MARKETING MELONS.
New Treatment For Watermelon Stem
End Rot Is Successful.

New Treatment For Watermelon Stem
End Rot Is Successful.
The application of copper sulphate
starch paste or bordeaux paste to the
freshly cut stems of watermelons has
been found to prevent the stem end rot
that has caused heavy losses to melons
in transit in previous years.
This treatment was recommended In
farmers bulletin No. S21 recently is
sued and has been demonstrated at
loading stations by agents of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
The treated melons have been prac-
ticaliy free from stem end rot, where
as shipments sent from infected dis
tricts without treatment have given
much trouble. In one case, two cars
arrived in northwestern city on the
same day. One untreated in venti-
lated car had 25 per cent Of decay.
while the other. which had been treat
ed. although in an ordinary, unventi-
lated box car, had only 2 per cent OF
decay.
Several large shippers are now In
sisting that this treatment be given all
melons they buy, and it appears likely
that the departments method OF con-
troll will quickly come into general use.
The results secured in Florida and
south Georgia justify the adoption of
the treatment in districts now shipping.

HANDLING THE GRAIN.
Reason Why 1t Is More Advisable to
Thrash From Stack Than Shock

Reason Why 1t Is More Advisable to
Thrash From Stack Than Shock
+. Stacking and stack thrashing of grain
are often advisable in spite Of the fact
that the cost is from 10 to 20 per cent
higher than the cost of shock thrash
ing, says Professor Peck of the Mime
sofa station. From five to eight min
utes more are required to stack and
stack thrash bushel of wheat than to
shock thrash the same amount.
The farmer gains by stacking be-
cause he distributes his labor over
longer period, leaving his thrashing to
be done later. when shock thrashing,
owing to weather conditions, lack Of
machines or scarcity of relatively high
priced labor, would have been mad
visable or impossible.
Stacking protects the grain, though
little evidence of the gain here is avail
able.
Stacking preserves the straw much
better for feeding and bedding live
stock. and stack thrashing can usually
be more proftably done near the barns
than can shock thrashing.
If, again, community has not
enough machines to thrash the grain
in short time, stacking as a measure
of protection and safety is advisable.

SILOS FOR DAIRYMEN.
Most Economical Method of Storing
Green Feed For Cattle.

Most Economical Method of Storing
Green Feed For Cattle.
Experiment stations and the best
dairy and stock farms in this country
have proved beyond doubt that a silo
is almost Indispensable to a successful
dairy and live stock business, says the
Pennsylvania State college. If such is
the case, does not its need then be-
come doubly urgent under present con-
ditions?
The silo affords an economical way
of storing green roughage. With the
corn plant there is always a great
waste in harvesting, husking and stor-
ing the dry material The silo elimi-
mates this waste.
An average acre will produce 2,516
pounds of digestible dry matter in TIM
othy hay, while in corn Gear and stalk
it will produce 5,O25 pounds, or prac-
tically twice as much digestible dry
matter The feeding value of these
roughages for dairy cattle is widely
different in favor Of corn, especially
when the silo is used. Silage also has
an additional value through It's reten
ton of the natural plant juices. which
| furnish succulence.
On farms where little alfalfa or clio
yer is grown it is possible to increase
the protein content Of the silo by inter
cropping soy beans with the corn Oh
growing these two crops separately.
If one cannot command sufficient la
Dor to store the green corn in the sill
at the proper stage Of maturity tn
crop may be harvested in the usua
way and left to cure in the shock
Later (several months If need bel whel
labor does become available the cor
can be successfully stored In the silo.
Experiments and practice hav
shown quite conclusively that DIR
shock corn may be successfully pre-
served in the silo If water is added q
the time of storage in amounts b
weight Of one to two times as great a
J the dry slower stored.
Now is the time to plan for buildin
silo for this years corn crop. Woo
stave, wood hoop. monOlithic concret
and wood hood plastered silOs may O

EARLY FLOWING PAYS.
Convincing Demonstration Of Its Value
Occurred In Kansas.

