N. VINALL.) The name of millet is applied to a ; number of 'cultivated annual grasses, 'some of which are used largely as ' forage crops and others as cereals; . most of them, however,, are used either for forage or for grain, according to I the needs of the growers. In the United States all except (he hroom ; corn millet are used almost exclusively ; for forage purposes, but in Africa, In ; lia, China, Korea, Japan and Russia the millets are grown extensively for i human food. In China the broom J corn and foxtail millets are most com mon, ami the grain, after being cleaned and hulled, is crushed and cooked as a porridge, much as certain breakfast foods are used in America. In India pearl millet, which is grown there under the native name of bajra. Is the most Important millet. Korea ! and Japan produce considerable proso i and foxtail millet, and the latter country also devotes a considerable acreage, to barnyard millet, which Is ; grown there almost entirely for its seed; but the millet crop Is of minor Importance in these countries, as It is 1 in Europe, where It Is not cultivated : extensively except in the Mediterra 1 nean region and in Russia. Much proso or broom-corn millet is pro duced In Russia, especially in tle . southeastern provinces, j One of Oldest Crops. Millet is one of the oldest of cultl . vated crops. Its planting has been ; mentioned in Chinese records as being ! part of a religious ceremony carried I out by the Chinese emperor as early I as 2700 B. C. Trobably native in ' southern Asia, Its culture spread from I there westward to Europe at an early date. In 1S49 a distribution of millet seed was made by the United States patent office, and In 1888 millet had become a rather Important crop in the central states, where it was found better adapted than along the Atlantic coast. By 1899 over 74 per cent of the total acreage of millet was found In the north-central states. Kansas, with 349,906 acres, led all the states, and' produced an average of 1.9 tons of millet hay per acre, ' against an average of 1.6 tons per acre for the whole United States. According to the thirteenth census, Kansas was still first In millet production, the leading states ranking In the following order: Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Tennessee and Okla homa. To succeed well, millet must have warm weather during the growing sea son. It does not grow well at high altitudes or in other localities where cool weather prevails during the sum- I mer months. Notwithstanding, this is grown successfully In our most nor thern states, especially those in the Great Plains region, because In those states the summers, though short, are hot. Millet, as it matures quickly, can be planted and harvested during these summer months. The long days prevailing in this latitude, provide plenty of sunshine, and thus a less period of time Is required for matur ing the crop. The longer seasoned va rieties, like German and Turkestan, can be grown successfully only in the central and southern states. Needs Abundant Rainfall. Millet does best in localities which have a fairly abundant rainfall. Many writers have referred to the millets as drought-resistant crops, and they do have a low water requirement, but they lack the ability to recover after being injured by a period of drought. This ability to recover fnun drought injury Is very pronounced In the sor ghums, but the millets succeed in lo calities subject to drought almost en tirely through their ability to escape periods of acute drought on account of their short growing season. Millet is usually one of the first crops to Bhow the effect of a drought, mainly because of its shallow root system. A rich, loose, loamy soil Is best for millet. Tlenty of humus Is advan tageous, and for this reason millet Is Dften planted on newly turned grass sod. It is a good crop for such situa tions also, because it seems to aid In disintegrating the sod. Good drainage Is essential. Grown as Cafc Crop. Millet Is grown chlehy as a catch crop and is not important as a con stituent In a regular cropping system. Most farmers use it to overcome an expected shortage in their hay supply or to occupy a field which would other wise be idle n account of the failure of regular crop cr because climatic conditions have prevented the seeding of such a crop. Millet is admirably suited to such use because of its short season of growth and the ease and certainty of obtaining a stand. The plant is also adapted to a wide range both of soils and of climates. Large yields are r.ot obtained either on poor soils or in dry climates, but millet has been found to make a heavier yield under such conditions than most other hay crops. The strongest competitor of millet which has yet been found Is Sudan grass, which promises to re place millet in many localities as a catch crop, so that a further decrease in the acreage of millet Is to be- ex pected. The quality of Sudan grass hay is superior to that of millet, and its yields under comparable conditions are nearly, always larger, but the growing season is a trifle longer than that required by either common or Hungarian millet. Used as Soiling Crop. Foxtail millet is used to some ex tent as a soiling crop, but It is not a3 well suited for this purpose as the sorghums and some of the small grains. Pearl millet is better for use as a green feed than the foxtail mil lets, because of its larger yield and Its ability to make a second growth after being cut down ; and both pearl millet and barnyard millet are better silage crops than foxtail millet, because of their larger yields and greater succu lence. Foxtail millet has never been uti lized to any great extent as a grain crop in the United States. In China and certain other parts of Asia, as was stated in the Introduction, it is used more or less as human food. So long as wheat can be produced in the United States as abundantly and cheaply as at present little mlljet will be grown for human food. PREPARING FOR NEXT SEASON Disk Up Stubble Soon as Possible Af ter Harvest Deep Plowing Will Increase Yield. (By WALLACE MAC FARLANE, Agron omy Department Oklahoma A. and M. College, Stillwater.) Just after harvesting the small grains there is generally a lull in the farm operations. Then Is the time for the farmer to prepare for the next year. Disking up the stubble as soon as possible after harvesting has been found by experiment and common ex perience to be profitable. It prepares the soil to absorb and retain a maxi mum amount of moisture and also kills many weeds. Just as soon as suffi cient moisture is in the soli the farm er should plow the land at least six to seven inches deep. Both the Oklahoma and the Kansas stations have found early and deep plowing give profitable increases in yield. The Oklahoma experiment sta tion found as an average of five years with Fulcaster wheat, seeded Septem ber 15 to October 1, the following re sults : Plowed seven inches deep, July 15, yield, 27.1 bushels. Plowed seven inches deep, August 15, yield 24.2 bushels. Plowed seven inches deep, Septem ber 15, yield 22.0 bushels. SUMMER COMFORT FOR HOGS Mud Hole Is Worse Than No Wallow at All Crude Petroleum In Wa ter Will Destroy Lice. Hogs will get along without water, to wallow in during hot weather If they have good shade. But they do better with water If It Is not supplied by a mud hole which Is likely to be come a place for spreading disease. Clear water such as supplied In i wal lowing tank or vat, that can be cleaned frequently, Is no doubt good for a hog, but a mud hole may be worse than no wallow at all. Unless a wal low is provided hogs ace apt to suffer severely from lice In summer. If there Is a wallow, oil crude petroleum or any non-Irritating sort placed on top of the water will be best for destroy ing the lice. If there Is no wallow tin hogs should be greased or dipped regu larly. Hogs that have not had much exer cise are easily killed in hot weather if moved. Thin hogs accustomed to ex ercise may stand some running, but others are easily and qolcklj killed U hot weather. r Juice of Lemons!
