CORN FOR FODDER AND SILO
Plant an Early Variety for Green Feed
for Cows During Summer-cuIti.
walton Kills Weeds.

For feeding green to COWS during
the summer plant an early variety Of
corn. Select rim-cut, sod-ground, or
ground from which a crop Of crimson
clover or green rye has been cut of.
Plow the ground, harrow and roll be-
fore the fresh plowed ground can dry
out. Mark out the long way Of field
and drill half bushel Of corn and 400
pounds Of q standard bone fertilizer
to the acre. This is much the quick
est and most economical way. It
saves time and labor.
The corn is put in at the right depth
and without waste Of seed. -Four hun
dred pounds Of good superphosphate
to the acre, applied to good sod land,
will bring good crop Of forage. II
the land Is thin, spread coat Of ma
nure and harrow it in, then drill the
corn in with the phosphate. Run the
drills three feet apart. If the field IL
weedy, plant in hills, 80 the crop can
be cultivated both ways. As soon as
the corn can be plainly seen, start the
sulky cultivator, using the steel chisel
teeth.
Early cultivation kills weeds, and
stars vigorous growth Of corn. Plant
the variety Of corn that is best suited
to your soil and climate. Homegrown
seed is best and much the cheapest.
The number Of acres to plant will de-
pend upon the capacity Of the silo, and
the number of stock to feed. One acre
Of good land, given thorough culture,
will yield ten to twelve tons Of forage.

GARDEN CULTIVATION
Never Permit Soil to Become Baked
or to Form a Crust

The importance of thoro and con-
tinuous cultivation in the home
vegetable garden is pointed out in a
new farmers bulletin of the United
States department of agriculture, No.
S1S, "The Small Vegetable Garden. "
After the seeds have sprouted or
after the plants have been set in
their permanent location, continued
cultivation becomes necessary.
The gardener should never per-
NIT the surface of the soil to become
baked or even to form an appreciable
crust. Constant stirring with hand
tools or a wheel cultivator should
be practiced between the rows and
about the plants. Such stirring
permits the air to penetrate the soil,
where it facilitates chemical action
and bacterial activity, destroys
weeds which otherwise would utilize
large amounts of plant food, and,
finally, conserves the moisture sup
ply. The rake is perhaps the gard
ener's most valuable tool in cultivat-
ing. This can be passed backward
and forward over the ground until
it is in an open, mellow condition.
Where vegetables grow closely in the
rows it often will be necessary to
supplement the cultivation by hand
wedding. Small implements are
made for this purpose, and may be
purchased cheaply. 1t is we'll also
in some cases to pull up weeds by
hand, especially where they grow
closely about the stalks of the gard
en- plants.
Stirring the Soil After Rains
Just as the gardener should be
careful in early spring not to dig
the ground when the soil is too
moist, so he should be careful later
in the season not to cultivate too
soon after rains. The stirring of
very muddy soil "puddles" it into
compact, cement-like mass in
which the plant food is securely
locked The garden will require at
tention, however, as soon as the eX-
cess moisture from a rain has soaked
in or partially evaporated. Unless
the ground is stirred at this time a
crust will form almost inevitably.
Such a crust, besides restricting the
plants, prevents the access of air,
and also facilitates the loss Of mois-
ture thru evaporation. ..,..
Irrigation
When, during prolonged dry
spells, the plants give evidence of
suffering because of the lack OF
moisture, water must, if possible, be
supplied artiticially. Where supply
of piped water, is at hand, perhaps
the, most usual method of irrigation
is by sprinkling with a hose. If
sprinkling is practiced it should be
done late in the afternoon. 1t is
not sufficient merely to dampen the
surface; a thoro wetting should be
given. A more satisfactory and
more economical method of irriga-
ton, however, is to open small fur
rows between the rows of growing
plants and to supply water in these
bitches from hose or pipe. Several
hours after the water has soaked in,
the dry earth should be drawn back
into place.

Threat of Government seizure of coal

to oklahoma operators last night, in which
he declared that under no CT. Jmstances
must mines be closed down" and stating
the alternative will be to turn over the
mines to me-
Garfied'S notice tc Michigan operators
was taken following conference with John
A. Hicks. ST Johns, Mich, member of the
Michigan fuel advisory commission. Some
Michigan mine owners had indicated their
purpose of refusing coal at Government
prices
Fuel administration officials st ited that this
order applies generally TO coal regions in the

Kane in a test case brought tc cancel the

last, are sustained by the court, the result
Will be the cancellation Of similar certifi-
Gates granted to at least 100 other Germans
and the Withholding of final naturalization
papers to more than 300 others for the
duration of the war
The test is to be made upon what con-
stitutes the filing of an application for
citizenship by an alien. Mr.. Kane con-
tends that no matter when German filed
his written petition for final papers he is
precluded from being naturaiZed as an
American citizen at any time from the
declaration of war against Germany by
President Wilson, on April last, until
the war Is over In support of this view
Mr., Kane asserted that in the present state

Congress has declared cannot be made "A
