Seeding Grain Sorghums
Since the new ruling relative to the
planting of forage crops, hundreds of
inquiries have been received by agri
I cultural agents and to the agricultural
college about varieties of grain sor
ghums, methods and dates of planting
and similar problems. Experimental
work oftheoollege of agriculture, field
’ tests made by farmers and agricultur.
j al agents, and experiences of those
farmers who have grown sorghums in
the past are being drawn upon now j
to get the best information.
Atlas sorgo, a variety developed in
Kansas, has proven popular and profit
able over most of the south central
part of the state. In 1933, it matured
satisfactorily for silage at the Valen
tine experiment station but it re
quiresa 125-daygrowing season to ma
ture seed. Atlas should be planted at
the rateof 15-18 pounds per acre when
listed and grown for silage in east
ern Nebraska. Farther west in the
state, the rnte may be decreased to
10-15 pounds per acre. When drilled,
the planting rate in eastern Nebraska
should be 50 pounds or more per acre,
while in the western part of the state
the rate may be cut in two.
Regular corn planting plates are not
satisfactory for planting Atlas seed.
Blank plates drilled with a number of
three-eights inch holes are generally
used by farmers in eastern Nebraska.
The holes should be reamed out on the
lower side to prevent clogging.
Well matured silage is about as
satisfactory cattle feed as corn silage.
Shepherds regard it as better silage
than corn. Horsemen say Atlas is
good winter feed when fed as dry
fodder. Atlas does not make safe
pasture since it sometimes contains
the same poison as cane.
Farmers who want to grow sorg
hum only for grain should use pink
kafir which is recommended for south
ern Nebraska along the Kansas line,
and western black-hull kafir for the
counties farther north. These two
varieties are the most widely grown
grain sorghums.

Campers At O’Neill
It must be a year since covered
wagon campers stopped at the grounds
just north of the Northwestern stock
yards, and, strange enough, two out
fits composed of about eight automo
biles and wagon-houses pulled in there
at the same time last Friday evening.
A cub reporter rushed into camp to
find if some young city had emigrated
because of drouth or high taxes. Then
it was revealed that each half of the
campers knew nothing of the other
half.
The east camp was under direction
of Ben Jones, of Fulton, Mo., and with
him is his wife and three children.
Mr. Jones said he may buy a herd of
Dakota horseh and drive them to Iowa,
Missouri and beyond where they would
be offered for sale.
The west camp was under direction
of E. L. Sutor, who lived at Tilden
many years and who knows nearly

For several years water moccasins,
deadly poisonous snakes, have been-re
ported here as being found on the
Eagle creek. If this is correct, if
these snakes are to be found in Holt
county, a few words from some one
who knows his snakes should make
interesting reading.
