SILO SUGGESTIONS

1. In a silo all the corn crop is
saved for feed. When not stored in
a silo 40 to so percent of the crop
is lost.
2. Sileage has a beneficial effect
on the digestive system and there
fore is worth more than it's feed
value alone.
8. Silage furnishes a succulent
feed during the winter when there
is no grass.
4. More feed may be stored in
smaller space and at less cost than
any other way.
5. Silage is convenient to feed
and is a cheap roughage.
6. The silo can be built during
July when farm work is slack.
7. The dairy farmer who waits
until August to think about build
ing silo usually does not have
one.
8. Join with your neighbors to
buy a silage cutter.
9. If concrete silo is built it
should stand at least a month after
completion before being filled to in
sure proper setting.
10. Ten milk cows or their equi--
valent in young stock-two year.
lings equal one cow-justify silo.
II. japanese seeded ribbon cane
makes nearly as good silage as
corn On most lands a greater ton
mage of cane is secured.
IL. Corn should be about fodder
pulling stage when cut for silage
Cane should be ripe enough to
make syrup.
13. Build silo in proportion to
the size of your herd. For ten to fif-
teen COWS a 1Ox24 feet, for fifteen
to twenty COWS a 12x2S feet, and
above twenty cows 14x30 to 36
feet.
ID. You can build a homemade
silo.
Is. The Extension Service, Glenn
son College S. c., will furnish in
formation on building silos.

For this reason he had his own
motor car, his motor boat up in
Maine and stayed in the open as
much as possible or else his par
ents brought him south on their
yacht on many of their cruises.
They have been cruising in southern
waters since last fall. 1t was while
in st. Augustine when young
Kemble was struck with one of his
severe headaches which proved a.
little more severe and which had
him in a semi-conscious state that
they decided to return here.
eff you had stayed on in South
port DR.. Dosher would have cured
me-" he told his parents while 81
fering intensely.
They had met DR.. Dosher some
months earlier, the young man had
been in his care while their yacht
was anchored in the harbor, and he
had become very much attached to
the surgeon.
1t was because of this attachment
and confidence, his father admitted
that I allowed the operation.
81 knew I played lone hand. I
knew. if the operation failed I
would be subjected to a good deal
of criticism and censure at home
by relatives and by surgeons in Bos-
ton for coming down here and ,hav-
ing my son operated on after sew
eral specialists had advised against
it. l figured on the psychology of
Winslow's confidence in DR.. Dosher
as much as anything"
DR.. Dosher is an alumnus of
Johns Hopkins and is considered by
those who know him as one of the
best surgens in the south. The
tumr that he took from the front
part of the brain of young Kemble
contained approximately two tea
spoonfuls of serum.
Mr.. Kemble tomorrow will sail
his yacht for Baltimore, where ne
will be joined by Mrs. Kemble and
Winslow, who will go from here to
Baltimore by rail after the latter
has completely recovered from the
operation.

Southport, May pa tumor

the young man apparently is On the
road to recovery after 10 years OF
headaches and at times eXcruclatlng
pain, when it was necessary to use
ch,oroform to alleviate it. Since the
operation last Thursday the young
man has felt no such headaches.
Some of the stitches were removed
yesterday and he was chatting
pleasantly and concentrating on a
game of auction bridge.
1t was 10 years ago that Wins
low Kenlble was hit on the head
with a scantling and almost killed
by a playmate. He was then 9
years of age. Since that day the
most eminent brain specialists of
Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
and of practically every important
port between Main and Florida
have been consulted. One brain
specialist who lives in Boston and
who bears an international repu-
tation has made x-rays of the
young mans skull, his father, Par
ker Kemble, a we'll known sports
man and member of the Eastern

