Loyalty in War Time

Loyalty in peace times and 10y
atty in war times are two distinct
things. Not much is required to
pass the loyalty test when ones
country is not at war; simple
compliance with the law is all that
is required.
But Loyalty in war times is not a
passive quality. At such time one
may be without loyalty and still
not be disloyal. \ person Of this
type will do nothing either to as
sist or 70 harm his country. He
wSll net give himself to his coun-
try's service and he will not con-
tribute financial support. Neither
will he discourage others frcm do
ing this. He will d. or say moth
ing trea sonable, End neither will
he do o. saw anything to put heart
in the fighting forces or to uphold
the Nation n is struggle, He will
be simply passive onlooker. And
that IS not being loyal.

SunAowers for Silage

Expediments with sunf1owers to
determine their suitability for sill
age are being conducted in the
western United States by the Blu
reau of Plant Industry, in coopera-
ton with State experiment sta
tions. There are indications that
this crop be specially useful in
regions where the growing season
is too cool for the production of
large yields of silage corn. The
experiments were begun in 1917 at
Huntley, Montana, and Scottsbluff,
Nebraska, and the first years re-
suits led the investigators to ex-
tend the work to other points this
year. In 1917 the yields of sun
flower silage exceeded those of
corn silage in the same fields from
so to 100 percent. Yields of more
than 20 tons per acre were obtain
ed under irrigation. Preliminary
feeding tests have indicated that
the sunfower silage may be sub
stituted satisfactorily for corn sill
age, but directly comparable re-
suits have not yet been obtained in
sufficient volume to justify full
statement as to the comparative
values of the two feeds.
