on the college farm. 0ne-third OF the
field was drilled and another third
was listed in. The remainder OF the
field was in corn. The drilled cane
made 1875 tons OF silage per acre. the
listed cane 8 tons. and the corn made
5 tons per acre.
In the fall Of 1912 one silo. was
filed with cane, one with kafir, and
one with corn. The following Yields
we're obtained this year: Corn. III
tons OF silage per acre; cane, 81
tons, and kafir, 6 tons. The yield OF
kafir was not a representative one.
The season OF 1912 was not a good
season for kafir and the early frost
cut down the yield considerably.
Here, again, we had the same results
with the cane as we had previously.
1t made q good quality of silage, and
after analyZing the different silages
for acidity, 1t was found that the cane
silage did not contain as much acid
as the corn silage at any time during
the winter
In the first years experiment, cane
silage was compared with. corn silage
as a feed for dairy cows giving milk.
Two lots Of four cows were selected
from the herd for the experiment.
These lots were handled in the fol-
lowing manner: Lot |. was fed for
the first twenty days on corn silage.
The second twenty days. latter a pc
Rod OF ten days intervening) they
were fed on cane silage, and the third
twenty days they we're changed back
to corn silage. Lot II. was fed cane
sllage for the first period, corn silage
during the second period, and again
changed to cane silage during the
third period. It was planned to get
a direct comparison OF these two
feeds by comparing the average OF
the first aud third periods with the
second period in each case. The
cows gradually decline in milk flow
and the average production Of the
first and third periods would be about
equal to the production Of the second
period These COWS were fed a grain
and hay ration in addition to the 81
lage. The hay ration was kept con
slant and the amount fed was based
on what the cows would consume
The grain ration was fed in proper
ton to the amount of milk produced
The following table gives the re
suits of the experiment:

~oRGHUM CROPS. both the sac
- charine and non-saccharine'
can be used for silage with
good results. The corn plant has con-
siderable prestige as a snage crop, and
Il has been more generally used for
this purpose than any other crop. In
fact. its use has become 30 general
that some OF the farmers and stock
men have believed that It was the
only crop At to be used for silage.
Two years ago the Dairy Depart
ment of the Kansas Agricultural Col
lege planned an experiment to deter
mine the value of sorghums for 81
lage. In most parts OF Kansas the
yield of the sorghums, such as kafir
and sweet sorghum, is a great deal
larger than that OF corn, and some
seasons the yield Is several times
larger per acre. 1t was thought that
II these crops could be made into
silage they would be OF particular adj
vantage to the farmers and stockmen
Of western Kansas, where they have
difficulty in getting crop OF corn.
The first sorghum crop put in the
silo was the sweet sorghum, which Is
commonly called cane. Previous ex'
periments with this crop, and the ex-
perience OF some farmers, has given
the general impression that the cane
contains too much sugar, and that ST.
lage made from It would be very sour
and stock would not eat it. Our re-
suits the first year show that silage
made from the cane did not contain
as much acid at any time during the
year as did the silage made from
corn. This, of course, is quite con-
trary to the belief heretofore held by
many, but It is easily explained after
little thought and investigation
Where cane had been made into ST.
lage 1t had been put up entirely too
early. Those who tried 1t had put II
into the silo at the same time that
they cut their corn for silage. Al
this stage of maturity the cane con-
tains entirely too much moisture OF
sap, and If put up at this time 1t Is
certain to result in a sour silage. The
cane was not put up until three weeks
after the corn silage was made. Al
this time the cane seed was hard, but
the stalk was we'll filed with sap
yet 1t did not contain an excess Of
moisture. The cane used in this ex
pertinent was grown on upland soil

possible the following concerning the
cancellation OF the Belleville High
School and Liberty Junior Rugby
game. which was booked for Thanks
giving Day? We the Liberty jun
Tors, claim the championship Of
BeIleville and Northern New Jersey,
having beaten every team we played
this season. Belleville High disputes
our right to such a claim, but still
We cannot arrange game with
them. The game for Thanksgiving
Day had been arranged, we having
cancelled game with an out-of-
town team so as to give Belleville
High q chance, but at the last min
ute they cancelled the game, claiming
we are too heavy. We, the Liberty
Juniors, have been playing together
for the past three seasons and have
beaten the best teams in this section
of the State. We think we have tho
right TO lay claim to the junior cham
pionship. Last year Belleville High
disputed our claim, so we arranged a.
game with them and beat them bad
ly. > Perhaps this is the reason they
have crawled out of meeting us this
season. The climax came last Sun
day, when we played the Oxfords,
of Newark. one of the fastest and
best teams in the State, and defeat
ed them handily. Belleville Highs
players were spectators at this game,
watching our line of play, and pos
slbly they thought we could play just
q little better than they, so they can
