When the Stallings-M Mitchell com

that Stallings is capable, a good judge

STORE CORN STALKS
ROughage at Premium Next Winter
Hay, Alfalfa "Out of Sight,

Chicago, Aug. 23.-Farmers-save
your corn stalks, or face a fodder
shortage this winter.
This was the warning sounded here
today to mid-western farmers by ]. B.
Lamson, agricultural expert for the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail-
road. The warning goes for the en-
tire country, Lamson says.
"A hay famine exists and unless
farmers utilize every piece of corn
stalk or feed, there will be a bigger
scarcity of livestock and consequent
big rise in meat values" said Lamson.
Ransom declared that the July hay
crop was short six million tons, as
compared with the production of 109.-
100000 tons in July, 1916
I'VE have been having such high
prices for grain that the livestock has
been sacrificed" he said. Last win
ter we had a lot of winter killing of
meadows, which cut down the hay
acreage.
THE farmer, to make up the de-
ffcit, put in large crops of beans, fruit
and corn and sold at high prices. Con-
sequently a shortage of forage was
created.
Alfalfa is now selling in Nebraska
from SIS to $40 ton. Last year it
brought 81.
"a survey just completed shows it
is impossible to get hay at a reasona-
BILE price and the only soi1tion is to
educate the farmers to store the corn
stalks"
Lamson declares that heretofore
most farmers have let the stalks stand
in shocks during the winter months
and burned them up in the spring.

New York. Aug. 23.-George Stall

So the Miracle Man of Boston had
