renting. or who are only in the dairy
business temporarily, to the trench
! Silo.
We have in the farm advisors of
flee ut RI Centre two bulletins
3 which tell of the advantages and
the method of construction of trench
silos. One of these is published by
the New Mexico college of agricul-
ture and mechanical arts, and the
other by the agricultural extension
division, North Dakota agricultural
college. These bulletins state that
the trench silo has been used sue
ce>Sfully in Canada, and in states
of Montana, C,-ora-J, Oklahoma and
New Mexico. We also have inform
alton that this type of >ilo has been
used successfully in various parts of
California. and that one such silo
has been used in Imperial county.
The publications which | have
mentioned above state that the prln-
cipal advantages of the trench Silo
over either the pit or upright silo
j. the lower cost of construction and
the ease with which the silo can be
filled and the silage fed. The only
disadvantages mentioned are that
the Silo must be covered more care
fully and that special care is re-
quired to see that the >ilage is prop
crly packed.
The trench silo, as its name i'm
plies, is simply an excavation made
in the ground il is usually or 5
feet deep, - TO II feet wide and as
long as is needed to accommodate
the amount Of silage required. The
walls on the two sides are kept
perpendicular and in most eases one
end wall is KEY perpendicular. At
the other end the wall slopes up to
ground level so that the earth exca-
waited NAV be hauled out with a
scraper and So that the silage may
be easily hauled out on cart or
sled. In nose 4eases only a dirt wall
is required. If a permanent trench
silo were desired it would be neees-
sarv to build concrete retaining
wall. but no doubt this would cost
more in imperial county than to
build a pit silo. Therefore, if a
permanent NlIO IL utslltN, IL Nouiu
probably be more satisfactory TO
build one of the other types of silo.
As can be seen from the above
description, practically the only cost
connected with building a trench silo
is labor. If the dairyman can do
this work himself he can build a
trench silo with practically no out
hay of money.
The agricultural extension service
hopes that several dairymen i'll Inn
perial county will build and use
trench silos this year. As the most
popular silage crop in this county is
honey sorghum, and as the best time
to plant this crop is during the
month of June, we are taking this
means of calling the attention of I'm
perial county dairymen to the trench
silo. Any one interested in this
type of sllo can secure further in

and the methods to use in its con-
struction by applying TO the farm ad

The hot syrup Is run into settling
tanks. which in most cases were 10
gallon cream cans, and later put
into the regular screw-top syrup can.
Most of the producers were holding
their syrup at $3.50 per gallon,
some were demanding SO.
Some, on account OF the scarcity
of fuel and help, are converting
their trees into lumber, claiming
that the business is no longer
profitable. We are inclined to think
that 1t is like every other business,
lit depends much upon the man
behind 1t. The sugar tree, like the
pine and the fir, the palm and the
cocoa and the India. rubber tree
which grow spontaneously in their
respective climates, ig a. native here,
and with only slight wound made,
which, seems to not work any per-
ceptible injury to the life Of the
tree, 1T freely gives up large per-
cent of its sweet water which man
can concentrate into d syrup with a
distinct flavor for which there is
no real substitute, and must neees-
sarily be in a class by itself.
Yes, we still think that if some of
our rough, waste land was planted
to sugar trees the country would
be richer for it.

charge Of contempt had been pre-
ferred, Charles Eyans Hughes APP
peared as counsel for the EDITOR and
moved that IL be dismissed, on the
ground that the editorials did not
intend contempt Of court. This mo-
ton, twice made, wag in both cases
denied. Editor Pollard then appear
led before Justice Levy, In supreme
court, and declared that the edi-
torials In question had been written
solely in the interest of the public
welfare. On this testimony Justice
Levy acquitted him, expressing his
belief that he was honestly trying TO
do his duty. But, Mr. Pollard" he
continued, you have given no small
measure Of pain. recognize the
honesty Of your cause and labor
the cause Of public welfare-and I
appreciate your record"
Such cases rest on ground that
demands conscientious care on both
sides. 1t would be going too far to
state that newspaper criticism of
court action should in no case be
liable to punishment as contempt.
1t is not impossible that a newspa-
per may become recklessly and dan
gerously slanderous and may in this
way contribute to a weakening of
the power Of the courts to perform
their duty and secure the admins
tration of justice. The courts must
be able to protect themselves against
unjust abuse of that kind. But on
the other hand, the public interest
demands that no official action, even
though 1t be that of the courts, shall
be out of reach of honest public
criticism. The conclusion is. of
course, that newspapers should be
extremely careful to have ample
justification before criticizing court
actions, on the one hand. while on
the other, the courts should resort
to contempt proceedings against the
press only when the reasons for do
ing so are strong and clear. A gen
eral impression that the courts in
any state or city were trying to sup

