HOW TO MAKE GOOD sILAoE

Various Methods That May BE Uaed

Corn should be harvested for sflaRe

Sorghums should be allowed 10

Harvest with corn binder as bun.

Mince the Forage.
Chop the forage In lengths not to
exceed one-half to three-uuarters
inches in length. They pack more
closely and therefore exclude air more
effectively.
Distribute the light and heavy par.
t1cles uniformly over the surface OF
the silo to insure even settling.
Keep the surface in the silo saucer.
shaped with the high side next to the
walls
Tramp the entire surface thorough.
ly, but more specially around the
walls.
Use Plenty Of Water.
If the crop has been frosted or rather
mature add plenty of water. Do not
be afraid of adding too much but avoid
adding too little
Running water into the blower of
the cutter is the best way to add wa.
ter as it is then evenly distributed.
Snap the ears out of the last two or
three loads of corn to save the grain.
When refilling on old silage, remove
all spoiled silage before putting in
new
Seal the silo by thoroughly tramp
ing and soaking the top Of the silage
fer several days after filing and allow
ing the silo to seal ITSELF
If your silo was air and water tight
at the beginning you will have good

THE F|NATI9N CT NJ
TROCEN IN The SOIL
Experimental Station BacterIoloolst
says Bacteria Take Nitrogen From
Air For Deposit in Coll.

It Is well known fact that either
fields or unbroken land allowed to run
without tillage will gradually increase
In nltrates, sometimes as much as
twenty-five to thirty percent For a
number of years this was a matter of
much discussion and was explained in
various ways. However, it was final
ly discovered that this was the work
of bacteria and that these bacteria
take free nitrogen from the air and
convert it into plant food in the soil.
This process is called nitrogen f1xa-
ton"
Process of Fixation.
Tnere is another process of f1Xa
ton which must be distinguished from
the process just mentioned and that is
the process which takes place In the
nodules on the roots of leguminous
plants. Both of these processes of tx
alton are brought about by bacteria
but the organisms which cause them
are entirely different The bacteria
which work in the nodules will not fix
nitrogen In the soil while those which
work in the soil will not fix nitrogen
In the nodules of legumes.
Bacteria as Aid
The bacteria which fx free nitro
gen in the soil are capable of doing
their work quite rapidly. It has been
demonstrated quite conclusively that
they are able to fix considerable
amounts Of nitrogen in as short a time
as 10 days or two weeks when all OF
the controlling factors are favorable.
Only part Of the factors which con-
troll their work have been determined.
but some Of the more important ones
are known. Probably one of the more
important of these factors is the ad-
d1t1on OF lime to the soil as 1t seems
that lime is great help to these or.
ganisms In carrying on their work.
They usually work In the first foot of
soil or In that part which is reached
by the pillow, but as previously stated
they may also work in soil that has
never been titled.
Value Of Bacteria.
The value of their work can hard.
~ be estimated in dollars and cents
Tor they work almost the entire year
storing up in the soil this most cost
. ~ OF plant food, while at the same
time they are practically unaided IN
their work and do not cost the farmer
one cent.

THE AUSTRIAN NOTE sTINds

The American Government having
thoroughly examined the circum-
stances of the. sinking of the An
coma, reached it's final decision and
sent to the Austrian government
what was in effect an ultimatum
based on the facts in our posses
sion, nothing remains to be dis
cussed, from the American point Of
view, except the single question of
whether Austria is or is not going
to give the prompt reparation which
we have demanded.
Nevertheless, aside from the
clever evasion, with the almost bril-
liant casuistry of the Austrian re-
ply, there Is bitter sting to its re-
proach that we have not given Aus
tria anything like the indulgence of
discussion which we gave to Ger
many in the infinitely more harrow
ing case of the Lusitania.
Now it is true that when there
was no question whatsoever about
the Lusitania facts we spent months
and months in debate and even chat
ter with the Berlin foreign Office.
But the position of the American
people, backing up their Govern
ment to the handle in this instance
must be not that we are wrong in
our peremptOry dealing with Aus.

procrastinate with Germany then
but that our procedure was scanda-
lously wrong then and is unquali.

THE LOBSTER SHORTAGE

Unless something effective is done
about it the next generation will
have to look for new symbol of
high living in the eating line to men
tion in the same breath with cham
pagne. The annual report of the
Bureau of Fisheries shows how rap
idly the lobster is becoming extinct.
In twenty-four years, to be exact,
the lobster output has decreased go
per cent. The bureau is "much con-
cerned" over the downward trend.
The fishermen have nothing to COM
plain about, because the price has
gone up 178 per cent. But if the
present slump continues high prices
won't help them, because soon there
will not be any catch at all; there
fore no sales at any price.
Blame for the disappearance OF
the lobster may be laid partly at the
door of the various lobster-producing
States, which have taken no con-
certed action to protect the fisheries
as the bureau points out, but more
than that it may be attributed to ar
inherent human trait. Lobster has
come to be looked on as a dish of g
certain sort of distinction. We have
the lobster belt, lobster palaces, lob
ster dinners. So this awkward, un
savory looking crustacean-owr
cousin to the homely crawfish o.
fresh waters-has been valued fal
beyond, perhaps, his just deserts.
Probably if ham and eggs were Il
become so scarce that only thu
wealthy could eat them, they, too
would be as highly priced.
