Neoos and Vteoos A6out The Farm

Planting of ensilage corn last, in
stead of first, is an expensive mis-
take very generally made in the north
ern portions of the United States, &C
cording to specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, who
recommend that strong terminating
seed of ensilage varieties from regions
farther south be planted two or three
weeks earlier than homegrown seed
which is planted for grain production
Such a planting program works to the
decided benefit Of dairymen and all
other growers of ensilage corn in the
Northern States.
When large varieties of ensilage
from as far south as Virginia or Mis-
souri,, for example, are planted in re
gions farther north late in May, they
make rapid long-jointed tender
succulent growth, and are so so green
when fall frosts come that they are
heavy to handle, low in feeding value
and make ensilage which is sloppy
and too sour But when planted IL
April or very early in May, they make
a slower, harder growth; they better
Withstand spring frosts and summer
droughts, reach better maturity, and
produce more grain than when plant
ed later. Fall frosts, not spring frosts
are the most to be feared.
Early-maturing homegrown vari
cites do not need such early planting
and viii not be benefited in the way
that large ensilage varieties are. The
latter, though somewhat dwarfed by
very early planting, make ample stalk
growth and yield more and ripel
grain and make richer and sweetei
ensilage. The early planting supplies
the age necessary for maturing and
Reproduction. Reproduction is. in this
case, grain production.
In growing ensilage crops in the
North one should Judge the crop by
its feeding balue, not by its height OF
weight or the amount of labor neces
sary to silo it.
Early cultivation pays, as ii dries
and warns the soil surface. If the
soil remains wet, it stays cold and the
young corn cannot grow, whereas stir
ring causes the surface to dry rapidly
after which it will absorb heat and
feel firm to the hand-a condition

Washington. March 16.-Following the adoption Monday of the substitute reservation to Article 10 of the league of nations covenant submitted by Sen ator Lodge, administration leaders in the senate today expressed the belief that even if the senate should ratifv the treaty of peace with this and other reservations, President Wilson would refuse to deposit formal notice of rat itication with other signatory powers. In that event, the treaty would fail of adoption by the American govern ment.
 F."emost in senate discussions to- day was speculation as to the number of Democratic senators who will bolt the leadership of President Wilson when the treaty is submitted to a final vote. An inclination among Demo- cratic senators to accept the reserva- tions and remove the treaty from the senate calender has been noticed.
 Senators King of Utah and Sim mons of North Carolina forecast rati- tication by a narrow margin. Sena- tors Curtis and Borah, the latter an irreconciliable oppositionist, forecast defeat of the treaty with it's present reservations.

(United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris, March 16.-The situation in Germany is still acute. Berlin dis patches today declare that Zurich re- ports contradict the statements that compromise has been reached be- tween the revolutionary party and the Ebert cabinet
 Authentic dispatches today assert that President Ebert has repudiated reports that compromise has been reached. He stated that negotiations with the faction in control at Berlin have been broken off.
 The French foreign office, however, IS inclined to believe reports of a con- promise agreement. In support of this, it is pointed out that Won Kapp and his associates must realize that the dictatorship cannot gain the back ing of the majority of German people. without making some kind of an agree ment which will be accepted by the deposed government heads.
 Zurich dispatches say that Presi- dent Ebert and the deposed German cabinet is in session at Stuttgart today, at which President Ebert issued an official denial of a compromise having been reached.
 As interpreted by the French for elgn office, the compromise, if actu- ally reached, was a victory for the von kapp forces. In the report also a statement that von Kapp has deman- ded election of cabinet heads by pop ular vote. If this is carried out, French officials admit strong proba- bllity of von Hindenburg, former chief ot the army staff, being acclaimed as president of Germany. This forecast IS based upon the numerous reports from various sources of the poularity which the former army leader holds with the rank and file of the German people.
