KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Quality First SLAVS in FRANC A VALUABLE FORAGE PLANT. The farmer of the Rogue valley Is most interested these days In the seeking after new crops that can be produced here with profit Interest Is especially keen concerning the pro duction ot forage, as with the in crease of activity in lumbering, in mining and in Industrial pursuits of various kinds there Is demand for more hay. than the valley has been producing. As a consequence the price of hay always touches a high point, from S18 to 1 20 per ton being common quotations. Sudan grass is recent importation ot which there are great expectations in this district. The director of the southern Oregon experiment station has made exhaus tive tests of this new forage plant, feeding value. The results of his tests are incorporated in the follow-1 lug report which he supplies the Courier: ' "During the past summer the southern Oregon experiment station conducted extensive exDerlments with i Sudan grass, both at the station farm ; prove the most satisfactory forage tor the production ot other forage plants. It will be ot 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 ot May. Where irrigation Is practiced a crop ot 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 ot the greatest drought resisters known, our results show that it will yield con siderably more with irrigation than without. "In conclusion I should like to ad vise every farmer in this valley to plant at least a small quantity ot Sudan grass this year. It will prove a revelation to most farmers. The seed can be purchased from local seed dealers. "It is well known that alfalfa is king ot all forage plants on deep, fertile, well drained, moist soils. On soils which will produce abundant crops of alfalfa this crop is prefer red to Sudan grass? Where condi tions are not favorable for abundant crops of alfalfa Sudan grass will uua m co-operauon wna of farmers throughout the valley. The : months." results were extremely satisfactory. Two cuttings were obtained from seed sown on May 5. The first cut ting on the nnirrigated plot averaged from five to six feet high and yielded at the rate of 4,772 ponnds per acre; whOe the Irrigated plot averaged from seven to eight feet high, and produced at the rate ot 7,705 pounds per acre. Many of the plants on the irrigated plot were over nine feet high. The second cutting, Just be fore frost, averaged three feet high, and produced approximately one and one-halt ton per acre. This hay was relished by horses and cows. "Another planting was made on July 19, on land from which a crop ot wheat hay had Just been removed. This was grown on especially good soil, the seed was planted in rows, and the land was thoroughly lrrl gated. The crop was cut October 2, when it was six and one-half feet i high, , and yielded . approximately three and one-halt tons per acre. "The seed should not be sown until the ground Is warm and danger from heavy frosts is past. The latter part of April or the first of May Is suffi ciently early for the first planting. Where irrigation Is not practiced early planting will give the best re- suits. Where Irrigation Is available the seed can be planted anytime be tween 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 three feet apart, which will require from four to five pounds of seed per acre, or It may be sown broadcast or drilled in with a regular grain drill, which would require 15 to 25 pounds Der sere. Since each iiiant innii enormously only a small quantity of seed is required to sow an acre. Two years ago the seed sold for $1 per pound. It can now be bad for about 15 rents per pound. This plant Is a good seed producer in this valley, and one man produced a large quantity of seed near BrownBboro last year. "Sudan grass is of great value In this valley because of Its great drought resisting qualities. It can fa grown on many soils which are too dry during the summer months a number .crop to be grown during the summer ARMY HOT READY TO LEAVE MEXICO Washington, April 24. The ques tion of withdrawing American forces from Mexico Is far from settled to day. The announcement that the Americans will be re-distributed "for the purpose of recuperation, pending an opportunity for further coopera tlon" with de facto government troops, means that the expedition will remain south of the border longer than army men believed. Withdrawal questions apparently rest upon the negotiations between disposed to order a retirement sole ly on Carrania's suggestion. The re-dlstrlbution of American forces Is interpreted to mean that while the administration wishes to avoid another Parral incident, it likewise desires to be ready to meet any active opposition. LITTLE CHANGE ON THE VERDUN FRONT Paris, April 24. French troops made alight progress around Verdun by hurling hand grenades during the night, it was officially announced to day. Thirty Germans were captured northwest of Caurette woods. A vio lent bombardment occurred In the re gion ot Dead Man's hill, but there was no Important infantry fighting near Verdun. Berlin, April 24. A French at tack east of Dead Man's hill was re pulsed during the night, official an nouncement said today. OUTLAW REYES IS AGAIN ACTIVE El Paso. April 24. While the careers of Pablo Lopez and Manuel Baca, Vlllista leaders, were reported ended today, renewed activity by Canuto Reyes, outlaw general, was seen In an attack on a Mexico Cen tral train and the reported killing of 24 passengers. The bandits' shots were said to have slain four and the final wrecking ot the train killed 20 more, according to advices received here. This was declared to have hap pened between Torreon and Jiminez. Constitutionalists at Chihuahua City today gave Lopez "the third de gree" to make blm tell Villa's where abouts, according to Consul Garcia. Citizens or American troops, accord ing to differing reports, repulsed an attack on Santa Tomas, killing Baca. MORAL E EFFECT A PESSIMIST Is a fellow that looks down at the ashes in his pipe, instead of up at the smoke. New Tork, April 34. The landing of Russian troops In France to parti cipate In the fighting along the west ern front Is probably an effort to support the .out-and-out conscrlp tionlsta in England. Russia can not spare a sufficient force from her own battle fronts to cause any material change In the military situation In Prance.
