters known our results show that It will yield con- We Are Forging Ahead In our business "because we under stand it thoroughly.

Conclusion In conclusion I should like to ad vise every farmer In this valley to plant at least a small quantity of Su dan grass this year. It will prove revelation to most farmers. The seed can be purchased from local seed dealers. It is well known that alfalfa is king of all forage plants on deep, fertile, well-drained, moist soils. On soils which will produce abundant crops of alfalfa, this crop is preferred to Sudan grass. Where conditions are not favorable for abundant crops of alfalfa, Sudan grass will prove the most satisfactory forage crop to be grown during the summer months. Don'ts for Local Tennis Players Tennis enthusiasts are getting out the old racquets and heading for the private tennis courts and the public courts in Lithia Park. For the bene fit of the Ignorant the following don'ts for tennis players, as compiled by the tennis expert of the Sacra- lticnto Bee, are reproduced: Don't go into a game without an alibi. Don't throw your racquet unless the other fellow can't fight. Don't trust anyone on the other courts; they make a business of steal ing balls. Don't swear unless you can make it sound like a nice, genteel pirate or a printer that has just pied a galley of type. Don't hit the ball out of bounds in singles and then say you thought you were playing doubles. Don't let a pretty girl beat you. Don't run after the ball when you have sliced a fungo half a block over the back fence. Don't admit the ball is In bounds when there is any possible chance of buncoing the other guy. Don't hesitate to complain about the way they let the sun shine in your eyes. Don't change your slroes when there are "ladies" around unless you are absolutely certain as to the char acter of your socks. Don't hesitate to tell about how well you used to play. Don't have any "bones" about claiming you meant it when the ball hits the top of the net and just rolls over the other side to score for you. Don't tell the truth when you have the court and someone wants to know what the game score is. Don't see your neighbor's ball when it rolls In your territory, or you'll have to exert yourself to retrieve it for him. Don't hesitate to yell the game score as loud as you can when you're ahead.
