Proper Time to Harvest
Corn Crop for Silage

Corn for silage should be harvest
ed when the kernels are well denied
but while the plants are still green
enough to pack well and to ferment
normally in the soil. An air tight silo
is, of course, essential. Given these
conditions the general quality of the
silage may be improved by the fol-
lowing practices:
1. Cut the corn into small pieces.
If the pieces are from one-half to
three-fourths of an inch in length, the
silage will pack well and will be
eaten with minimum waste.
2. The heavy and the light parts of
the corn should be evenly distributed
so that the whole mass can be firmly
and evenly packed in the silo. If the
heavy parts-ears and stalks-are
thrown largely in the center or one
side, the silage will settle unevenly
and considerable spelling will result.
If the corn is too ripe to pack well,
water should be added as needed. A
silo may be filled with dry shock
corn, which makes satisfactory feed
with the addition of sufficient water,
but it is not so palatable as silage cut
at the proper stage and put into the
silO green. Water may be run into
the top of the blower by means of
holes. The water should be well dis
tributed to facilitate packing.

First Work Started in Inter
mountain Regions.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Work on profitable practices in the
operation and management Of apiaries,
as a preliminary step to the study of
the economics of honey production,
has been started by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The prac-
tice study is being undertaken by the
division Of bee culture of the bureau
of entomology, and the division of
farm management and costs of the
bureau of agricultural economics. 9th
er divisions of the bureau of agricul-
tural economics have under way
studies of the important problem of
honey marketing.
The first practice study has already
been started In the intermountain re-
gion, where conditions seem favorable
for inaugurating it at this time. 1t is
felt that the work can be done in that
region more easily, and therefore at
less expense, than in some Of the other
beekeeping regions because of the
presence of the Intermountain Field
station, the large number Of colonies,
and the relatively high percentage Of
commercial beekeepers. The limited
amount of money now available is be-
ing used for this part of the work. 1t
is planned to continue the investiga-
tion In two or more other important
honey producing regions until a thor
ough study has been made Of practices
and systems of management under
various typical beekeeping conditions.
1t is needless to say that such In
vestigations as planned cannot be car

Grade or Quality of Prod
uct Is of More Impor-
lance Than Kind.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
Prejudice against certain kinds of
hay on the claim of inferior feeding
value is often due to a difference in
quality rather than to the kind of hay.
according to E. c.. Parker, hay stand
ardization specialist, bureau of agri-
cultural economics, United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Many horse, mule and cattle feed
ers, Mr.. Parker says, are of the opin-
ion that hay made from either prairie
grass or other grasses is of inferior
value to either timothy or Johnson
hay. This prejudice is usually justi-
fed where bluestem, bluegress, red
top, or other kind of grass hay is
overripe, bleached and fibrous when
harvested, because all kinds of prairie
or other "grass hays" when overripe,
are comparatively low In feed value
and palatability.
Feed Value of Timothy.
The same is true, however, of over
ripe timothy or Johnson hay. Analyses
of timothy cut at various stages of
maturity show that timothy cut not
later than full bloom has higher
feed value than timothy cut at the
ripe seed stage. Variations in feed
value of all hay are caused by time
of cutting, weather damage, and fer
mentation. The United States stand
ards for timothy, Johnson, prairie, and
grass hay reflect approximately these
variations, so that usually the grade
or quality of any of these hays is of
more Importance than the kind as a
guide to feed value.
Hay, to meet the requirements of
the United States No. l grade, must be
cut early, cured with little or no DAM
age from rain or sweating, and must
not contain over 10 per cent of foreign
material. Hay which meets the re-
quirements of the United States No. 2
grade consists, usually, of either (a)
early cut hay which received an ap-
preciable though not severe degree of
weather damage, or (b) late cut,
though not fully ripe, hay which was
cured with little or no weather dam
age, and in either case the hay must
not contain over 10 per cent foreign
material.
No. Grade Requirements.
Hay which meets the requirements
of the United States No. grade con-
sists, usually, of either (a) early cut
hay which was severely weather DAM
aged, or (b) distinctly overripe hay,
and in either case the hay must not
contain over 20 per cent foreign ma
terial. United States sample grade is
either (a) hay that is unsound be-
cause of wetness, rust, or mold, (b)
hay which contains over 20 per cent
foreign material, or (c) badly over
ripe hay.
These brief descriptions Of the va
rious United States grades of prairie
hay, grass hay, timothy hay, and john
son hay, Mr.. Parker says, show that

Agricultural Notes

Did you ever happen to think that
fall in the garden really begins In
the summer?
Hay is worth more for milk pro-
duction IL it is cut early than IL 1t is
fully matured.
Now Is the time for the poultry
raiser to save expense by starting to
Gull out the low producers among his
flock.
Loafing hens in the farm flock
eat up the profits the busy biddies
make. Good poultrymen soon send
them to the butcher.
Now is the time to select the dairy
animals intended for exhibition at the
fall fairs. They should be fed well,
groomed daily, and taught to lead
and stand.
To maintain a good milk flow dur
ing the fall months, extra feeding of
green feed or grain, or both, should
begin now or as soon as pastures be-
gin to get short
If high production is to be main
tanned the hen flock must consume
large quantities of laying mash and
be culled regularly every two weeks,
Penn State poultry specialists say.
Salt is needed by all animals that
eat vegetable and plant food. The
average requirements for cows is
about three-fourths of an ounce a
day per 1000 pounds live weight and
similar amount for each 20 pounds
of milk produced.
Copper carbonate dust does not kill
the smut spores on the seed wheat
until after the seed is in the ground
where the dust is dissolved by the
water in the soil. For this reason.
it Is essential that the dust stick on
the seed until 1t is planted. Success
full treating means plenty of dust and
sufficient agitation in fairly alright
treater to thoroughly coat each kerr
mel.

Bible in Philippines

than the combined circulation OF all
newspapers, exceeding 125.O00 copies
annually. No other book has attained

but does not yield quite as well,
neither does it produce as large a
second crop. 1t frequently lives for
several years while red seldom lives
for more than two years. However,
1t cannot be counted upon for m re
than two seasons. Alsike should be
used exclusively on soils which are
inclined to be wet but mixture of
red and alsike is best where both

Apiary Practice and Honey
Marketing Study Has Begun

ried out successfully without the ac-
tive cooperation of the beekeepers,
beekeepers' organizations and the bee
press. Beekeepers or organizations
particularly interested are invited to
write to the division of bee culture
or the division of farm management
and costs, as 1t is desired to make as
many personal contacts as possible in
the course of the work. Bookkeeping
systems showing the results of profit
able practices are especially desired at
this time, particularly from beekeep-
ers In the intermountain region.

The average Californian probably
isn't a Californian at all, but halls

according to figures Of L. e. Ross,
chief Of the states bureau of vital
statistics. Only one-third of the pres
ent population of the state is native.
Illinois leads all other states in popu-
lating the Golden State, having con-
tributed $4,000 residents. Missouri
has contributed 100000 inhabitants !;
New York, 100000; Ohio, $3.50; Iowa,
$4,000, and Kansas, 62,S5O.

Standardized Hay

the hay of each grade has somewhat
different quality or feed value. There
is no material difference, however, in
