6. Barley and Vetch.

8. Glover and Rye Grass.
Corn is at its best for silage when
the grain is glazed and we'll dented.
A common practice is to fill the silo
when the lower leaves of the standing
corn have dried up about half way to
the ears. While some put the whole
plant into the silo with success, it
should always be put through an en-
silage cutter. Much more can be put
into the silo and it will keep better.
The crop is most conveniently cut
with corn binder, hauled direct to
the cutter and put into the silo.
Select varieties which mature reason
ably early in your community.

when in full bloom. Rain makes no
difference here. Frequently the crop
is put in whole, but the silage packs
much better if the clover is put
through the cutting box. Corn and
clover mixed make excellent silage.
Oats and peas, as we'll as barley and
peas should be cut when the grain is
in the dough. If the peas and the
grain we're sown at proper intervals
the peas would then be about right
for table use. Oats and vetch or
barley and vetch should be cut at the
same stage. Alfalfa is considered a
difficult crop to silo. 1t is believed
best results are obtained by cutting
it when full bloom and putting into
the silo before the plants wilt. The
silo should be deep in order to pack
it thoroughly.
Nearly all crops grown on the farm
can be sliced. Patches of grain

the ears have been removed. in fact

COST OF SILAGE.
Twenty-one farms in Western
Washington report cost OF silage
per ton in the silo. The amounts
named range from ST.. 90 per ton for
uncut clover silage to $3.50 per ton
for clover and rye grass. In Eastern
Washington, on 10 farms the figures
for corn silage vary from S1.OO to
s.. 90 per ton.
The reports are

over portion of the Lincoln highway

direct to Pittsburgh.
From the Smoky city to Bedford they
found an excellent macadam highway.
with an occasional break in it. Leaving
Bedford, the route was via Chambers
burg to Gettysburg. where they visited
the famous battlefield. They came to
Washington via the short route
Frederick and Rockville.
The start was made from Des Moines
June 6. After spending a few days
they will return via Philadelphia, New
York, Boston. where they will spend
ten days, going from there to Buffalo
and Niagara Falls The members of

passed the Monroeville post Office on the

arrived at Franklinville at IL o'clock at

were soon on our way to the quaint little
hamlet Of Pole Tavern. which name will
be seen on the various sign posts at the
forks and cross roads. The town is
known today as Pitts Grove. The tav-

$50 years old and is to be seen on the
