FIRES HAMFUL IN WOOD!
SPRING BURNING DOES THE
MOST DAMAGE.
BY J. A. Ferguson, Professor Of For.
estry, University of Missouri.

Forest fires are most likely to occur
during the fall and spring, when the
ground is covered with dry leaves and
twigs. At such times every precau-
zion should be token to prevent their
burning in the wood lot, for they do
great damage to the trees. 1t is gen
orally believed that greater damage is
done to trees by the fall fires, when
the ground is dry and the fire burns
deep through the leaves, than by
spring fires, when only the upper lay
err Of leaves is dry and the fire burns
lightly over the ground. But just the
opposite is true. Spring fires do the
most damage, because at this time the
trees are becoming active. They are
full of sap and the young buds are
beginning to swell and the tender
shoots to form
In this condition the trees are more
likely to be scorched than in the DOR
mant fall condition. Trees are more
seriously injured by scorching than by
actual burning. Because trees do not
show immediate damage from fires
many believe the surface fires do little
damage in the wood lot. But fire.
that is not hot enough to burn the
bark of tree is often hot enough t.
scorch the tender living layer of WOOL |
just beneath the bark, called the cam
blum layer. So long as trees are Wig
orous they will withstand the effects
of fungi and other tree diseases. But
when tree becomes weakened in this
way 1t becomes prey to these dis
eases and the wood begins to rot and
the tree to be attacked by insects
Not only does a fire injure the
larger trees, but it burns the seeds
and kills the young trees If these
are destroyed year by year. there can
be no future to the wood lot and when
the old trees are removed it will all
be gone.
The soil is also injured by the fires

CROPS TO CROW FOR S|LO
CORN is RE-EMlNENTLY THE
GREAT SlLO CROP.
c. H. EckIes, Professor of Dairyino,
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 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
er amount of sugar to form the acid
needed to preserve it without becom-
in, 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 less amount of grain,
and the total feed value obtained is
no more than from other varieties
grown for grain.
Cowpeas for sIage.
On account of the fact that corn
silage lacks protein, it is 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 ration in this respect. This COM
bination has been found successful if
too large proportion of cowpeas is
not used. If one-third cowpeas and
tWo-thirds corn are put together in
the silo the resulting silage is of ex-
CEMENT 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 we'll with the exception
that it is found to be a difficult mat
ter to harvest 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
DAD of peas is cut to two loads Of
,orn. Cowpea silage alone is not of
FOOD quality. 1t undergOes a change
more in the nature of rotting and does
lot make palatable or satisfactory
eed. Both clover and alfalfa have
'een frequently tried, but neither is
'ery satisfactory, on account of the
'oor quality of silage resulting.
Sorghum for siIaee.
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
God. Care should be taken that the
orghum is quite we'll matured before

kaffir Corn for siIaee.
Numerous inquiries have been re-
eived in the last few years regarding
ne use of kafllr corn for silage. This
rop is more closely related to the
orghum plant than to the corn plant.

hose sections of the country where

TAFT TO RECEIVE
HRAVBLALLOWANCB.
House Votes to Leave in SOS, 1000
Appropriation fOr the
President.

President Taft will not lose his $50
appropriation for travelling expenses this
year. The House yesterday by a vote Of
55 TO So defeated a motion Of Representa-
tive Page Of North Carolina to strike the
appropriation from the sundry civil bill.
Representative Fitzgerald. chairman Of
the Appropriations Committee. and many
other prominent Democrats Joined the
Republicans in voting down Mr.. Pages
amendment.
In presenting his motion to strike out
the appropriation Mr.. Page declared that
President Taft on his repeated tours had
become Exhibit A" at county fairs II
think the President has greatly cheap
ened his great Office said Mr.. Page,
and I think this appropriation should be
stricken from the bill. ANY city or State
which invited the President to visit II
would gladly pay his expenses"
DO you think it would be dignihed
for cities to pay the expenses OF the
PRESIDENT" asked Minority Leader Mann
Il think il would be much more digni-
fed and fitting" replied Mr.. Page, than
what has occurred recently under this
appropriation"
Former Speaker Cannon defended the
President. In recent years, he said. Il
had become the Executives duty TO
travel through the country. Many OF the
people Of the country were unable to
come to Washington, and II was only
proper that the President should visit
every section. He pointed cut the ex-
pense OF entertainment Of visitors to
Washington that persons in public life
must undergo.
The President has advocated policies
that I have not cOncurred IT." added
Mr.. Cannon. but I want to say that
he has been an efficient and a grea:
President AS long as I am a member
OF this House I will continue TO vote
for this appropriation for his travelling
expenses
Mr.. Gnlett declared that the recent poll
teal trips to Massachusetts, New Jersey,
and Ohio, were not paid for out Of ths

the practice of apprOpriating money for
the Presidents travelling expenses. Repre-
sentative Sherley Of Kentucky also spoke
in favor Of the appropriation. He declar-
ed that II was the Presidents duty to
visit all sections Of the country in order
to familiarize himself with local and
sectional conditions. It would better for
the interests OF the people, he added.
II members of Congress also visited
other sections than those in which they
reside. Mr.. Sherley added that he was
one Of the few Democrats to vote m
favor Of the travel appropriation ever
since It has been carried in the apprO-
priations bills.
