COAL VALLEYITES

Coal Valley citizens are nothing if

winter. During the summer they had
a weeks Homecoming, when the vii
lage was visited b. hundreds, many OF
whom were former residents whose
homes now are at a distance.
Now Z project is on foot 10 erect an
auditorium large enough and properly
equipped for the entertainment OF pub

sales OF live stock. Near Coal Valley
are several breeding farms that are
Known far and wide and number of
auction sales of stock hogs and cattle
have been held there. These sales
bring buyers from several states. With
a suitable Building, it is believed that

HUNDRED DOLLARS
TOCORN GROWERS
German Trust & Savings Bank
of This City Offers Val
liable Prizes.
OPEN TO ALL IN COUNTY
Largest Yield on a Given Acre May
Be Secured by Any Method and
from Any Seed.

At the closing session of the Rock
Island county farmers institute at
Coal Valley yesterday Vice President
]. l.. Vernon of the German Trust &
Savings bank of this city authorized
the announcement that that institu-
ton will offer 500 in cash prizes for
the largest yields OF corn per acre
grown the coming season. The prizes
will be divided into $50, $50 and $50.
Competition is open to all in the
county. Any variety may be grown
and the seed obtained from any source.
II will be necessary merely for those
competing to signify before planting
time that they have entered the con-
test and to specify the ground upon
which the corn is to be grown. This
condition will make it impossible for
a grower of corn to pick out a prom.
Using portion of his field and enter it
after the crop is growing. Nothing
less than an acre can be entered and
the land must lie in one body.
REPORT TO INSTITUTE.
It will be expected that the grower
will be prepared to tell how the crop
was produced and it is likely that the
successful competitors will be called
upon to tell their stories before the
next farm institute.
II is believed that this contest will
arouse a great deal of interest and dc
much toward further stimulating corr
growers in the adoption of scientific
methods.

what was going to happen. Even in
the earliest days Mr.. Belasco was
keen and quite unreticent admirer of

MANY ORCHARDS, YOUNG SHADE TREEs
AND WlNDBREAKS RUINED BY RABBITS
Too Much Attention Cannot Be Given to Task Of Removing
Brush Piles and Tickets Which may Serve as Breeding
and Hiding P|aces-Traps Are Effective. ,:

In the first place. it is very i'm
portant that all brush piles and
thickets near the orchards, which may
serve as breeding and hiding places
for the rabbits. be removed.
Traps of various sorts are effective.
A simple and successful method is to
sink barrel in the ground level with
it's surface. Fit the head slightly
smaller than the top and allow it to
swing freely on a rod or old broom
stick. Pieces Of apple or grains of
corn may be placed on the outer edge
of the cover and wheS the rabbit
attempts to get these, the lid tips up
and he slides into the barrel, while
the lid, which is slightly heavier on
one side than the other, assumes its
original position. The heavier side
should strike against a heavy nail or
bolt SO that only the lighter side OF
the lid will drop. The whole thing
should be covered over with brush
or light fiat stones, so as to make an
enticing place for the rabbits.

catching rabbits has been designed
by Mr.. Walter Wellhouse; and used

SIL0 BECOMES A
NATIONAL FACTOR
BY Use Of Huge Receptacle
Large Part of Principal Crops
Can Be Saved.
(By A., l.. HAECKER).

