IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Webster City Freeman-Journal: No.
body seems to take seriously the
assertion Of the president that the
ratification of the peace treaty will
materially assist in solving the I'M
favorable conditions throughout the
world today. In everything except
legal action, peace now prevails be-
tween the allies and the central
powers and commerce has been re-
sumed.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The
state labor commissioner at Des
Moines says there is no shortage Of
labor in Iowa. Let him go out and
try to find a man to NOW his lawn
and he'll change his mind.
Cedar Rapids Republican: The
president and his immediate extollers
seem to be laboring under the idea
that it is tour of SELF sacrifice and
of unstinted service. Even Mrs. Will
son, who gets on every platform and
poses in every picture, which is
somewhat contrary to presidential
traditions, seems to think SO. Well,
let them have what COMFORT they may
need-but our own idea is the ap-
plause is the really sweet and attrac-
tive thing to them, as It has been to
others before them.
Marshalltown Times-Republican
Speaking of six-hour days, most OF
the farms in Iowa that are selling at
such extraordinary prices were
bought and paid for originally by a
sixteen-hour day. Ask grandpa.
Davenport Times: Had the statue
of liberty actually waved her torch
in honor of General Pershing's home
coming the New Workers would have
taken it as quite the proper thing on
such an occasion. 1t was grand
demonstration of the American spirit
and Pershing deserved every cheer,
every tap of the bells and every toot
of the whistles.

SAFE
NO LOOT TAKEN
Thieves Enter Rock Island Fruit
Company ONCE, but Are
Frightened. -

The safe in the office Of the Rock
Island Fruit company at 2410
Third avenue, was broken
into last night, but the
thieves secured no loot for their
efforts. The latter were apparently
frightened in their work as the
contents of the safe had not been
touched and the money drawers
we're not rifled.
The safe was opened with the aid
of a small bar, the thieves appar-
emily not deeming it necessary TO
use any explosives. The safe itself is
an old fashioned affair and to this
may be attributed the easy time the
thieves enjoyed in theiF work
Officials of the company intimate
they have clues and that some IN
teresting developments may be ex-
pected in few days.

the case, stated that it is his opIn-

Advantages of Silage

Here are a few points in favor
Of the silo and its use, as pointed
out by the University Of Florida
extension division:
l. Silage is the best and cheap
est form in which succulent
feed can be provided for winter
use.
2. Crops can be put into the silo
during weather unfavorable for
making hay or curing fodder.
3. A given amount Of corn IN
the form of silage will produce
more beef or milk than the same
amount when shocked or dried.
4. There is less waste in feed
ing silage than in feeding fodder.
Good silage properly fed is all
consumed.
5. Silage is very palatable.
6. Silage, like other succulent
feeds, has a beneficial effect upon
the digestive organs.
T. More stock can be kept on a
given area of land when silage Is
the basis of the ration.

intelligence and care can make
out of it, there will be no more
talk of glutted markets and ship
ments that scarcely suffice TO pay
the freight. The last part of the
Florida vegetable crops rarely
brings as good prices as the first
part, because Of the competition
of Georgia and the Carolinas.
Florida gets good prices because
of the fact that she gets most Of
her crops on the markets before
there is any competition. Can
neries should be established over
the state so as to use the crop that
natures after the competition of
states further north has made a
decided cut in prices and put
Florida to the disadvantage of
competing with producers nearer
the markets and, therefore, able
to get their products to tie mar
kets at smaller expense. Times

New Gifts for Florida

We published the fact few
days ago that a carload Of orange
and grapefruit juice had been
shipped from this city to Chicago
and that there was an urgent de-
mand there for more Of the pro-
duct than could be supplied at
once. This is a matter of great
consequence to Floridians, for it
promises them a much greater
profit from their citrus crops than
they have ever had before.
The fruit that drops from the
trees and the inferior grades Of
fruit that cannot be marketed,
are as rich in juices as any other
part of the crop, though hereto
fore this has been wasted. The
new demand will do away with
this waste and the orange grower:
will be able to market their full
crop and get the greater part II
! the profit from that part of il
from which they have heretofore
received nothing.
The success of any industry de
ponds principally on the elimina
ton of waste. The orange indus
try ought to yield many valuable
products-even the Feelings arr
rich in acids that have commercial
value. When Florida gets int
the habit of getting all out of III
orange industry that can he mad
out of it, the grove owners will
enjoy a prosperity that they hav
never had before.

FODDER PULLING UNWIsE
Corn Yield Reduced 20 Percent
BY Tt

Florida farmers have too long
practiced the habit of pulling tod-
der, says S. w. Hiatt, district
agent, who is advocating other
methods of handling this crop.
The pulling of the fodder lessons
the value of the corn fully 20 per
cent, he says, which is more than
the value of the fodder, If the
farm is in need of roughage and
has 10 other means Of getting it.,
the corn might be cut, shocked,
cured and stored. Cutting should
be done about the time the corn
begins to dent, after it is well
glazed. Handled in this way 1t
will mature on the stalks after
they have been cut, and as large a
crop secured as if the corn was
left to mature in the field.
In cutting and shocking corn,
care should be taken to make UNI
form shocks, containing about.
200 stalks each. The use OF a
homemade corn horse is of great
advantage in putting up a good
shock. This is made by taking a
light pole 12x14 feet long and
mailing two 1x4 inch pieces 4 feet
long to the large end of the pole,
with the lower end of these legs
spread 3 or A feet apart, in order
10 brace well. A l IA inch hole
should be bored in the pole about
feet from the legs, and an old
broom handle or similar sized
stick used to pass through this
hole half way. The corn can then
he stood up against this stick and
the pole on each side. This meth
cd will hold the stalks in place
while more are being cut.
A rope with small pulley on one
end can be used to place around
the top of the shock to pull it to.
