harvesting KaOliang

When the seed heads ripen in
September. they can be harvest
ed by hand at about the same
rate per day that corn can be
picked by hand. This method
OF harvest makes threshing very
easy or the heads need not be
threshed at all as horses, cows,
hogs, sheep and poultry will eat
II readily without threshing.
Inc stalks remain green up to
the time the heads are ripe and
can be utilized either as silage
Or fodder. though they are not
as valuable as corn for this pur-
pose, not being as leafy and the
stems being more pithy. Just
what the silage or forage value
IS as compared with corn, has
not yet been determined.
A number of familiar mach
mes may be used for harvesting
Tue crop. such as the corn binder,
'he row header. or the grain
header, the former, being prefer

Silape From Dry Corn Fodder

1t sometimes happens that corn
is cut and allowed to dry as fod-
der. This dry fodder may be
converted into splendid feed by
putting into the silo, suggests
Professor Larson of State Col
leee. He says: Corn fodder in
this condition should have water
added as it is packed into the
silo. Care should be taken to
have all of it wetted uniformly
so that no dry pockets remain,
which become mouldy and spoil
ed. Additional packing is also

Secretary Of Commerce De.
ciares Steamers Were Sold
at Big Profit.

A spirited attack on tho officers Of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
for their statements that they had been
compellAi TO sell their vessels and
withdraw from Pacific trade by the La
Follette's seamen's law is made by Sec
rotary Of Commerce Redfield today.
What really impclled the company to
sell, Secretary Redfield alleged. was a
profit Of more than n million dollars on
the sale Of It's five steamers 70 tho
international Mercantile Marine Com
pany.
The Pacific Mail Company objected
particularly TO the language clause Of
the seamen's law. which It held would
require the abandonment OF Asiatic
crews, with consequent prohibitive
cost OF wage and food.
Secretary Redfield declares. however
the department Rad not prepared regu.
lations for the enforcement Of the law
when the steamers were sold. and the
learn the spirit In which the law would
be administered. but acted on an as
sumed Interpretation of the law which
had no official sanction.
Moreover, Secretary Redheld said ne
wrote r. =. Schwerin, general manager
Of the company. and assured him that
the department would not nut the con-
struction on the language test that the
company had put upon It. and suggest
ing that the company give tho law q

Bodies of Citizens
Ask Schools Use
Superintendent Thurston Gratfied
by Desire Of Associations
TO Meet in Buildings.

Many applications for the use Of
public schools by citizens associa-
tions have been received by the Board
OF Education. More than a dozen Of
these already have been granted and
more will be acted upon at the COM
ing meeting.
I'VE are greatly pleased with these
applications" said Superintendent t..
l.. Thurston. land the use of the
schools for any legitimate purpose
is welcomed. AS Tor the strictly So
cial center work, now carried on only
at the Grover Cleveland and the
James Ormond Wilson Normal Schools
we had not expected that this work
would be done in a rush. Social
centers must develop as communities
where the schools are situated need
them. and as leaders grow up who
can take charge OF them. Those we
now have served for experimental pur-
poses. and the Grover Cleveland has
worked out many helpful IDEAS"
Many OF the school buildings are
not yet available for any other than
school work because they have no
assembly halls, and because there Is
no way Of lighting them at night. Mr.
