SILoS TO FILL-wHEN AND HOW
JARED VAN wAGENEN

| In the use of the silo, there is nothing
more important than the time of fill
| ing. In the first place, corn intended
| for the silo ought not to be planted too
thickly. OF course, more seed should be
used than is the custom when it is to be
husked for grain, but it is mistake
to plant it so tl.ickly that no ears are
formed and the plant does not reach its
normal development. Experimental
work has shown that when corn is
drilled in rows forty-two inches apart,
the most nutriment per acre will be
secured by having the stalks average
about seven inches apart in the row. 1t
is hard to give any definite rule as to
how much seed to plant per acre, but
| from ten to twelve quarts is a safe
amount.
The oest- flavor ed and most nutritious
silage is secured when corn is nearly
ripe. before harvesting. Ii ought not to
be dead ripe, but there should be ears
that are beginning to dent, and the low
err three or four leaves on the stalks
should be turning yellow, which is one OF
the signs of maturity. II may be safely
said that where one man let's his corn
get too ripe, there are a dozen who put
it in too green If the ensilage is frost.
ed, it is best to cut it down at once
because it is better off lying in bundles
than standing up, teaching in the rain
and blowing away in the wind. If frost
cd corn gets too dry before machinery
is secured to put it into the silo, ten
or more pals of water should be added
to each load going through the cutter.
The finer corn is cut, the more closely
it packs in silo, thus keeping out air
and making better product.
Ensilage- Cutters.
Ensilage-cutters are of two classes, ac-
cording to methods used to elevate the
corn. The older form was the Stat car
rier and the more recent is the blower,
where a blast of air carries the cut
stalks into the slo. The advantages of
the blower lie in that it is more easily
set up, cuts corn finer, and mixes leaves
and heavy part of the plant better, and
is easier to care for in the silo. The one
disadvantage is, the blower requires
more power to operate successfully, al
though a twelve-horsepower engine will
be fairly satisfactory,
To avoid mouldy ensilage, leaves,
stalks, and ears must be uniformly
mixed. Tramping should be around the
outside the center takes care of itself.
Unless feeding from the slo begins at
once il should be covered with swale
grass, green buekwheat straw, or corn
from which the ears have been picked

A. C. Roberts, President of the Ore

trict Commissioners, asking them to

their fruit inspectors to special week

fessor Lewis has promised to inaugur-
ate if sufficient counties respond to
justify the time and expense.
"The tendency would be to cause in
creased efficiency on the part of the
Inspectors and unite the horticultural
interests more Closely" said MIR. Rob-
erts. "The course would touch upon
all subjects pertinent to the fruit
growing industry, with reference to
our own locality, also touching upon all
phases of the culture of the fruit from
the time of bloom until full develop
ment, together with data on picking,
grading, packing, etc.
1.-The fruit interests, including grow
ers, shippers and dealers, will welcome
such steps," said A. p. Bateham, vice
president of the Northwestern Fruit
Exchange, when asked his opinion.
"The interests as a whole should be
unanimous in their approval because
increased efficiency in inspectors will

cerned. The county courts will see the

quest, il is hoped, -

Was He Correct?

William Harman, a resident of Titus
vile, Pa, committed suicide some time
ago because he believed he was his own
grandfather. This is the way he fig
ures it, according to an exchange:
| married a widow with a grown up
daughter. My father visited our house
very often. fell in love with my step
daughter, and married her. This made
my father my son-in-law, and my step
daughter my mother, because she was
my fathers wife. Some time after
ward there was a son born to US, which
made him my fathers brother-in-law
and my uncle, for he was the brother
of my stepmother, my fathers wife.
Then my stepdaughter, wife of my
father, gave birth to a son. He, of
course, was my brother, for he was the
son of my stepdaugher My wife was
grandmother, and | as my wife hus-
band, was also her grandchild at the
same time, and as the husband of one's 5

