Late Emergency Hay Crops Advised By County Agent flay Crop* Can Yet Be Sown to Advantage. Crops Suggested By Btev (By H W. Shoffner, Cleveland Farm Agent.) Where it has been impossible to break land this summer for hay crops due to tne drought an effort should be made to sow a late crop, rhare ** still rime to make hay crops from soybeans sudan gras-, and mil <et and from mixtures of these crops Where the land is fairlv clean It will be sufficient-to use a disc har row and not break the land deep. Soybeans will produce Rood hay trope between now and frost, though not aa heavy yields will be secured m If planted earlier. The boat varieties generally grown and for lata planting in the season are listed below In order or preference, with the recommended rate of seed ing in -ows and broadcasts.

Plant 3 1-3 to 3 foot row* and cultivate tao or three '.imrs. the 200 to 400 pounds of l.lgb errr.dc fertiliser to .row them Sndaa Grass. Millet. Of the non-legumes, Sudan grass and German millet are the two most valuable and quickest-growing sum mer crops, being ready to mow within sixty days alter planting. Sudan grass may be seeded up to August 18 end make good yields. Sudan grata will make two to three cuttings planted on fertile soils and makes a yield of fine-temmed leafy nutritious hay wiicih cures easily. The crop may be seeded in rows 24 to 30 inches apart or be sown broad oajifc. In rows, it requires from six to eight pounds of seed an acre and broadcast, 25 to 35 pounds. When more than one cutting is expected, the crop should be mown as soon as the seed heads begin to show. When ;t is planted to make only one cut ting. allow the seed to reach the early dough stage before cutting. Millet. German millet, sometimes called golden millet, is the best variety for mid and late summer seeding as it will give better results, during the hot summer seasons than the other varieties. This crop should be seeded broad cast and at the rate of twenty-five to forty pounds of seed an acre. Thicker seeding produces fine stemmed hay of good variety. Only one mowing may be expected, though the yield is not unusual one lo two tons per acre and the crop will be read? to cut in 55 or 60 days after seeding Sudan grass and millet should be planted on as fertile soli as possible and four to six hundred pounds of an high grade fertilizer used. As soon as the plant comes up and starts to grow apply 1D3 to 200 pounds of quick-acting form of ni trogen. These two crops are much heavier feeders from the soil than soybeans and do not Improve the soil.

Uat*rniU«B*l KbwbtmI) WEATHER CHANGE REMINDS OE DIG ' 191G JULY FLOOD Piedmont Section Two Slates Rav aged By High Water 14 Years Ago Charlotte News Sudden change in weather? As yet local citizens still wear a welcoming .grin for the enveloping coolness. They remember their growling about torid waves and sleepless nights of a few days ago. Some even call to mind that sud den change In weather of fourteen years ago exactly, which wiped out lives, washed out thousands of dol lars worth of live stock, gutted highways, left gorges where mag nificent, scenic paved highways had existed; left rails and ties of the Southern system in the mountains of Western North Carolina hanging high in the air, and in short brought a flood of unparalleled damage and unspeakable hoor to the land. For in the minds of F. C. Abbott and 'other explorers of the waste country left by that three day flood of 1916 most graphic disaster pic ture Is not that of the sinking of the Titanic. It Is the Titanic sink ing in North Carolina of lives and property in that great flood. It came with awful suddenness. Beginning as small disturbances about the Carribean Sea. the Sum mer West Indian hurricane swept up from Florida to Charleston. S. C.. curved inward and North, left the districts around Asheville deso late, swept .away, bridges and cot ton mills around Charlotte and made Elkin and that territory riv ers of desolation. The rain continued July 14, 15 and 16 and became a major ca tastrophe which wiped out specu lation of North Carolinians about that stalling beast of war In Eu rope which was loosed two years previously and even then was creep ing towards America. , Landslides about Marion, wash outs in the Biltmore village, water savages about Bat Cave and Chim ney Rock, destruction and death spread from the Yadkin River, Wilkes County incredibly damaged, breaking of Lake Toxaway,—these are the few big names which re call all the horrors of the period. Seaboard and P. and N. bridges were washed out near Mount Holly. Nothing but abutments were left of the Southern Railway bridge on the.Gaston County side and mighty little on the Mecklenburg side, the highway bridge at Belmont which had been built at a cost of $100,000 only two years previously was de molished. The Southern Railway bridge over the Catawba River near Rock Hill, S. C., which was the last to go out, meant breaking of the main line of travel from ChaTlotte to Jacksonville. Cotton mills, Mon bo especially, on the Catawba Riv er near Statesville were crumbled and washed away But this is to record what Mr. Abbott could describe in particular. And it u shivery enough Without bringing Ahat up.
