s,Lo AGAIN TO THE RESCUE.
Frosted Corn Can Be Utilized to Full
est Extent in Silo.

Frost has already killed the corn IN
some sections of Iowa and the con-
tinued cool weather has SO retarded
the maturing of the crop that 1t seems
certain that there will be considerable
corn which will not be fully matureo
when the general freeze-up comes.
Under these conditions the farm
with silo has a great advantage IN
utilizing the crops to the fullest ex-
tent say the farm crops men at Iowa
state college. Immature corn contains
an excessive amount of water ana
should be allowed to dry out some
what before putting 1t in the silo. II
the corn Is cut Immediately after oe-
ing frozen. the leaves which Wouid
otherwise be lost may be saved. The
bundles may be allowed to cure some
what on the ground or in shocks
Many sic. are flied with corn which
has been allowed TO cure fully in the
shock. Good silage can be made from
such corn by introducing water with
the corn. This can best be done py
running the water into the blower.

MORE FAME FOR TULSA



Way down in Oklahoma where the wells spoutng oil
And the humid heat of summer mercury to boil
They had a great reception celebrating Belgian day,
And the welcoming committee wanted everything
o. K.
So they decked themselves in garments of highly
formal STYLE
And each member wore frock coat and stiff and
shiny tile,
They wrapped themselves in wastcoats and in starchy
shirts to boot,
But-the governor attended in Palm Beach Suit!
The welcoming committee stewing in the heat,
They swetered from their Kellys to their patent
leather feet,
But partially in envy, and in disapproval, too
They frowned upon the governor, cool and calm to
view
He met their frowns unroubed his eyes in pity dwelt
On various committeeman, who seemed about to melt;
He watched them sweat and suffer, each conventional
galoot,
While he blithely comfy in his Palm Beach Suit!
brave and sapient ruler who refuses to be bound
By ancient ties of custom which neither wise nor
sound,
You give greater courage to defy the foolish rule
Which makes it most improper to be sensible and cool
We chant song of gratitude to who has the sand
To dress the way the weather, not the tailor may
demand
So set the bells to ringing out and let the whistles toot
To the governor at Tulsa in his Palm Beach Suit!