Whence Cocoa Comes

The cocoa plant is now grown in many
districts of the tropical belt, and its
consumption, in one form or another,
has increased all over the world. 1t
is an evergreen, and is equal in size
to well-grown apple tree. The pods,
about eight inches long, grow out of
the trunk, and are red, yellow, black
and purple, according to the season.
There are twenty or thirty pale red
beans inside each pod, embedded in n
soft white pulp Cocoa groves are
never planted solely with cocoa trees.
Although II grows best in hot coun-
tries, it is delicate. and has TO be pro-
tected from the sun, and for this pur-
pose forest trees are planted in the
groves. Some of these grow to great
height and have tufted head like a
natural sunshade. These protecting
trees are called "Cacao Madre,' or
cocoa mother

DEMOCRAT CORRESPONDENT
VISITS BIG SUGAR CAMP
(By silas Tnorla J

It is not our intention TO try tC
give any detailed account of an in.
dustry that has characterized the
northern part of our state ever since
the territory became known as the
western reserve. We do not think
that the average reader would be
much interested in the production
Of commodity that might have
still been on every farmers table
but has been so far forced out of
the reach of the plain people as to
even become luxury for the rich.
When we consider the sugar tree
as furnishing one of natures best
sweets. and the vast acreage of
rought untillable land, we are in
clined to think that mistake has
been made by not allowing sugar
groves to remain, or to have plant
ed banks and rough places in such
groves. Even within our recollec-
tion the greed of the land owner
for more cleared land Ito grow
more corn to feed hogs. to sell to
buy more land to grow corn and
hogs" has led him to destroy some
good stands of sugar trees.
We had no thought of write
up previous to our visit. It was
first-hand information we were af-
ter and our reason for writing this
will be seen later. We do not know
of anyone making visit to this
part of the state just for the special
purpose of visiting sugar bushes"
but it was so in our case, as we
have been interested along this

SQUIRRELS "L"

A telephone wire might be termed
public highway, but rather high
way of speech than one for transpor
tation
However, this fact does not seem to
be generally known, at least not
among our animal friends From VIII
mington, Del, comes the story of a
squirrel that travels mile every day
by telephone wire for its meals, crawl
ing all the distance along the wires.
William Krause. grocer, some little
time ago coaxed the squirrel down
from a telephone pole by offering it
nuts, and since then TIE squirrel has
made It's appearance every day. Out
of curiosity, Krause followed it one
morning and found that its nest was
in the woods fully a mile distant

line for years. AS we have already
stated, we do not intend TO go into
details, as every year farm, papers
and magazines have . something to
say pertaining to the production OF
maple syrup and sugar. Yet, with
that fact before us. we are often
asked the very simple question,
How do you get the sugar or
syrup out of the water?" The
simplest of processes which the. first
settlers learned from the Indians,
but have improved it nightly, since.
| Our main reason for writing this
was that we came in. touch with
persons who contributed SO much
to our comfort and welfare while
up there, who once lived. around
here and in whom many Of the
readers would feel personal in
ferest, SO that the article will be
I.more of an account of a VISIT with
friends rather than an account of
an industry. }
This year, because of the Sc
verify and length of the winter,
they were late getting the sugar
trees tapped up north and this gave
us an opportunity to close up our
own little business and get up there
and find them In the busiest of the
season. We boarded a Pennsyl-
vania r r.. train and made our
first stop at Akron. Weather con-
ditions at this time did not seem to
be favorable for much activity in
sugar camps, SO we decided to make
"a little detour via Twinsburg in
the northern part of Summit coun-
ty, where our friend the Rev. Muir
ray Allison. Brookfeld township
boy, with his estimable wife, who
was formerly Miss Hazel Dye of
this place, with the two children,
Jack" and Jean, IS now residing.
When we arrived at Twinsburg we
made inquiry of a man to direct us
to where Rev. Allison lived and we
incidentally asked him where the
other half of the town was. He
gave us a rather puzzled look and
asked us what we meant We told
him that we supposed there were
two towns and they were both alike.
He laughingly informed US that the
town didn't get its name that way,
as you will understand later
We were accorded a CHEEKY well
come at the parsonage and it was
our intention to remain only over
the night, but the next morning
Saturday was quite stormy and
Murray insisted that we remain
there over Sunday, and then he
would take us over to Hiram,
Portage county on Monday. We
assented to this and soon Rad rea-
sons to be glad for doing so. Rev.
Allison is the pastor of a large
Congregational church the only
church now in the town, and al
though it has been but a few
months since he came there, it was
very evident that he and his fam
lily had already won the highest re-
spect and confidence Of the people.
It was our privilege to attend
series of Easter services, which
were conducted on Sunday evening.
