TIME TO. CUT FOR THE sILo.

Those who will put up silage this
year for the first time ane likely to
make the mistake of cutting their
corn too green. This will add to the
labor and will make sour silage and
Of less feeding value. The best
stage at which to cut corn for the
silo is when 1t is ready to shock.
That will evidently be later this year
than usual. Don't get in a hurry.
Wait until the ears are dented and
hard. Let it get rid of some of the
surplus water; there will be plenty
left.-Wallace's Farmer.

NEW EXPERIMENT STATION.

Secretary Wilson of the United
States Department Of Agriculture has
decided to- establish an experiment
station on the Nanti National. For
fest. near Ephraim, Utah, for the study
ct grazing and water protection prob
:lems.' In fact. bids for the construc-
xion. Of the necessary buildings have
been received and it is expected to
AaYe the station in working order be-
fore winter. Already the gathering
OF observations On the relations of
erosion and rm-off to the forest cover
have begun.
The Manti National Forest was
chosen as the site for this expert
ment station because 1t offers ex-
ceptonally good opportunities for in
Sestigating problems Of practical val
ne In connection with regulated graz
ing. Ephraim and other towns in its
0eighbofhood have suffered severely
trOm floods following violent RAIN
storms in the mountains, and it has
already been proved conclusively that
the 0vergrazed condition OF areas on
which the natural vegetatiYe cover
has been seriously altered is respon-
Sible for the formation Of torrents and
the rapid discharge of debrisladen
H3oodwaters. In a recent destructive
Storm the wafer ran clear from a
part Of the watershed which was
: within the National Forest, and in
good condition as q result Of well
regulated grazing, while from other
areas It swept down sand and bould-
ers. One Of the objects Of the study
Will be to learn how the maxim Of
grazing use Of National Forest land
can be obtained without injury to
forest reproduction and stream flow.
The National Forests provide range
during a part or all Of the year for a
part Of the stock produced in the
western states. Approximately one
and onehaf million head of cattle
and horses and seven and one.half
(. million head of sheep and goats oc-
eupy the Forest lands each year.
These Figures do not include nearly
three hundred thousand calves and
over four million lambs and kids fol
which permits are not required. =
The experts Of the Department be-
lieve that when the ranges which wen
.denuded by many years of improper
use are restored to a normal condi
ton Of productivity it will be posi-
bic to provide feed for a much large
number Of stock without injury to TO

est growths or watersheds, and both
the stockgrower and the consumer
of meat products will be thus bene-
'Hted. Consequently every effort is
being made to determine practicable
means of regenerating depleted
ranges. All of the studies which are
about to be initiated have this point
in view.