been stupid, an epileptic, afflicted
with convulsions, or about to die,

SPRAY GRAPES FOR FRUIT

Clemson College.-If you would
have fine grapes instead of diseased
poorly developed ones, spray with
Bordeaux, says the horticulturists
of Clemson College.
Where diseases have caused seri-
Gus trouble the preceding season,
make the first application as soon as
the fruit is set, and additional appli-
cation every two weeks until fruit
begins to ripen.
Where diseases have not caused
serious loss in the past, three appli-
cations will be sufficient. In this case
the first application should be made
after the fruit is set, the second
three weeks later and the third and
last just before the grapes begin to
ripen.
Use Bordeaux mixture as follows
4 pounds Of copper sulphate (blue
stone), pounds of quick lime so
gallons of water. Make according to
directions given below.
Place the Jumps Of lime in a YES
sci and slake slowly by using small
quantities of warm water until the
shaking process has been completed
and-aH of the Jumps thoroughly
dissolved. Dilute to make 25 gal
Ions.
Dissolve the bluestone by placing
in cloth sack and suspending in
few gallons of water Zone gallon
IL water per pound of bluestone)
and dilute to make 25 gallons. Use
only wooden or earthen vessels to
mix or dissolve the bluestone in.
Make the Bordeaux mixture by
pouring together through a sack at
the same time equal parts Of the
lime aud bluestone solutions.
For small quantities use: blue.
stone, 4 ounces; quick lime, 4
ounces: water, 3 gallons.

WORLDS WHEAT SHORT
Lower Stocks Expected to Be on Hand

Washington, d. G. - World wheat
stocks by July | will be lower than
for several years, according to an
analysis of the situation issued by the
commerce department.
Both Argentine and Australia, the
department explained, have consider
ably less wheat than last year, the
United States carry-over will be light,
and only Canada has considerable
stocks on hand A larger demand than
last year, it was declared, was mdicat-
ed by the upward trend of European
consumption, while the prospects are
for a smaller crop.
Until next February" the depart
ment said, the international trade will
be largely dependent for supplies on
the surplus of North America and
limited quantity from India. With
Russia entirely out of the export trade,
North American wheat is in a relative

VASHON BERRY CROP
YIELD GOOD RETURN
Strawberry Acreage Declin.
ing Because Of Diseased
Ground
100 Acres of Raspberries; 500
Strawberries; $50 Logan
berries on Island
By Helen M. Hansen

The Vashon island fruit grow
crs are preparing to harvest II
bumper crop Of berries this sea
son. One hundred acres Of rasp-
berries, 500 acres Of strawberries
and $50 acres Of loganberrics are
at their best this year because Of
the late spring, which retarded
the poisoning until all danger
of "A Obstructive frost was past.
In other berry regions the severe
spring has caused hundreds Of
acres of small fruit to be partly
blighted, but the proximity to the
water on the island modifics the
effect Of the cold so that it is an
ideal location for this industry.
The Strawberries and raspber-
ries will yield about 200 crates to
the acre at a fair price Of ~ a
crate for Strawberries, 8 cents a
pound for raspberries and logan
berries about $50 crates to the
acre and average about cents
a pound.
Because strawberries need new
land to yield the best crop and
are easily diseased with such pests
as the root maget or strawberry
wevil, the production of this
fruit is gradually decreasing
while loganbelJies and raspber-
ries are gaining more prominence
for cultivation.
Loganberlies are sold chiefl,
by the barrel for purposes of pre-
serves, for fountain use and also
for fruit juice. The fruit is pl,t
in these barrels directly after
picking, shipped to Seattle for
cold storage and later sold to
eastern companies for distribut-
ing. This process is the most sat
tsfactory and profitable because
it eliminates the purchase of
crates and also enables the pro
ducer to hold the fruit in cold
forage for better prices. Other
means of marketing these small
fruits are furnished through con
.racts with local canneries.
The fruit has been harvested
heretofore by local piclSers, but
this year because of the increased
production special arrangements
have been made with West Seattle
high school students.
Because of the favorable eli
matte conditions and adaptable
jty of the soil ON VaShon island,
The small fruit industry presents
itself as a money crop that will
be difficult to equal elsewhere in
the northwest.
