Get Ready For Sudan Grass
Sudan grass, the wonderful
hay crop of the South, whose
drought resistant characteris-
tics have made it the most popu-
lar forage crop in the country,
should be sown some time be-
tween April 10th and 20th, ac-
cording to Professor .T. O. Mor-
gan, of the Department of Ag-
ronomy at the Agricultural and
Mechanieal College, of Texas.
Dr. Morgan also believes that
the best results will be obtained
by sowing the grass fn rows,
just wide enough to allow culti-
vation, using about 15 to 20
pounds of seed to the acre.
Professor Morgan recommends
this unusual heavy seeding, be-
cause of the recent investiga-
tions of the Texas Experiment
Station, which has shown that
thick seeding prevents the stalks
from growing too rank, which
will interfore with the produc-
tion of hay of good quality.
We have heard a good many
stories of strange happenings
but one told by W. R. Magill
last Saturday has placed them
all in the shade:
About the middle of the fore
noon last Saturday, Mr. Magill’s
chicken house was found to be
on tire. The blaze started in
the nest of an old hen whose
eggs were to t have hatched the
following day. The tail of the
hen, her wing feathers and most
of the straw nest was consumed
but the wise one continued to
sit, or set, as the case may be..
The boxing plank was burning
good by this time. The day be-
ing Saturday and all the men
being in town on business (?) the
ladies in the neighborhood show-
ed their ability as lire lighters
by extinguishing the flames.
There is a difference of opinion
as to how the lire started. Some
claim that the heat from the
breast of the hen combined with
that from the eggs that were
about to hatch, started the lire.
Others think that the hen, while
shuffling her feathers in an ash
pile where there were a few
small live coajs, started the lire.
The loss of most of her feath-
ers did not cause the motherly
instincts of the hen to waver in
the least degree. As soon as
the lire was extinguished she
climbed into a nest next to the
\
one burned, rolled Several of the
freshly laid eggs over a few
times, and settled herself with-
out the slightest sign of incon-
venience.
Farmers Union to Meet

ers Union is called to meet in

Weather Report
According to the government
local weather reports so far
this year the rain fall has been
as follows:
January 2.93 inches; February
4.25 inches; March, 5.40 inches
or a total of 12.73 inches for the
year.
Many of the older settlers say
the average temperature for the
month of March was the lowest
in many years and in fact -some
say it was the coldest March
ever remembered in Lamar
county. However the fruit crop
is safe and the future bright for
a great and prosperous year.
One of the hardest rains of the
year fell all over Lamar county
Monday niglrt which putstreams
in many parts of the county to
overflowing and . brought the
total rainfall for the month up
to 5.40 inches, according to the
report of Roht. Miller.—Paris
Review.
Cold Weather kills Bees
The very severe weather of
March caused much damage
among a colony of about fifty
bee hives on the J. M. Hay good
farm near Enloe. Tuesday he
had occasion to visit the hives
and he found death had caused
much devastation. The cool
weather had confined the bees
longer within the hive than usual
and, thus confined, all the stored
food was consumed, and it is
surmised that starvation was
hastened by inability to venture
into the open in search of wont-
ed blossoms.—Delta Courier.
