CROPS TO CROW FOR SILO
CORN is PRE-EMINENTLY THE
GREAT slLo CROP.
c. Il. Eckes, Professor Of Dairying,
University'of Missouri.

The silo has been tried as a means
of preserving nearly all the common
crops grown on the farm. However, it
cannot be said to be an unqualified
success except with a few. Corn is
pre-eminently the crop for the silo.
The yield OF total nutrients per acre
of this crop is greater than is usually
secured from any other. 1t has the
further advantage of packing well to
exclude the air and contains the prop
er amount Of sugar to form the acid
needed to preserve it without becom-
ing too sour The best results are
obtained as a rule by using the variety
of corn best adapted to the locality
and grown in the same manner as is
done when grown for grain.
Larger yields of silage per acre may
be secured from some OF the special
varieties known as silage corn. but
these produce a less amount of grain,
and the total feed value obtained is
no more than from other varieties
grown for grain.

cowpeas for silase.

On account of the fact that corn
silage lacks protein II is a rather COM
mon practice to combine a certain
amount of green cowpeas with the
corn. The cowpeas, on account Of
their high protein, improve the silage
as a ration In this respect. This COM
bination has been found successful If
too large a proportion Of cowpeas is
not used. II one-third cowpeas and
two-thirds corn are put together in
the silo the resulting silage is Of ex.
cellent quality and somewhat better
in feeding value than that OF corn
alone.
The plan Of growing corn and cow
peas together has been recommended.
This works well with the exception
that 1t is found to be q difficult mat
ter to harvest a crop, on account Of
the vines tying the crop together.
However, some Missouri farmers have
followed this plan for several years
and continue TO use IT. Others who
follow the plan Of mixing the cowpeas
with the corn in the silo prefer to
grow them separately. In filling, one
| load of peas is cut TO two loads Of
corn. Cowpea silage alone Is not of
good quality. 1t undergoes a change
more in the nature of rotting and does
not make a palatable or a satisfactory
feed. Both clover and alfalfa have
been frequently tried, but neither is
very satisfactory, on account Of the
poor quality Of silage resulting.
Sorghum for sllage.
The silage crop next best to corn is
undoubtedly sorghum. Almost as
much feed per acre is obtained as
with corn, and the quality of silage is
good. Care should be taken that the
sorghum is quite well matured before
being put into the silo. The tendency
is for an excessive amount of acid to
be formed, due to the large amount OF
sugar present in the cane.
Kafflr Corn for silage.
Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived in the last few years regarding
the use of kaftlr corn for silage. This
crop is more closely related to the
sorghum plant than to the corn plant,
and when used for silage makes a
quality Of feed somewhat between the
two. 1t can be recommended only in
those sections OF the country where
kaffir corn can be grown TO better ad-
vantage than can ordinary field corn,

HELD FOR Barring

Uncle Sam Orders the Arrest
Of Magazine Men.
PHOTOGRAPHER IN AIRCRAFT

Man To Face Charge or Dis
closing Military Infor-
nation.

San ancisco.-Warrant for the
arrest of Charles X. Field, editor OF
the Sunset Magazine and former presi
dent OF the Bohemian Club; Riley A
Scott, a writer; Robert j. Fowler, an
aviator and Ray S. Duhem, a photo
grapher, were issued at the request oi
John w. Preston, United States attor
ney here. The charge against all
three is the disclosure of military sec
rets and the penalty is 10 years i'm
prisonment or $4,000 fine for such
disclosures if made abroad and one
year or a $1,000 fine If made in the
United States.
In April, Sunset published an arti
Gle entitled "Can the Panama Canal
Be Destroyed from the Air?" Repro
ductions of photographs taken from an
aeroplane and showing some OF the
Notifications of the canal zone and OF
the San Francisco Preside accom-
panied the text. AS soon as copy OF
the number was called to the attention
of the War Department 1t requested
Preston to investigate.
Mr.. Fields defense was that the
photograph showed no actual fortihca'
tions, nor artillery, but only the en-
placement for a gun and the pre-
liminary work for fort. To this Mr..
Preston replied:
81 think the case has merit. II has
always been an Army regulation with
the force of law, forbidding the taking
Of photographs or views Of the per
manent works Of defense, whether in
course of construction or completed.
by the act of March 3, 1911, Con-
gress strengthened the regulation so
that II is now violation of plain
statute for q civilian to take or pub
lish photographs of any fortifcation,
whether complete or in process of con-
struction.
"The War Department regards the
enforcement of this law as absolutely
essential and my instructions are en-
phatic in this case"
All four men were served with the
warrants issued for their arrest and
taken before United States Commits
sioner Francis Krull. They were re-
leased upon their own recognizance.

had charged the city Wednesday and
utterly routed 10000 Federals com
manded by General Miguel, Federal
governor OF the State of Jalisco.
In fierce battle extending over a
zone of so miles, the Federal army
was cut to pieces by Obregon's force
of less than 10000 men. Five thou
sand Federals were captured, Obregon
said, with the artillery and ammuni
ton of the enemy. Those who escaped
are being pursued by the cavalry. Gen
eral Blanco was sent to cut off all
communication with Mexico City. He
tore up the railroad lines to prevent
the Federals moving any stores out OF
the city.
Very few OF the attacking force were
killed or wounded, Obregon reported.
He informed Elias that he led his
forces personally into Guadalajara.
The city went wild with enthusiasm
over the entrance of the revolutionary
forces and II is estimated General
