BEEF SCARCITY CAUSES
 JUMP IN PRICE

Within the past week the meat stua- ton in this city has become acute and in keeping with other parts of the country the price has been jumped about 25 per cent. The increase in cost is due to the scarcity of beef and lamb owing to difficulties in transportation. It is slso reported that the scarcity is due largely to the fact that the packers are 1nable to keep tsock on hand at the yards and all that is killed is shipped
 immediately.
 In Norwich during the past week the wholesalers did not receive car of beef and only one arrived on Monday which was immediately snapped up by the re. iailers. The prices on beef and lamt tre the only ones to be raised as there
 Is no scarcity of pork. Many of the markets are handling New Zealand lami which is considered as good, if not bet 1 ter, than the native lamb.

MOLD IN SlLO PREVENTABLE
Use of Plenty Of Water at Filling
Time Will Overcome Difficulty
Pack Thoroughly.

The use of plenty Of water at silo
filling time is one of the surest ways
of avoiding difficulty from molds if
the corn has been frosted or has be-
come overripe. If one has the facili-
ties for running a steady stream of
water into the blower and at the
same time is careful to see that the
tramping is thoroughly done the loss
from molds can be made almost negli-
gible. AS a matter of fact it is pos
sible to entirely prevent the growth
of mOlds If the corn is cut at the
proper time and thoroughly histrib-
uted and tramped in an air-tight silo.
What air remains after this is done
is used up in the fermentation proc
esses which begin as soon as the corn
is ensiled-the oxygen being converted
into carbonic acid gas and silage acids.

BEST AND EARLIEST
EARS FOR SEED CORN
Quite Practicable to Allow 1t to
Ripen on Plant. &.
Examine Grain Carefully Removing
Any Worms Found and Then Fold
Back in Place and Tie With
Elastic Band or String.

The best way to secure home grown
sweet corn seed, according to United
States department of agriculture spe-
cialists, is to allow it to ripen on the
plant, and, since single ear will be
seed enough for a small garden, 1t Is
quite practicable to do this. Select the
best and earliest ears by stripping
down the husks to examine the grain
and to remove any worms that may be
found, and then carefully fold them
back and hold them in place by an
elastic band or string. Allow these
ears to ripen thoroughly on the stalk.
In the North it Is often better to pull
and hang the plant where there will
be no danger from moisture, frost, or
even chilling until the seed Is thor
oughly dry. All the ripe ears remain
ing at the end of the season in any
crop Of sweet corn should be harvested

The sugar-beet crop this year covers
almost a million acres as against the

about half of which is intended for
sugar and the other half for strip,

for planting the next crop. There is