HUXLEY TELLS OF
CALIFORNIA FRUIT

With his face tanned from several
months work in the hay fields of his
brother-in-law, Bert Entrican. formerly
a resident of this city, h. M. Huxley
arrived last week from California, where
he and his family have been spending
the summer. Naturally Mr.. Huxley
was interested in the fruits of the Cal
ifornia communities.
The Entrican place is near Turlock,
about so miles south of Stockton. While
the community is primarily devoted to
alfalfa, many peaches, apricots and
grapes are grown. And the melon in
dustry, according to Mr.. Huxley, as
sumes enormous proportions. This
summer a thousand carloads of water
melons and some 300 carloads of canta'
loupes have been grown.
MIR. Huxley spent the week, before
sailing from San Francisco to Portland,
at Watsonville, visiting the orchard dis
tricts of that community. "As seen
on the trees, the Newtowns do not look
so very different from ours" he said.
Their fruit is reaching nice size.
The Newtown crop will be mighty good
this year. The Belle Fleure crop,
however, is light.
1.-THE Watsonville growers spray for
coding moth as we as we do here. But
they have never taken care in the
packing of their fruit, and when it ap-
pears in the boxes it never looks so
well as local product.
However, last year four unions did
business in the Watsonville district.
This year fifth is in the field. These
organizations are competing among
themselves to see who will get out the
best quality of pack. AS result the
fruit of the country is going to be of
far better quality.
1.-THE first car of Belle Fleures was
shipped last week by Slavonisns. They
were severely criticised by the legiti-
mate dealers; for the fruit was under
sized and not yet mature.
MIR. Huxley, who will resume his
duties at the Office of the Apple Grow
ers Association within two weeks, says
that the Watsonvile growers are TAX
ing keen interest in the coming Cali
fornis Apple Show to be held this year
at San Francisco.

The Two Frogs

This is an old one, but it is worth
repeating from time to time:
Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl
And one was an optimistic soul,
But the other took the gloomy view.
I'VE shall drown" he said, without
more ado.
So with a last desparing cry
He flung up his legs and said d"Goodby. "
Quoth the other frog with merry grin,
81 can't seem to get out, but | won't
give in;
I'll just swim around with the hope in
tent
That life and living for me is meant. "
Bravely he swan till it would seem
His struggles began to churn the cream.
On the face of the butter he at last
stopped
And out of the bowl he gaily hoped.
What of the moral? 'Tis easily found
If you can't hop out, keep swimming
around.

The prompt manner in which Sec reary of Commerce Redfie1d has talk en up the reference by MT. Meilen to 4'stinderboxes,s in speaking of the steamboats, and ordered an inspection of such vessels running between New York and New England ports. shows his quick response to duty.
 There is >no reason to believe that Mr MelIen was referring to those ves- sels in anything more than general terms, or that the steamboats of New England are deserving of such desig. nation to greater degree than all steamboats of like character through out the country, but there can be no harm from the inspection. If the in- spectors whose duty 1t is to regularly look them over have done their duty and insisted upon the requirements of federal regulations. no startling dis closures can be anticipated.
 It is we'll said by Secretary Redfaeld that justice to the owners of the ves- sells requires that all doubt upon this subject should be resolved quickly; justice to the public requires that the facts be fully ascertained and clearly stated with the least possible delay.'' It Is a we'll recognized fact that all the safety possible should be thrown about all kinds of transportation. There is need of adequate protection at all times, and such can be best served through prevention. Therefore let the inspection come If it can do good, though it only shows up the injustice of the term applied. it will be wecom-l ed. New England has confidence in it's water transportation lines, but if they need attention they should get it without waiting for disaster.

MExlco's LAND QUESTION.

Even the Mexican envoys cannot deny the importance of the land question in establishing and assuring the future peace of that republic. It is one if not the chief cause of the disturbances which are continually arising among it's ignorant and unsatisfed people, and none realize it's importance more than those who are gathering at the mediation conference. It is perhaps natural for the Mexieans to feel that they cannot by their action bind the future government of Mexico to such land regulations as the mediators and they themselves may consider to be necessary. yet there is encouragement in the statement that the agrarian question will not be allowed to disrupt the mediation proceedings.
 While it may be impossible to bind Mexico of the future to any readjust- ment of it's land troubles, it is just such a body as is now assembled at Niagara Falls which can perhaps make some of the most valuable and impar- tial suggestions for future guidance. Coming from such a body, they should carry much weight, and at least form a basis for needed reform. There is no better time for making start than now: none better qualified to suggest the method of procedure and urge it upon those people than the represent atives of the republic assembled, and the quicker it can be done the more it means for the prevalence of better conditions. No future government can afford to ignore any suggestions which may come from such a body upon that vexing question.
