The Terr'ble Turk.
Speaking 'T Armenia, red-b'ood
ed Americans who read tue article
in the Saturday Evening Post
about the senseless and murder
ous “assimilation" of this race by
the Turks haye all the more reason
to hate that nation of blcod-thirty
fanatics and all the more reason to
hope that when the big war is over
a smaller one may be waged to
drive them from Europe, if possi
ble. One million, five hundred
thousand Armenians lived happily j
in their country before the Turks;
proclaimed their “holy war"
against all “infidels.” Since that j
time, according ten the best infor- j
mation obtainable. SCO.OOO of
these people, men, women and j
children, have been literally wiped 1
•
off the earth. The massacres of
1894 and 1897 do not compare, it
is said, with the horrible wholesale
murderers of 1915 and 1916.
And still the murders go on. There
is no one to protest. The Turk,
for reasons which are obvious, is a
valuable ally to the Teutonic pow
ers in the present war. The Teu
tons. even though they have sym
pathy for the defenseless and
harmless Armenians, cannot just
tow protest against the inhumani
■y. It seems quite likely, however,
that in due time the Turk will pay
■ i penalty, nut by that time the
Armenians will be as extinct as
the dodo. Indeed, he is the Un
speakable Tu,-k.

FORAGE CROPS FGRARKANSAS
No. 5. The Sorghums.
Ey Earl Kilpatrick, Extension Agron
omist, Fniversdy of Arkansas.
Tlie sorghum t'amilj with its many
groups and varieties has been intro
duced into this country and developed
because of the power to withstand dry
weather, make large yields, and be
cause of the various uses. It is grown
for at least four distinct purposes, tor
syrup, for hav and forage, for grata,
and for brooms. The main uses in
Arkansas art- for the first two, a;,
though growing some of the kinds for \
grain and brooms is done in a ltnvted j
way. The sorghums may be divided,
into two broad group®: First, sweet
or saccharine, or those which contain
a large amount of juice rich in sugar, ,
from which syrup is made; Second, i
non saccharine or those which djt not
contain the swept Juices as •ho kafirs
and brooi.i-co n.
Amber, orange, sumac or red top,
honey or Japanese seeded, and Texas
reeded ribbon are > * common varie
ties of sweet sorghot • '-own. Tile
ami't r i )••*> earliest a” does no'
make the yield that the others make.
aMhongh >f it is grown early it may be
cut for nay twice during the season.
The sumac, honey and Texas seeded
ribbon are ail later maturing and are
Usually "■•• 1 for syrup and where
large yields of forage or silage iS
wanted. Texas seeded ribbon is es
n- - hilly prf- d for the large amount
of syrup that it produces.
Ti e method of planting varies with
the use to which these sorghums are
to be put. For syrup the planting is
done in rows ?.fi to 42 inches apart,
using six to eight pounds of seed *o
the acre. Tlie worst objection to
sorghum for hay h the fact that it is
hard to cu e. and that the stems are
coarse. This difficulty can be elimi
nated to some extent by seeding
thickly or broadcasting about a bushel
of seed to the acre. Careful tests it:
Kens;-* showed that an acre of sor
ghum put no as silage made more
gains with beef animals than an acre
of corn us-'h! as silage.
Sudan re s. which has been in*ro
dnced within the last few years, and
Johnson grass are very closely relat
ed. They will mix with eaclt other
and with the other sorghums. John
son grass has 'urge underground stems
which enables it to spread and become
a serious pert in many sections. Su
dan grass has fibrous roots like wTlea'
or corn, lives for only one year arid
cannot, become a pest. Sudan has a
broad r leat than Johnson grass and
the plant is more coarse.
Sudan promises to be one of our j
pood h v crops. It makes three or I
four outlines during the season and
if the harvesting is done just as the
prop is heading out it makes a spten
did feed, although not so rich in imis
cle making as cowpeas or clover.
About 20 pounds of seed per aore
broadcast, or 4 In 5 pounds of seed
In rows 30 to 36 Indies wide, lias been
found to be ths best amount.
Because of its persistent habit it is
seldom advisable to seed Johnson
grass on clean soil, but on lards that
h vp a'ready become tefestp;] jt can
be made a most profitable crop. On
strong sot’s (lie three or four yearly
cuttings will make as much feed as
any other crop.
Kafir, miio, feterita and sheila arc,
si! grown in a small way for grain
and for forage although they are not
very satisfactory, especially in the
more humid sections of the state.
Many fields fail to make seed due to
a condition commonly known as blight,
which is caused by a small midge >r
insect which lays its egg in the
flower ,iust as it opens. The egg
hatches into a miniature worm which
prevents the seed from forming.
Funds also do a great deal oi damage
by picking out the seed. As a forage
crop this group is generally inferior
to the sweet sorghums. Feterita is
earlier than katir or milo and does
not make so much forage although if
planted party it may make seed when
the others fair. Shallu, also known
as Kgvptian wheat, is inferior in quan
tity and quality of forage and in the
amount of grain, although the
sprangled head generally causes an
estimation of the yield to he too high.

should be read: "Gorghum Syrup
Manufacture." No. 477; “Better Grain

Grain Crop,” No &.*»“; “Fses of Sor
grutn Grain." No. 6S6; “Broom Corn.’’

IT'S THE
BUYING POWER
Back of This Store
That Makes It's
Values Possible.
No matter how small or large your purchase you will be
sure to find our prices tc represent an absolute saving to you.
Is it not reasonable to suppose, that by buying in large
quantities for our three stores, that we can secure price reduc
tions which the small dealer cannot possibly obtain? And in
addition we are able to save about 20 per cent in freight
charges by buying in solid car load lots. Also we have no
rent to pay, as we own our building. One customer told us the
other day. that he saved $ '-2.00 on a purchase of $211.00.
We can, and wi i do tin; same for you. Write us about your
wants. Tell frankly just tho pieces wanted, finish desired, etc
and we will send you cuts and prices for your approval.
You will always find, quality considered, that you can buy
better merchandise here, and always with the guarantee that
will measure up to every requirement.
