' . f VALUABLE AS GREEN FODDER Opinion of Growerg of Sudan Grass It That It Will Largely Take Place of Millet and Sorghum. Most of. the earlier accounts of Su dan grass failed to make clear that this new crop Is nothing more or less than a fine-stemmed, nonsaccharlne sorghum. It has most of the charac teristics of the ordinary sorghum, and Its requirements as regards soil and climate are similar except that the Su dan grass differs from sorghums by maturing earlier and having such fine stems that It Is readily cured into hay. Experiments made at the Kentucky state station In 1915 produced a crop of eight tons per acre of dry hay In W ,. ' u-'fiTl Sudan Grass in Texas. two cuttings. This exceptionally high If-- yield was made possible by unusually be provided in order to maintain re fertile soil and good culture. The 8BrTpg and keen the fighting units up plots were drilled about the middle of Muy, using 20 to 25 pounds of seed to the acre, seeded with an ordinary otner demand for further augmenta Sin drill. Mr Inter. The first crop was cut when the Su- dan gross was fully headed, and the second crop In time to avoid the first frost. Where Sudan grass has been grown for two or three years it Is the opln- ion of the growers that it will largely take the place of millet and sorghum for fodder purposes, and also be valu- able, as a-green fodder to cut for sup plementing pasture.

There are twelve fortnightly periods in the training course for youth of this class.

Participation in these Is compulsory. At the outset every young man is Inoculated, vaccinated and given a thorough dentul overhauling. This limits the possible activities of .many of them during the first six weeks or their training. After these preliminary troubles are over, the organizations settle Into A regular scheme Involving 84 hours' work per fortnight, or six hours' work dally, including Sunday. How the Work Is Divided. At this stage of his training the re- cruit gets in each fortnightly period ten hours of general physical training, Li, hours of bayonet exercises, 18 hours 0( sqund drill, 18 hours of musketry and rnnge practice, two hours devoted to interior economy, three hours on night work, three hours on guard duty, two hours on antlgas training, three hours of route marching without packs, two hours for specinl lectures and 14 hours for games and education. Every soldier must learn all about taking care of his clothes, kit and equipment and instruction In these de partments Is referred to as "lnter'or economy." Then It is necessary to give very careful Instruction In the Im- portance of discipline as a military fac- tor, hygiene, sanitation, first aid and minor' casualties, trench warfare, con cealment and co-operation of Infantry H"'erj Hircrau. course must not be underestimated.

During the first four weeks of the course route marching with kits is for bidden, lest It Impose too heavy a phys ical strain. After they are properly conditioned they are gradually broken Into these heavier phases of duty, and the fourth fortnight's training In run ning and route marching with kits be gins ; also bombing practice with dum my bombs. This Is followed by the beginning of general musketry practice and studies In field engineering. Offi cers In these boy battalions are direct ed to take note of the special aptitude of their recruits for particular kinds of service with the purpose of giving them training for noncommissioned officers, and ultimately for commis sions. Youngsters of poor physique or weak health are especially classified and are given a number of weeks of special light training with the purpose of building them up before they shall un dertake the serious work of being turned Jnto soldiers. In this regard alone the benefits accruing to many thousands of young men have been In' calculable. WORK BEGINS ON VAST AIR FLEET Government Plan Calls for Huge Planes for an Army of 110,000 Fliers.

Ion, writes Henry M. Hyde In the Chi cago Tribune. With the signing by President W1I son of the bill appropriating $040,- 000,000 for building, equipping, and manning an enormous navy of the air, these plans took a big step toward realization. Huge triplanes of the power, speed, and weight carrying capacity described have been built and now are being tested In Italy. Triplanes of the same type, considerably smaller than the new giants but still of great size and power, now are in actual use in Italy. The Italian trlplane, driven by 000 horse power Capronl engines, for In stance, will make a military load of more than three tons to a height of 6,500 feet In 35 minutes. Defeat of U-Boats Seen. The-fact that these great machines cost $40,000 or more each will not pre vent their being built In large numbers In the United States, once the neces sary jigs, dies, and special tools are completed from the models furnished by the Italian government. Many experts see in the creation of a fleet of such big airships, together with five or six times as many small fighting planes for their protection, the only certain method of defeating the submarine peril, of destroying muni tion plants and military and naval bases, and of swiftly driving the Ger man army back behind the Rhine. "The program for which this vast appropriation has just been made," Bald Howard E. Coffin, chairman of the aircraft production board, "must be carried out with a promptness equal to that of congress In passing the bill Whatever crimes may later be laid at our doors, that of slowness In accom plishment must not be one of them. We are ready to go ahead at once. Airplane Samples Coming. "Within two weeks," went on Mr, Coffin, "samples of many airplanes now used by our allies on the Euro pean battle fronts will be on exhibi tion In the temporary building erect ed for the purpose at the rear of the Smithsonian Institution. There they may be examined and studied by the manufacturers of the United States. "In the matter of aircraft, as in oth er military matters, we have ceased to think nationally. Every Btep will be taken after conference and In full co-operation with our allies. "We are In dally conference with representatives of the British, French, and Italian flying corps here In Wash ington, and a decision practically has been reached as to the exact part to be played by each of the allies in win ning the war In the air. "Our factories, of course, will have the advantage of copying the latest and best types of airplane engines devolved in France, Italy and Eng land. Nor have our own Inventors and designers been Idle during the past three years.. There now are engines of entirely American design and Inven tion which weigh only two pounds to the horse power. Three Training Fields Ready Whatever may be the difficulty of turning out Immediately In the United States the swift and delicate fighting planes of the latest type, we already are manufacturing In large numbers planes which are fitted for the train ing of air pilots and observers. "Three of the 24 big aviation fields which we shall build for training our new air army already are completed, and the work of Instruction Is under way. The public, generally, has small Idea of the Immensity ot these great training camps for blrdmen. Camp Wilbur Wright, for Instance, located near Dayton, O., home of the Immortal Inventor of the heavler-than-alr flying machine, covers a tract of land meas uring two miles by four miles. hangars stretch unbroken for a dis tance of two miles. These buildings will house 144 biplanes for the use the embryo aviators. The United States will be the great training camp for aviators for all the allied armies. One may get a faint Idea of the al most Incredible expansion which proposed In the air branch of the mil itary and naval arm of the United States forces by considering that while now there are only a few more than fifty commissioned officers In the avi ation section of the signal corps of the army, it Is proposed to Increase It to a total of 110,000 officers and men.

"For seven long months I suffered from a female trouble, with Bevere pains in my back and sides until I became so weak I could hardly walk from chair to chair, and got so nervous I would jump at the slightest noise. I was entirely unfit to do my house work, I was giving up hope of ever be ing well, when my sister asked me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound.
