only task now is to educate her
legs to walk. and that in short
time she will be able to romp and
play as well as any child Of her age.

SUNFLowER SILAGE TESTS

Several Western experiment sta.

Of the sunfower as a silage crop.
Tests in rate of planting have been
made. At the Idaho station eigh;
inch spacing produced a tonnage 6s
per cent greater than thirty-incr
spacing. The Minnesota station re-
ports that close planting gave better
quality OF ailage which was less coarse,
woody and fiberous than that from
wider spacing. At the Nebraska sta
ton early paintings gave twice a
much tonnage as corn, but the yielii
fell off rapidly with later paintings.
The Oregon station recommends seed
ing with grain drill in rows at the
rate of twenty-five to thirty-five
pounds of seed per acre.

FAIRS NO PLACE FOR
GRAFTERS OR FOR VICE

Fairs or community expositions which
aiiow space to questionable conces-
sions are rendering poor service to
the community in the opinion of
Western Farm Life, which in plain
words goes on to say:
FAIRS or community expositions
which allow space to questionable con-
cessions are rendering poor service to
designed to educate and elevate the
standards OF the persons who attend.
Inc immoral show, the fakir, the
gambler or CRATER have no place in
community enterprise run for this
purpose. Altho there has been
great deal of progress in cleaning up
our fairs there is still work to be
done in eliminating these undesirable
features. Fair arrangements may
| well give serious consideration to the
matter of examining most carefully
the application for concessions before
granting them, and they should re-
serve the right to revoke at any time
the permission to operate if it de-
velops later that the concessionaire is
violating any of the standards estab-
ished.
A national organization has re-
! Gently been formed to deal with this
situation from the inside. 1t is ex-
acting pledges from fair concession
aires to give the visitors clean, whole
some and honest amusements and
bar the falir in every line. This
| may help some, but fair directors
| must assume responsibility for the
kind of concessions allowed to oper-
! ate. Fortunately the fairs where i'm
| moral shows, the faldr, CRATER or
gambler are allowed to operate are
the exception, and fairs are generally
becoming more strictly educational
in character.
The extension service of Colorado
Agricultural college is doing a most
excellent piece of work in connection
with raising the standards of the
local fairs and community expose
tions. During all last falls fairs to
which judges were sent by the ayri-
cultural college, careful notes were
taken on matters which needed i'm
provement. On the basis of the in.
| formation gathered in this manner
valuable suggestions have been sent
to fair secretaries over the state.
Fair arrangements are cooperating
with the extension service in making
such changes as will standardize
Judging and facilitate the equitable
placing Of awards. Checking care
fully on the amusement features is of
even greater importance, for the
moral welfare of the communities is
at stake. We would urge fair direc-
tors to adopt the slogan, Fairs for
farmers, not for fakirs," in passing
out the concessions and rot permit
those to operate that would have
degrading influence on the peonle of
the community The excuse some
times given that fair visitors VIII not
patronise clean amusements Is NOT
based on fact, as has been denoastrat-
ed IN the management of many of
our best fairs.
