Feeding Value Of Corn Greatly IN

By use Of the silo and harvesting
the corn plant for silage. the feeding
value Of the plant is increased from
$1,000 TO $1,000 per acre. It Is esti-
mated that so per cent OF the feeding

The forty bushels OF corn at 80 cents
per bushel is worth $1,000 but II the
stalks have two-thirds the feeding
value Of the grain. the stalks are worth
from $1,000 to 1890 or $500 per
acre. depending upon the quality of
the crop and the condition they are in
when harvested for. ailage.
II the stalks are left in the field
they have a feeding value Of from
s1.oO to $50 or $3.50 per acre. This
decreased value Of the corn stalk when
left in the field is due TO the fact that
when the stalk is left standing It loses

hard, woody and indigeatible. It Is
therefore evident that TO obtain the
maximum feeding value Of the corn
crop, II should be harvested and made
into silage, and that the use Of the silo
will increase the feeding value OF the
corn plant from $1,000 to $1,000 per
acre.

THE FRISCO REcElvERsHIP,

Possibly the Frisco railway system
may never emerge from its present diff
ficulties with the form it possessed
when Il became overwhelmed by them,
but to assume that the intrinsic value
Of the railroads constituting los 1900
miles Of clear trackage can be perma4
nently impaired by any faults or
change in It's management would be
to deny a future to the territory It IS
intended to serve. Any one desirous
Of inquiring into the character and re-
sources OF that territory win be great
~ helped by referring to a map or
atlas Of the great southwest of the
United States. That magnificent sec
ton is cobwebbed by lines of railroad
subsidiary to the St. Louis & San
Francisco organization, and these ram
ify Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Hi
nois, Kansas, Tennessee, Mississippi,
Alabama and Texas.
Why the system has fallen into diff
ficulties is a short story. It is over
loaded with bonded Indebtedness, the
accumulation Of years, to the extent
that its fixed charges have been call
ing for nearly 80 per cent Of its net
earnings. 1t assumed obligations be-
yond its earniil ability Owing to it's
tightened circumstances 1t has been
compelled to pay dearly for accommo-
dation. Although doing an immense
business. the drain upon its income
has been more than it could bear. It

results That is, they have been
driven to the point of complete read

great individual sacrifice. In the long
run it has given solyeney, stability and
permaneney to the enterprises con

One thing must never be lost sight
OF in cases Of this kind. Nine times
out Of ten the trouble is due to bad
financiering rather than to poor buai-
ness. The country behind the Frisco

The Hetch Hetchy valley is part of Yosemite
National Park 1t is proposed not only to use
its abundant water for San Francisco's drinking
supply, but also for power. The eOnseryation-
lists base their protests on two main arguments
first, that under no conditions should the
beautiful national park be exploited for CONNER
cial purposes; secondly, that expert engineers
after careful surveys have reported other water
supply outside of the park just as available for
San Francisco.
The fight quickly got into Congress and will
probably be waged there for months to come. In
general, it may be said that the newspapers of
the western states seem to favor the Hetch

opposes it. The western states have long felt
that the policy of national conservation is

FROM SAN FRANCISCO

Non-partisanship in city politics is the order
of the day. It's recognition in Honolulu can no
more be avoided, can no more be stopped, than
the ebb and flow of the tides. Blind insist
ence on national party politics in local affairs
may win in one o. two more elections, but ulti-
mately it must GO; it is Anticipated, ineffective
and offers unequalled opportunity for perpet-
uating municipal abuses.
A significant action is that of the San Fran
cisco Democratic clubs Campaign Committee of
Fifteen. Here are the pledges for a municipal
platform adopted by these Democrats:
Non-partisanship in municipal elections
A charter amendment permitting, any elector, or !
the grand jury, to proceed against any public Off
Ger by accusation or presentment, provided in
the penal CODE
Municipal ownership of street railways, gas,
ter, light power and telephone systems.
Opposition to legal compromises, by test cases,
In litigation against public service corporations.
Against allowing United Railroads to use tun-
nels built by the city.
Reform of the police courts
Abolition of useless offices.
Several of the issues mentioned above are To-
cal to San Francisco, but the issue of non-par-
tisanship in municipal elections is just as vital
to Honolulu as to the Golden Gate or any other
city.
