FROSTED SORGHUM
 USED FOR SILACE

A considerable number of in- quirieS have reached the Uni versity recently asking if frost ed sorghums can be used as sil- age. Some growers have stated that they consider such sor- ghums poisonous and danger ous for cattle feeding.
 The danger in feeding frost ed sorghums is due to form of prussic acid, which is a very vio- lent poison. However, even when this poison is present in a field, the probabilities are that 1t is present in a comparatively small number of stalks. When the frosted sorghums are cut up and made into silage the few poisonous stalks in a field are so thoroughly mixed with others that stock do not secure suffi- cient poison to be dangerous. There is, then, little danger of poisoning from sorghums used as silage. The prussic acid that causes the poisoning in sor- ghums is volatile poison and easily driven off by heating, and is usually driven off during the curing of sorghums to dry fodder. This feature may in part account for the absence of prussic acid in sorghums when used as silage.
 The prussic acid in sorghums and related plants is not caus- ed by frost. It may be present in frosted plants, but it is just as apt to be present in plants before frost. It is usually found in sorghum fields that have been stunted in their growth. Fields that have grown rapidly without being stunted are usually safe, but whenever the plants have been stunted, by dry weather or any other cause, the probabilities are that at least portion of them will be found poisonous.

WHEN OUR BOYS COME HOME.

Oh, make ready for the new day,
And be worthy of the glad day,
When with eyes so keen
And hearts so clean
Our boys come marching home.
Fires of suffering will try them,
Bonds of brotherhood will bind them.
Brave, great and free this land must
be
For our boys when they come home.
From the muck of graft and greed,
Party lust and narrow creed,
Let us clean the land
And free the land
From plains to ocean tide.
Their ideals will be above us;
BY new standards they will judge us;
For the wise, the great of every land
Are now fighting side by side.
Men at home, you have duty;
Fill this land with civic beauty,
Make it truly free
And fair to see
For these boys who marched away.
They have answered Freedoms call,
But her voice rings clear to all:
"You, too, must serve
And help to haste
The dawning of The Day"

LONG WAY TO BER.
LIN YET
Initial Success Just a Start, a
French Officer Says.

"The reports being received now OF
the Allied victories in the Scissors
Chateau Thierry sector are wonderful,
said Lieut.. Robert j. Bagues Of the
French high commission who is in
this country. "This good news de-
monstrates that with the Anne lean
forces in the field we are now able
to take counter offensive.
apparently the Allied material
power is now equal, If not superior,
TO that Of the Central Powers. The
manpower on the western front is
about even. This means hiatt the of
fensives will be evened up, and there
is another side Of this war, other than
material and manpower. IL is the mo-
rale of the troops and the people.
"The good news that has just been
reported from the battle fields will
improve the morale Of our men. The
victory is especially good for the
American troops, as they have the adj
vantage of starting into the war with
a successful battle
"The American people should not
get overconfident, however. There is
likely to be a tendency Of many to
feel that the war is near an end be-
cause of the good reports we have re-
ceived over here. 1t is far too early to
think Of peace. Some who are over
enthusiastic seem to think that now
the march to Berlin will be easy.
But we still are long way from Ber-
lin We are only at the turning point
in the great war.
"Our recent success, believe, is on
ly the beginning Of a great battle.
There is now time to stop and
think about our little success. We
must keep on fighting to the finish.
Keep sleeves rolled up and keep at
work. The people Of the United States
will learn to take this war as busi-
ness. 1t will soon become part Of
everyday life. In France we go into the
trnches as man goes to his Office.
It's matter of business and we do
it naturally"
