DURABILITY OF FENCE POSTS
and Round II HeartWood and
SapWood Equal.

Some people believe split fence posts
last longer than do round ones. Prob
ably as large a number hold the oppo-
site view. The forest products labora-
tory Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture says that one will last
about as long as the other If the per-
centage Of heartwood and sapwood is
the same In both. If the percentage Of
sapwood Is increased by splitting, the
split post will be less durable, while
If the percentage Of heartWood Is In
creased 1t will be more durable than
the round one. Exceptions to this
should be made If the posts are OF
spruce, hemlock or any of the true frs,
whose heartwood and sapwood are
about equally durable.
If the posts are to be treated with
creosote or some other preservative,
the round post is preferable to the
split because Of the comparative ease
with which the sapwood can be treated.
Experiments at the laboratory demon
strate that the heartwood faces on
split posts do not, as rule, absorb
the preservative as well as does the
sapwood. .-- -. +.

OVER GOOD As SILAGE
Becoming Popular In Northwestern
Sections Where Corn 10 Diff
cult to Grow.

The use Of sunfowers for sflage has
proved popular In certain Of the North
ern Great Plains and 1nter-Mountain
states where it Is not possible to pro-
duce large tonnage Of corn for silage
purposes. In some sections the sllage
made from sunfowers has been found
to compare favorably in palatabillty
and feeding value with silage made
from corn. This Is not always the
case, however, as it appears that In
certain irrigated districts In the North
ern Great Plains where the growth Of
sunhowers Is rank and succulent, the
resulting silage is often not very pal
atable. Experiments reported from
the Huntley experiment farm In Mon
tana of the United States Department
OF Agriculture show that while it is
possible to produce from 25 ito 80 tons
Of sunfowers per acre, 1t has been dit
f1cult to produce a silage that IS as
much relished by live stock as corn
silage, which gives rather less than
half as much tonnage per acre.

CARE DURING SUN MER

prepared by the United States Depart

In the rush of summer work the hens
often are neglected on many farms.
This is poor economy because the care
they receive will determine to large
extent the profits to be realized
The poultrymen of the Department
of Agriculture advise that hens be
given free range, If possible, during the
summer months, and If they cannot be
given free range that as much green
feed be furnished Us they will readily
consume. Milk Is excellent during the
summer months. Buttermilk also may
be used, or semi-solid buttermilk If the
regular buttermilk Is not obtalnable.

about equal parts Of scratch grains

POTATO PRODUCTION
I'M SOUTHERN STATES
Crop Commands Better Price
Than in the North.
Owing to Wide Divergence OF Season

Growing Season, Tubers Can
Be Planted Any Time.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
nlcut Of Agriculture-1
The importance OF the potato crop
In the South is due to its market
value rather than Its magnitude, for
owing to the season in which 1t Is
harvested IT commands better price,
usually, than the late crop in the
North. The wide divergence Of sea-
sonal conditions In the South, coupled
with q long-growing season, makes 1t
possible to plant and harvest potatoes
in some locality in practically every
month in the year.
Owing to varying climatic condl-
tons, due to both latitude and altl-
tude, there are three distinct potato
crop seasons in the Southern states
These are the early or truck crop, the
late or main crop, and the fall crop,
