No man who is milking q herd Of

% make maximum returns from his
herd without silo, according to r.
A. Harmon, dairy extension specialist
for the Missouri College of Agricul-
tare. This statement was proved by
the Missouri Cow Testing associations
daring the past year, as shown in the
following results:
Cows receiving silage produced an
average Of 5,798 pounds of milk, 266.S
pounds of fat and profit above feed

sOs silage averaged $3.50 pounds Of

wns 900 pounds of milk, 1879 pounds

This means an Increase of ia per

GREEN MANURIEG AIDS SOIL
Really One of Oldest Methods
Crops for This Purpose Were
Used by Ancients.

Green Notwithstanding under
green crops-as q means OF soil Inn
provement. although 1t has been EN-
phasized In recent years, can hardly
be called a new discovery. says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Ii is really one Of the oldest
methods. Crops for this purpose were
used by the ancients, the Romans us
ing upines, which were sown in Sep
tember and turned under in May for
the benefit of the following crop.
In Germany the use of lupines be-
gan In the middle of the Nineteenth
century and has proved An important
factor In reclaiming the sandy lands
of parts of Prussia. In England
legumes and other plants are COM
monty used; in India and Japan the
farmers gather green plants of many
kinds. sometimes even cutting swigs
from the trees and carrying them TO
the rice fields.
In the United States the use of
special green-manure crops is much
more general in the South than in the
North. Under irrigation they play an
important part in orchard culture In
the West. but not under dry-iarmIng
conditions.

Outbreaks of webwOrmS in corn in

from foreign lands.
Summer or very early fall blowing

Grasslands of all kinds-meadows,

to prevent the production of grain.
After the corn is once planted and