The leading agricultural subject of
the day is the silo, and it's coming is
OF national Importance. No subject is
receiving so much attention from the
experiment stations, farm papers, and
farmers Institutes. All the great in
dustries depending on live stock, such
as the stock yards, creameries, pack
ing houses and transportation compa-
MES are advocating its use. 1t is a
conservation subject of great impor-
lance, for with it can be saved a large
part of our principal crop. Nearly
forty per cent of the food elements
OF the corn crop of this country are
now wasted. BY the use of the silo
this could be saved and by 50 doing,
hundreds of millions of dollars could
be added to our national wealth. The
corn forage which annually goes to
waste in this country is often referred
to as the Billion Dollar Waste" Is it
any wonder we are complaining of the
high cost Of living?
In the past eleven years the great
stock industry of the United States in
comparison with our population, has
been showing a decline. This condi-
ton has been largely brought about
by the rise of price in all kinds of
stock foods, thereby making a small
er profit to the producer. This in turn
has driven many men out OF the stock
business and discouraged others from
going in. With the silo the cost of
producing stock and stock products
can be greatly lowered. Experiments
have shown that by the use Of the silo
in place Of the old feeding methods,
butter can be produced from 8 to 10c
per pound cheaper, and saving made
on the production of beef from $3.50
to $500 per hundred pounds. AS the
largest part of our food comes from
live stock it is plain to see the rela-
ton of the silo OF our national food
supply.
Sllage can be made from nearly all
kinds of farm forage and is a good
ard cheap ration for horses, cattle.
sheep, swine and chickens. 1t re-
quires little storage space, is labor
saving device, doubles the value of the
corn crop, triples the stock carrying
capacity of the land, restores the fer
tility of the soil, and returns Its user
annually one hundred per cent on the
Investment.

FURNISHING FRUIT
SUPPLY FOR HOME
One Must Understand Nature
and Habits OF Tree to Handle ;
1t in Right Way.

II we were to begin anew in the
work OF establishing an orchard for
the home with the information we
have gained by observation and expe-
rience in the past, we would follow
the course here laid down, says 4
writer in the Farm Life
One thing we have found true is
that one must understand the nature.
and habits Of the tree or plant in order
to handle it in a right way. The
planting. pruning. cultivating, spray
ing and fertilizing, each and all, will
become easier as VIC understand the
needs of the tree. The same treat
ment of the peach and plum, in the
| matter Of pruning will not answer for:
the pruning OF the pear or apple.
The nature of the peach is to have.
continuous culture If one wants good
fruit and healthy trees, while the pear
will not stand continued culture be-
cause of diseases arising from imma-
ture wood, especially blight. which at
tacks first this growth. The same
knowledge of the small fruits is re-
quired to succeed with them.
Just as in other callings one must
understand the business, so it is in
this. 1t is from this long experience
that We give these methods.
Location is an important matter.
Nearness to the home should be con-
sidered on account of convenience
ard to guard against maraUders raid
ing your fruits Location should af-
ford protection from cold winds in
the winter or extremes Of drought in
the summer. If these cannot be
found naturally then they must be
given artificially. For these purposes
the evergreers are the best to use
and they shotld be set out with the
planting of the orchard
If the location is such that the
morning sun strikes the trees on cold.
frosty mornings, sunscald will result
unless some protection is given. I:
il advisable n this case to head the
tree low SO that the body of the tree
will be shielded.
Any soils. if not wet. will answer
for the fruits in general, but each
variety has a preference The main
thing IT. to have it dry and the highe:
grounds are to be preferred, az
frosts are not so destructive. Avoid
locations as are subject to heavy
drafts of cold air. as such soils are
cold and not fitted for fruits.

Timothy ExactionS.

Timothy is not more exhaustive of
plant food than many other crops, but
the trouble with timothy is that it
is exhaustive like millet, from the
standpoint of the humus and from the
standpoint of deterioration of the tex
ture of the soil. OF course, timothy
will remove considerable quantities
of plant food, but not more so than
many other crops.

TWO REALLY GOOD STORIES
Humorous Anecdotes Which He
Ayers Are True

sentative Sen Johnson, who now steps
up to the plate and tells about it.
The weather WIS bad the morning
after the victor got there and he de-
cided to stay another night. 1t look ed
a trife threatening the next day and
the minister said he thought Provi
dence had intended that he remain
there in their hospitable midst for
one more night. So that evening when
they held family prayer, the host Of
fered this supplicat!on:

have a bright and propitious day to-
morrow that the good brother may

about a preacher. This one was col.

the little Kentucky town where he
had been living, in consequence If
some chicken thefts that led to war

He beat it away from there and ent

where he got temporary pulpit. Just

Tree Renovation.

Tree renovation is now in order. 1t
pays wonderfully when properly done.
The first thing is to remove the dead
branches, then the interfering ones,
the suckers and the water sprouts.
Then next scrape off and burn the
rough bark to kill insects. Finally
paint all wounds larger than one-half
inch with white lead and oil.
