Good Growing Weather.

The optimist who hunts around for
something good in everything may,
if he will go far enough afield, find
that the torrid wave which warmed
up the early weeks of September, and
which is still on the job, had a mis-
sion of usefulness.
For one thing it means an immense
increase in the country's corn crop
There is always late corn that grows
and develops until the frost touches it
Corn grows amazingly in hot weather
especially if there is plenty of rain
fall. And so, very likely, the prolong-
ed hot spell of September means 200,-
100000 bushels of corn added to the
corn crop this year.
1t means, also, a secondary hay crop
Plenty of grass in the fields that will
save the hay in the barn. Hot weather
without rain, kills the vendure, but
not so when there is a sufficiency oi
moisture. More corn, more grass
means more pork, more mutton, more
beef. AL flesh is but grass, saith tbs
Book of Wisdom, and the suggestion
may be further elaborated into the say
ing that all grass, all grain, all the
fruits of the orchard are but forms o
water, sunshine and air.
This hot September weather is trans
muting into corn which later will b,
Transmitted into pig. Let us all hun
a cool spot and be cheerful.-Balti

London Stock Exchange Seats.

1t costs considerably more to become
a member of the London stock ex.
change nowadays than in the days
when its headquarters were at "Old
Jonathan's,' on Cornhill Serving for
four years as a stockholders clerk
reduces the cost. but an outsider has
to pay an entrance fee of 500 guineas
and to find three members who for the
ensuing four years will be responsible
for the sum of $2,500 apiece, this be.
ing forfeitable in the event of the new
member being hammered during
the period In addition, the candidate
must buy three stock exchange shares,
the present price of which is about
$3.50 per share, and he must purchase
from some retiring member a nomina,
tion. This can now be bought for
about $3.50, although when nomina.
tions were first created the top price
was s3,500

DASH TO VOTE, BUT
FIND BOOTH CLOSED.
Over so Brooklyn Voters in Losing
Race to Cast Their Ballots.

Waiting until the last minute. to cast
their ballots more than fifty voters
were turned away from the polls of the
first precinct of the Fifth district at
Brooklyn, this county, Tuesday after
noon when they finally made dash
to get their ballots in.
Some who lost their votes are said
to have hung about the polls all day,
while few others were workmen who
put of voting until they returned from
work The polling booth, which is To-
Gated in the station-house at Brooklyn,
was besieged all day by the watchful
walters, who were anxious to find out
how things were running, but still
were satisfied to hold off until the last
minute to cast their ballot.
Shortly before closing time crowd
of men returning from work appeared
at the polls to vote. The watchful
walters realized the situation and there
was a rush to the polling booths. Men
struggled to get in the door to vote, but
when o'clock came and the polls
closed fifty men were still trying vain
ly to get in the place.

Disappearing Peach Trees.

Some of the Colorado fruit growers
on the eastern slope of the Rocky
mountains have adopted an ingenious
method for protecting their peach or.
chards during the winter season. The
plan, which has been found to be a
meritorious one, consists of bending
the trees down to the ground, cover.
ing their branches with hay or straw
and then burying them under about
two inches of soil, in much the same
way as blackberry and raspberry
bushes are cared for in cold climates.
Although in the past the peach trees
in this section suffered much damage
and frequently were killed outright
during the winters, by this method of
culture they are surviving severe
weather without difficulty and bearing
good yields of fruit.

The Wicked Printer.

UnobseSved and unannounced the
president of church society entered
the composing room of a newspaper
just in time to hear these words is
sue from the mouth of the boss
printer:
Billy, go to the devil, and tell him
TO finish that murder he began this
morning. Then kill William ]. Bry-
ans youngest grandchild, and dump
the Sweet Angel of Mercy into the
helibox. Then make up that Naughty
Partisan Actress and lock up The

Horrified, the good woman fed and
now her children wonder why they

sEED CORN SHOULD BE SELECT
ED NOW.
Fall Selection OF Seed Corn From
WelI-DeVeloped Stalks Gives Best
Results.
NICHOLAS sCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The only proper way to select seed
corn is from the standing stalks. AS
soon as the crop ripens 90 through the
field with a basket or bag hung across
the shoulder and husk the corn from
desirable stalks that have produced
good-siEed ears without having any
special advantages of air, moisture
and fertility. Avoid very large ears
on stalks standing single or with
large amount Of space around them
Preference should be given those
plants that have produced well In com.
petition with full stand. Late-matur.
Ing plants with ears which are heavy
because of an excessive amount of sap
should be passed by; sappiness is like
ly to destroy quality. Everything be-
Ing equal. short. thick stalks are pref
erable. They are not so easily blown
down, permit thicker planting, and in
general are more productive thar
slender stalks. The position Of the
ear is also important. II should not
be too high, as the higher the ear is
placed on the stalk the more apt the
.
storm. The ear should also have q
tendency TO droop rather than to point
upward. because of the danger OF
water getting into the husk and caus
ing sprouting Of molding. II is an In
herited tendency Of corn to produce
suckers; therefore, other things beink
equal. seed should be taken from stalks
10
The same day the seed corn is gath
cred the husked ears should be put In
a dry place where there is free cir
rulation OF air. They should be placed
In such a manner that they do not
touch each other. such as tying them
In strings with binder twine or hang
Ing them up in bunohes with a few
husks left on the end. Good seed is
often ruined because 1t Is thought to
be dry enough when gathered and is
left in sacks or In a pile for some time
before putting away to dry. During
the warm fall weather with excessive
amount Of moisture In the cobs and
kerneis the ears will heat or mold I'm
. remarkably short time.

PROPER FILLING PREVENTS
SPOIIlNG OF SILAcE.
slIo Should Be Albright and sIlaos
Wsll-Paeksd.
C. E. woLCOTT,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

As the season for filling the silo is
now here, there are a number Of facts
which the farmer should bear in mind
If he expects to make silage of good
quality. with a minimum loss Of food
material.
In The first place. the silo should be
air-tight Wherever air is admitted
after the silo is filed. the silage will
spoil. Cracks in the wooden silo can
be covered with tar paper and made
air-tight. The joints around the door
can be made air-ught by the use of
tar paper. At the Experiment Station,
the doors are covered with one or two
layers Of tar paper, then forced into
place. BY taking such precautions, G
considerable loss can be prevented.
Evening capital and Maryland gazette., 1915-09-16


Field corn is ready for the silo when
the lower leaves begin to dry out and
the kernel begins to glaze. At this
stage, the husk will also begin to turn
yellow. The knives on the cutter
should be kept sharp and the corn
should be cut so that the pieces will
be about one-half inch long. But cut
ting in small lengths, the silage will
pack better and greater quantity
can be placed in the silo. 1t is also
very important that the silage be well
packed. Two or three men should be
kept in the silo. BY packing well, the
air will be forced out and considerable
silage, which would otherwise be lost
will be saved. If the corn is too dry
to pack well, water should be added
If it is found necessary to add water,
1t should be run in as the silo is filed
Sweet corn should be allowed to
stand a little longer than field corn
in order to make a good quality Of
silage.
While the silo is being filled, it is
well to start the blower before any
one enters the silo. II all the doors
are in place, the heavy gases which
are formed cannot escape and acci
dents may be prevented by taking pre-.
cautions to blow out any gas that may
be present.
When the filing is finished, II
would be a good plan to cover the
silage with straw, then pour water or
the straw, so that it will pack. This
will prevent the loss of silage at the
top. As the silage settles, it should
be packed each day.
