In NOTICE on the cover of the Home
and Farm Magazine Section of June
81 an article stating that corn In
tended for fodder or silage is planted
much thicker than when raised for
grain. 1 know this is the opinion OF
great many people, but will have to
differ with them. 1t is a weil-known
fact that the more grain there is in the
feed the better it is. If corn is planted
thick it will never make much ear. VI
course, if a roughage is all that is
wanted it may be well to plant some
thicker than for grain; but when
planting corn for silage, plant it and
tend it as though you were raising it
for the crib, for the more and larger
the ear the richer the feed. AS to ton
mage per acre, you will get as many
tons as when planted thick, from the
| fact that the stock and blades will be
larger and heavier, and with the extra
weight of the ear you will raise as
many tons or more than when planted
thick. and when it is cut up fine and
put in the silo the cattle will eat it up
clean, stock and all. I will say here
that the finest and richest corn silage
| ever saw was in silo owned by a
Mr.. Studing some five miles north OF
Eugene, and this corn was raised for
the ear, and when one looked into the
silo the feed was yellow with the grain.
Mr.. studing used it as the grain ration
to fatten Lis hogs, and with good sue
cess But as 1 said before, if fodder is
all that is wanted, then planting thick
will do; but why be contented with
fodder alone when good grain crop
can be raised at the same timef
Plant your corn and handle it as if
you were trying to raise prize winning
ears, is my advice, and you will have
a heavy tonnage and rich feed.

WERE WELL
 TREATED IN GERMANY
Emperor Issued Decree Holding Bur- gomasters Responsible for Harm Be- falling Foreianers.

Correspondence of The Associated
 Press.)
 Rotterdam, Aug. 21.-Americans who found themselves in Germany during were in nowise molested and the Ger man government took every step to protect them. This is the total of the statements made here by Americans returning from Germany. Several in stances of abuse and personal danger were recorded, however, but in every case the excitement incident to the declaration of war, mobilization and resulting high spirits of the people were responsible. Then, too, the few cases recited to The Associated Press correspondent occurred in out of the empire in automobiles were the prin- cipal sufferers.
 Offenders Arrested.
 Germany villagers, unable to dis tinguish the English from the Ameri- can stoned travellers, threatened them and molested them in hotels, .but as soon as it had been made clear that the victims of their wrath were Amer jeans, the most complete apologies were offered. In most cases the of lenders were immediately arrested and summarily punished.
 Took Care of Americans. On August 5. the German emperor is said to have himself issued a de- cree according to which the burgo- masters all over the empire were to be held personally responsible for all Americans. There is every reason to believe, from the accounts told by American refugees, that the Germans went out of their way to take care of the visitors from the United States No Difficulties of Any Sort. | Americans in cities had no difficult ties of any sort. They were warned to keep off the streets after sundown because the lower classes. it was fear ed. might mistake them for English. | While Americans had been requested to leave Germany at their first oppor- tunity. no pressure for their departure was applied
 Easy to Secure Money. 1 Up to about August 5, it was diffi- cult to obtain money in Germany on 1 American paper of any sort. It was soon realized, however, that all Amer ican drafts, notes and letters of credit of standing were good and after that 1t was 8 comparatively easy matter to secure money. Persons who found | 1t impossible to realize on paper in | their possession were given credit by the hotel and boarding house proprie- tors.
 Rooms Free of Charge.
 The Bristol hotel at Berlin, for in- stance, turned 150 rooms over to the Americans absolutely free of charge and those who failed to get rooms at hotels were taken in by families. Sim | liar reports were made by Americans from other parts of the empire.
 Many Americans here assert that the English tourists in Germany had little cause for complaint. A party of them stranded at Cologne was put up free of charge by prominent hotel there. Women and males not of mill itary age were permitted to pass over the Holland border without trouble
