structive work soon after the melons
start to grow.
Soils once infected will continue to
be infected for five and sometimes ten
years; though other crops are grown
during that time. No other means of
escape from wilt is known than to
plant in ground where melons have not
previously grown, and take care to
prevent the infection of the new
ground.
The common method of infection
which can be prevented is that of put
ting on the ground manure from AMI
mails that have eaten watermelops or
vines. Frequently watermelons are
followed by COW peas and when the
hay is cut some Of the watermelon
vines go into the hay and thus infect
the manure with the wilt which, when
placed on land, will give rise to the
disease for as long as ten years should
watermelons be- grown where il has

is to slice lengthwise boiled sweet DO

is to remove the insides from baked
potatoes, season them well with melt

toes cut parboiled sweet potatoes into

suing few edicts. We do not hear

One Is q moderately wide-brimmed

odd steel ornaments mounted on

earth or in the air above It. Perhaps
this Ii q part Of their fascination.
A hat Of this kind must be devel.
oped in materials Of excellent quality
and will be beautiful In dark-colosed
velvet with plumes in shades Of the

DAIRY
FACTS
RULES FOR FILLING A sILo


To farmers who are filling silos this
year for the first time, the Iowa agri.
cultural experiment station offers
these suggestions:
The corn should be cut when the
kernels are dented, or when about q
fourth of the husks and lower leaves
are turning brown. It should be as
near maturity as possible and yet con.
tain enough moisture to insure fer.
mentation.
Either q half-inch of three-quarter-
inch cut Is best because that length
insures less waste and q larger pack
Of corn in the silo.
Slow filling makes It possible to
pack the corn more thoroughly and
get in a larger tonnage. With rapid
filling the cost is less, but to fill to
capacity the silage should be allowed
to settle and then refill.
Corn should be uniformly packed in
the silo and with good distribution of
stalks and ears. II the sides are kept
about two feet higher than the cen.
ter. the silage wedges against the
sides, keeps in the heat Of fermenta-
ton and kills molds.
Water needs to be added when I'LL
ing II the corn in the silo is not moist.
Water must always be added when the
corn is very ripe, when the corn is
severely frozen before 1t is properly
matured. or when filling late in the
fall with shocked corn.
Keep the sides Of the silo alright
by filing cracks with soft clay. II the
silo is wooden, or with cement II of
masonry.
