DRY LAND SORGHUMS
Especially Adapted as Good
Drought Resistant Crops.
Saccharine nnd Non-8accharlno Va
rletles Can Survive and Produce
Abundant Yield Under the
Moit Adverse Conditions.
Prof. A. M. Ten Kyck superintend
ent of the Fort Hays (Knn.) Expert
Clout station In an nddross on
drought resistant crops dclUored bo-
foro tho Western Kansas Fanners'
conference satd;
Doth tho saccharlno nnd non sac
cliarluo sorghums aro especially ndap-
ted for "dry-land farming" and nro
-noil named "drought-resistant crops."
These crops can survlro and produco
abundantly undor conditions of
drought nnd hot winds that would
destroy almost nuy othor crop grown
on tho western plains.
Of tho non-succharlno sorghums
thoro nro four dlfferont typos or
croups varieties of which nro grown
more or less extonslvcly In different
portions of tho west. Thoro aro tho
Uaflrs of which thcro nro threo com-
mon varlotlcs tho Hod Whlto and
Ulnckhulled White; tho durras In-
cluding Whlto nnd Drown durrn;
Mllo mnlzo nnd Jerusalem corn; Slinl-
lu growing In this country under vari-
ous names ns California wheat Mex-
ican wheat Egyptian wheat nnd
II room corn of which thcro aro two
general types or varieties tho Stand-
ard nnd tlio Dwarf
In Kansas tho kaflr-corn and Mllo
mnlzo Is grown extonslvcly; In tho
wcBtorn part of tho stato theso crops
furnished much of tho graln-fccd and
a forago and grain crop kallr and
Mllo nro superior to corn wliero tho
Hovernl crops grow equally woll pro-
ducing moro fodder per ncro and of
better quality than corn-fodder while
tho grain Is nearly equal to corn In
feeding valuo and largely takos Its
placo as n stock food throughout tho
region where corn Is not oxtouslvoly
grown.
At tho Kansas station of tho vari-
eties namod nbovo kntlr-corn has
proved to ho tho best producer of
grain and fodder whllo Mllo mnlzo
ranks second. Tho Inst-nnuicd va-
riety and Jerusalem com nro grown
to a limited extent In western Knnsaa.
In Colorado tho Mllo malzo and Urown
durrn nro grown moro largely than
knllr-corn. Bliallu Is not so good n
producer of grain as kallr or Mllo nt
'tho Kansas Experiment stntlon nnd
$!lich less valuable for forago than
cruio. Uroom corn Is grown only for
Its brush which usually commands n
high prlco. This crop Is rapidly com-
ing Into promlnenco In wostorii Kan-
sas and Nebraska. It Is nn expensive
crop to btow nnd a crop fnllura
means great loss but tho crop osio-
dally In Dwarf broom corn seems
veil suited to dry-land fnrmlng condl-
perils. In tho moro fnvornblo seasons
tho crop vlclds woll and Is very prollt-
able to grow.
In Kansas saccharlno sorghum or
cauo. Is grown oxtouslvoly for forngo.
Usually tho soed Is sown broadcast
nnd tho crop Is cut nnd put up llko
hay Thero Is porhaps no forngo crop
adapted for growing In Kansas thnt

Both tho saccharlno and non-sne--har!no

GROW ALFALFA ON DRY LAND
Numerous Cases Where Abundant.

J E Payne who Is ft grnduato of
the Knnsns agricultural college and
who for tho past fourteon years has
been In chargo of tho dry farming ox )
pcrlmcnt stntlon of eastern Colo-
rado advises thnt ho has found nu-
merous cases In which nlfalfn Is doing
well on the uplnnds of eastern Colo-
rado and - estorn Knnsns. Ono caso
Is quoted where ono man In that sec-
tion has 100 ncros of alfalfa which
was sown cm sandy land two years
ago nnd Is now doing well although
tho first sordlng was laid on freshly
broken sod which had boon fined

Molds In tho snmo county nro reportod
which nro growing on clay land and
tills shows that nlfnlfn will thrlvo on
olther typo of soil provided n proper
selection of seed tins been made and
tho ground woll prepared. In regard
to tho preparation of tho scod bed
Professor Pnyno says:
"Tho men who havo succeeded best
with unlrrlgnted alfalfa have pre-
pared their land well ami then seeded
It when an abundant supply of mols
ttiro was present. Some hae sown
with succoss as Into as August 1
tipon land which had been plowed
early nnd kept freo fiom weeds until
tho tlmo of seeding. With perfect
germluntlon nnd perfect soil condi-
tions olio pound of nlfnlfn seed will
produco enough plants to cover an

mondod fifteen to twenty pounds nn

given tho best results on dry land
havo been from threo to ten pounds
