Quite large variety of crops may
be successfully used for the silo in
this state. The principal crops used
at present in the order Of their i'm
portance, would, in my judgment, be
corn, saccharine sorghum and kaffir
corn. There is a strong movement at
the present time to emphasize the
use of sorghum and kaffir corn. BY
this arrangement corn is reserved
for use as a grain and forage or fod-
der crop.
AS you doubtless know, velvet
beans are now extensively planted
with our corn crop, adding material
iy thereby to it's food value and in
creaSlng the Qutturn of grain per

Will be emphasized more strongly
than ever in the future, and that

therefore, consist of one Of the

variety of saccharine sorghum is used
to the exclusion Of others, the Red
Head variety is extensively cult
probably a favorite non-saccharine
sorghum grown at the present time.
Doubtless you know the saccharine
sorghums are very juicy and reten-
tive of moisture. The non-saccharine
sorghums are drier. Hence when the
two are combined in the silo a bet
ter result is obtained than where
either is used separately. The very
finest kind of silage can be made
from the combina ton suggested
above, provided the sorghumS are

Some years ago there was a strong
effort made to demonstrate that cow
peas, Or velvet beans should be sown
in the row with silage crops. Very
careful. Investigations made under
my direction failed. to reveal any
justification for a continuance of
this practice. We were never able to
show that the 1egumes constituted
more than to 10 per cent of the
weight of the, crop. We. concluded
from these experiments that it was
better, therefoTef' to confine thesplant-
ing of velvet beans to corn and to
grow cowpeas and soy beans on sepa-
rate areas OF land and cut and. feed
them as hay or harvest them for
grain, as the eXigencies of the stu.
alton seem to make. advisable
OF course, we grow some; alfalfa
and large quantities. of oats, rye. and
wheat singly or in combination with
such legumes as crimson clover and
hairy vetch. Some of these crops are
cut for hay and we generally adj
wise their use in this manner, They
could, of course, be ensilQed salts
factorily if this is desirable. The
vines of peanuts, sweet potatoes and
other crops could also be ensiloed,
but we do not think" this iisEa de-
sirable practice. We are quite GER
tain from our experience and OBJ
serVation that the more generally
our. farmers confine their efforts to
the production of silage cropsi such
as. the saccharine and -saccharine
sorghums, the better pleased they
will be with these crops. They are
certainly the most economical to
use in the matter of seeding, cult

agreements they rose belatedly to make
the acceptance of the constitution as a

TO HAVE THREE
LOOKOUT TOWERS
State Forester Announces Fire
Protection for Vermont
Mountains

Montpelier. Feb. 11.-W. G. Hastings,
State forester, announces that three new
lookout towers for fire protection are
being contemplated in this State for the
coming summer, One of these probably
will be erected on Belvidere Mountain
at the point where Franklin, Orange and
Lamolle counties converge. The tower
at this point will be erected by the
Nelson Hall Lumber company of Mont
gomery Center and the Mississquoi Paper
tl Pulp Co, of Shelburne, whose lumber
interests will be protected from fire by
this tower.
A second tower will be erected on
Spruce Mountain in the town of Plain
field. Willard S. Martin, who is carrying
on pulp job in that vicinity at pres
ent, and Parker & Young who recently
purchased the T. N Vail tract in the
towns Of Topsham, Orange and Groton,
will be responsible for the erection Of
the tower at this point
The third tower probably will go up
on Mount Ascutney. Commercial clubs
in the towns surrounding this mountain
are interested In having this tower
erected, The forestry department will
furnish the men to man these towers
during the summer months.
Mr.. Hastings feels that, inasmuch as
Vermont has had very little fire loss in
the last few years, it is all the more
reason why unusual care should be taken
during the coming season to prevent fire,
because 1t is the natural course of
events that big fire losses come every
! few seasons at more or less regular in
tervals, unless special care is taken to
| prevent 1t.
Mr. Hastings is at present e-distribut-
ing the State In manner which will
make il easier for the forest rangers
and fire wardens to cover their districts,
saving unnecessary travel and expense.
