SUNFLOWER SILAGE is HEAVY
Siios That Have Proved Satisf actory
With Corn Crack at Additional
Pressure.

Exact weights for a cubic foot of
sunf1ower shilage have not been accu-
rately determined, but speaking from
general observation, sunfower silage
weighs one-third heavier than corn
silage per cubic foot of silo capacity"
says Charles l. Bray of the Agricultur-
al college at Fort Collins. For this
reason, some silos that have proved
satisfactory with corn silage have
cracked under the pressure of sunfow
er silage.
1--WE saw one recently so feet high
that had two bad cracks in it after
filling with sunfiowers, and were told
Of several more. For this reason, silOs
should be exceptionally well reinforced
where sunfiowers are to be used.
'sThere should be no danger with
an ordinary well-built silo. The pres

II pounds per square foot of wall

This might mean almost 600 pounds

HELPS GROWING WHEAT CROP
Ohio Experiment Station Favors Win
ter Application of Manure
Fertility S Added.

Winter application of manure will
aid the growing wheat crop, according
to the Ohio experiment station
Wooster. Spreading manure over the
wheat ground at the rate of four to
six tons per acre affords winter pro-
lection and at the same time adds fer
tility that Will later aid the wheat.
While no experiments have been
conducted in the topdressing of wheat,
the residual effect of manure on wheat
shows that the yield may be increased
from six to eight bushels per acre.
If manure is not available, nitrate
of soda is sometimes applied in the
spring, but this should be used in con
nection with or following the fall use
of acid phosphate to get the best re-
suits.
When acid phosphate or steamed
bonemeal has been used at seeding
nitrate OF soda, which is coarse salt,
may be easily sown by hand The
most favorable time is in April. just
as the spring growth of wheat is be-
ginning.

of the National Sheep and Wool bu-

tural group in congress will stay with
the measure until it is finally enacted