Convincing Demonstration Of lite Value
Occurred In Kansas.
A splendid demonstration Of the val
ne of early blowing in producing large
wheat yields was reported recently In
the Chetopa Advance, says the Kansas
Farmer. Bert Greene and his son Ray
mond, who are among the most sue
cessful farmers in that part of the
state, have just harvested field OF
wheat where early July blowing and
late blowing were in the same field.
They were blowing this field last sum-
mer in July in preparation for wheat,
but something happened that called
them from the field before it was all
plowed. They finished the blowing
just before sowing the wheat In the
fall.
On the July plowed land the wheat
will thrash out about twenty-five bush
els to the acre, while on the part plow-
ed Just before seeding the yield will not
be more than eight bushels to the acre.
The line where the July blowing ended
in the field is distinctly marked as the
wheat stands I'm the shock. Absolutely
| the only difference in the two parts OF
the field is in the different dates of
blowing. 1t cost no more to pillow IN
July than it did in September, so the
twenty-five bushel yield has not cost
any more than the eight bushel yield.

ARE UNABLE TO REACH LONDON

London, July 23.-Another day
light raid, carried out over the east
coast of England yesterday morning,
resulted in the repulse Of about 20
German aeroplanes after they had
dropped number of bombs over
Felixstowe and Harwich, killing
eleven persons and injuring twenty
lsix.
An alarm was sounded in Lon-
don, but before the Germans could
reach any point near the city they
were attacked heavily by defending
squadrons of aircraft which caused
them to beat a hasty retreat. The
damage to property is insignificant.
On official report issued last ev-
|ening says royal flying corps pa
|trol encountered machines returning
Ito their base and brought one down
at sea, near the Belgian coast.
The morning broke bright and
sunny, but thick haze soon APP
peared. At about o'clock the enc
my machines were seen flying
toward the coast. They received
hot reception and were hardly wen
over the coast before their formation
was broken up. They dropped the
bombs hastily before retreating.
Observers say the gunfire which
followed the section which went
down the Essex coast reached pitch
of unusual intensity. 1t was the
movements of this squad which
caused the firing for the first time
of new warning signals inNLondon.
British planes pursued the Ger
mans we'll out to sea, fighting vigor-
ously all the time but handicapped
by the low visibility. Reports Of
heavy firing received from various
quarters indicate that the authors
ties have made considerable improve
ment in the defenses since the last
raid over London.
The attempt lasted barely two
hours. Thousands Of persons turned
out along the coast when the British
planes went up, in the hope of see
ing battles in the air, but the COM
batants soon disappeared in the
haze.
A correspondent in Essex of the
Exchange Telegraph company re-
ports that he witnessed an aerial
battle that lasted almost an hour. A
squadron of seven German aircraft,
travelling in a westerly direction. en-
countered a number of British planes
which compelled them to turn north
ward. They went in this direction
about half mile and then sweryed
to the east.
One German machine was cut off
from the main body and surrounded
|by three British airplanes, which
drove it in the opposite direction
until all four were lost in the haze.
The pursuit of the others contin-
ued, all the machines climbing to
greater height as they fought.
They attained an altitude of 10000
to $4,000 feet and were soon lost to
sight.
Some excitement was caused in
London by the sounding of raid
warnings. Persons who believed
anti-aircraft in action made rush
for cover, the tube stations being ia
vorite places of refuge. Early morn
ling services in the city churches
proceeded without interruption.

Great Army of French War
Aviators to Become Mail
Carriers When Peace Comes

1t is said that the French govern
ment is planning TO convert it's corps
of army aviators, thousands upon thou
sands of them, into mail carriers after
the war. H wS S.
There are no technical difficulties in
the way, according to the Toronto
mail and Empire" ,Airplane engines
have been perfected to the highest der
gree of reliability; their speed has
been developed marvelously. Nothing
short of thick fog, violent thunder
storm or q hurricane bordering almost
on a tornado now serves to prevent
fying-with rarely a casualty, from
natural causes.
Indeed, the greatest defect in the
army aerial service, according to off,
Gals in that branch, is overconfidence
in what the airplane engine can do.
Flights of six and eight and ten hours
without replenishing the gasoline sup
ply are now of common occurrence.
Mountains can be scaled as if they
were mounds under the foot of Brob-
dingnagian. Aviators leave the Brit
ish side of the channel and deposit pas
sengers or messengers on the war front
with no more sense of the unusual
than if they had taken. steamer from
Dover to Boulogne. /, Isl
The possibilities of mail carrying in
difficult regions have not been thor
oughIy investigated, because only the
demands for war efficiency have
brought flying up to the point of de-
pendability needed for general service.
The French government did establish
some postal routes for airmen, but
nothing on an extensive scale was
adopted. Commercially, the utility of
the fullest exploitation. Britain will
have scores Of thousands of expert
aviators, and not many of these will
abandon the. sport which now is serv-
ing the British armiesgso splendidly.
