AGRICULTURE.

An acre of Kaffir or Sorgo silage is
worth more than twice as much as an
acre of the same crops in the form of
slower or fodder, according to expert
ments7 at the Fl. Hayes Experiment
station in Kansas. Ten lots of Here
ford range cattle were fed in this test
just announced. The lister is used in
planting in this western section, while
PROV cultivators are used to cut man
labor costs. The corn binder with ele-
vator puts the green material on the
wagons and the ensilage cutter chops
it finely and blows the silage into the
silos. While few silos have been built
in this semi-arid section because Of
excessive heat and winds, the use of
the pit silo makes silage not only
practical but essential in beef and
sheep feding, as well as in dairying,
says the Research Department Of the
National Association Of Farm Equip
ment.

"Of all the field implements which
the farmer uses, probably the disc
harrow is the most valuable in its re-
suits in proportion to it's COST" says
l. w. Dickerson, farm expert. "No
matter what section of the country we
take, the disc harrow is really the
basis of soil pulverizing work. Yet
few tools are worse abused and many
farm operators fail to get much more
than half the value they should from
the disc harrow because of poor man
asement and sck Of foresight"

\ plan has been drawn for dredging

A channel a feet deep and 200 feet
wide between Washington and the
Chesa peake The Improvement de-
ponds on Congress making an appro-
priation OF $500 ou0 ami the Army
engineer of this river and ha rbor dis
trict feels that the appropriation will
he made There are stretches Of the
river where ships of light draft for
sea going craft find navigation diff
cult and dangerous. This is notably
so across Kettle Bottom Shoals. These
shoa Is are in the Potomac River about
thirty miles above it's mouth and ma y
be roughly described as off the mouth
Of the Wicomico River. The ship
cha mel passes over these shoals for
about eight miles with mean depth
of eighteen feet. 1t is easy for a
ship to stray from the cha mel and
strike bottom on which there is but
thirteen feet of water.
While Kettle Bottom Shoals is the
most signfica MT shoal OF this kind in
The Potomac. there are numerous
i, kettle bottom shoals" in the salt
waters Of the Chesapeake basin. They
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-03-08

are so called because Of being mounds
or rounded hillocks of oyster shells.
They are cemented and offer strong
resista nee to dredges. Sometimes it
has been cheaper to blast them. A
safe and easy channel through the
Potomac's kettle bottom region is
necessary if Washington is to receive
and send sea borne freight.
1t is believed by many that Wash
inSton has a fair chan materially
to increase it's freight business with
deep cha mel to the Bay and AIDE
quate docks and especially docks with
railroad connection. The main freight
tonnage of the Potomac originates
within a few miles of Washington and
consists of sand. gravel. stone and
brick carried in tus-dra wn barges. A
considerable part of Potomac tonnage
originating in the lower part of the
river is ella sSified as forest products
and is principally cordwOod. t"nsid-
cradle tonnage of general freight is
carried by the Washington and Nor
folk boats and much of this is rail
freight between North and South.
tranShipped by water between Wash
ington. Norfolk and Newport News.
The freight entering the Potomac is
mainly oil in tankers and lumber in
schooners. a channel for larger ships
might easily be of much profit to
Washington.
