FRIENDS CONDEMN RACE TRACK
GAMBLING.

At the March quarterly meeting OF
Friends in Baltimore the following min
ute on race track gambling and on the
enforcement of the Prohibition Amend
ment, was offered, and after considera-
ton approved: .
..As race track gambling is menace
to the moral welfare of our people, we.
members OF Baltimore Quarterly meeting
OF Friends, are opposed to the licensing OF
racetracks by our State.
1.-THE question before the American
people today is not between prohibition
and license. but between anarchy and
the enforcement of the supreme law OF
the land. We, the members of Baltimore
Quarterly Meeting of Friends, gathered
at Park Avenue, Third Month. of 1921,
therefore call upon our officials, national.
state and local. to use all the power pos
sessed by them to thoroughly enforce the
prohibitory amendment and the laws
passed in pursuance thereof"
Philadelphia Orthodox Friends call
upon President Harding to begin world
disarmament movement, in resolution
which also urges the United States to stop
spending additional money on the Navy.
The action was taken at the Yearly Meet
ing. The resolution was signed BY all
members attending and forwarded to
Washington. 1t follows:
''As representing religious society
which for $50 years has consistently up
held peace principles. and believing thai
world disarmament is the most pressing
problem before our government~and al
governments, we respectfully urge thai
the President of the United States SHOULD
call in the immediate future an inter
national conference on disarmament.
I'VE also further urge that all action
leading to any increase in naval or mil
itary appropriations shall not even be
considered until after the holding of such
conference.
"A drastic curtailment of the proposed
appropriations we believe to be first and
essential step toward spirit OF under
standing in the nations.

Lots of potatoes are being planted
this spring in spite of the fact that
they are so cheap and plentiful that
they can hardly be given away. The
bid saying is that if potatoes go in
the ground cheap they will com:
out dear, and if they go in dear will
come out cheap. Such was the case
last year. They went in the ground
at SO and "a per bushel and came

Schools Take Up Creeds.
A plan by which representatives
of various faiths will teach pupils of
those faiths as part of the public
school curriculum will soon be pre-
scented to the School Board by the
Baltimore Federation of Churches.
The Suggestion, if adopted, will pro-
vide for the deduction of one hour

A survey of similar work in other
cities is being made and committee
will be appointed by the Federation
to lay the matter before the School
Board. 1t was shown that no effort

under the plan Protestant children
will be taught by Protestant teach

This writer Of great railroad stories
was railroader in the Rocky Noun

age. Then he took his pen in hand to
write big romances about the life he
had witnessed and lived. During the
first five years he had no conspicuous
success, but in 1898 destiny resharp-
ened the point Of his fountain pen and
he wrote three novels within twelve
months. Each Of the three was ten

magazines began to bid for his work

Thomas Bailey AIdrich's Humorous
Rebuke to Correspondent Whose
Writing Was lIIegibIe.

It takes a clever man to find a good

said of Thomas Bailey Aldrich that he
once received a letter from his friend,
Prof. Edward S. Morse, and found the
handwriting wholly illegible Mr.. Aid
rich was not at a loss for an answer.
In due time there came to Mr.. Morse
the following reply:
"My Dear Morse-It was very pleas
ant to receive a letter from you the
other day. Perhaps / should have
found it pleasanter if 1 had been able
to decipher it. / don't think 1 mas
tered anything beyond the date, which
I knew, and the signature, at which /
guessed.
"There is a singular and perpetual
charm in a letter of yours-it never
grows old, and it never loses it's novels
ty. One can say every morning, as
one looks at it, Here's a letter Of
Morse's / haven't read yet. l think
I shall take another shy at it to lay,
and maybe / shall be able in the course
Of few years to make out what he
means by those is that look like WIS,
and those is that haven't any eye
brows. Other letters are read and
thrown away and forgotten, but yours
are Kept forever-unread. One of them
will last a reasonable man lifetime"

TO GROW SUFFICIENT sILAGE
Experts Assert 1t Is Better to Care
fully Figure on Silo to Fit
Herd Of Cows.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The planting season is the time
when the dairy farmer should arrange
to see that he has crops enough to fill
his silo. AS case in point, a Missis-
sippi farmer failed to take this matter
into consideration when he bought q
silo of go tons capacity, for he found
that he had corn and sorghum for
only 20 tons of silage; and since, more
over, he had only s COWS, he decided
he had made a mistake, and tried to
sell his new SilO instead of setting it
up. A field man from the dairy divi-
sion of the United States Department
Of Agriculture however, persuaded
him to keep it until the next year, and
to put up a small stave SilO for imme-.
date use. He did so, and found it
such help in feeding his COWS cheap
ly that he bought more land and re-
solved to enlarge his herd to so COWS,
and thus make good use Of his larger
silo.
Both the height and the diameter
of the silO must be considered The
proper diameter of the silO depends
upon the quantity of silage to be fed
daily; and this quantity will vary
with the size of the herd. The silage
should be fed out fast enough to re-
move it from the top Of the silo at the
rate Of ~ to inches a day, depend
ing upon climatic conditions. The
warmer the weather the more silage
must be removed from the surface
daily in order to prevent spelling. For
the winter feeding season it is safer
to figure upon removing inches daily
than any smaller amount.
A common error in building is to
make the diameter too large for the
size of the herd. The weight of a
cubic foot Of silage varies according
to the pressure to which it is sub
jected, but in silo 80 feet high the
weight per cubic foot averages about
40 pounds. SO, by knowing the guam
tity of silage to be fed daily, it is pos
sible to estimate what the diameter
of the silo should be to permit the
removal Of certain number of inches
each day. The table below shows the
proper diameter of the silo, on basis
Of 40 pounds Of silage per cubic foot,

Numer of animals that may
be fed, allowing

A 9OO-pound cow ordinarily con-
sumes 80 pounds of silage day, and
a 1,2OO-pound one about 40 pounds.
Yearlings eat about one-half as much
as mature animals; fattening cattle,
% to 35 pounds for each 1000 pounds
live weight
1t happens, sometimes, that silO
is not wholly filled, because there is
not enough corn planted for silage,
and there are not enough OF other
crops make up the deficiency. The
amount of silage that may be OBJ
tanned from an acre of corn varies
from 4 to 20 tons. A fair allowance
on average land is 8 tons per acre.
Hence for a Cotton silo it might be
well to plant or 10 acres of corn.
1t is by all means best to lay out
land enough in silage crops to fill the
silo to the very top; and if there is
any doubt about how much will be
needed, to allow a margin of safety,
remembering that the season may cut
down the yield Of this as we'll as Of
other crops. On the other hand, if
there is too much corn or sorghum
to go into the silo, the excess can be
cut as dry fodder, and other crops
can be made into hay.
Two bulletins issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture are useful in this
connection; one is Farmers Bulletin
S55. Homemade Silos: and the other
Is Farmers Bulletin 57S, The Making
and Feeding of Silage.
