An Nlusory Law

The bank deposit guaranty law in
any form is a snare and delusion, de-
clares banker in state where 1t has
been tried, adding: ut is license and
encouragement to irresponsible banks
and banking and penalties capital sol
vency and prudent banking. 1t creates
a sense Of security in the minds of the
unthinking and uniformed that is
false and impossible to be realized on
ultimately. To compare it to legitimate
insurance Is without reason and alb
surd 1t jeopardizes the solvency of all
banks and the safety of all depositors
for the theoretical safety of a few.
Guaranty schemes always have been,
are and always will be impotent, futile
and disastrous. 1t is not new. Has been
tried, failed and discarded at intervals
for more than 100 years in this coun-
try. No well-informed, honest and in
telligent mind can accept 1t in prin-
ciple or practice. Competent bank su-
pervision and restriction of banks to
territory that will warrant sufficient
capital investment and accounts Is the
only sane and honest course and will
afford all the guaranty the depositing
public Is entitled to as compared with
all other human affairs"

THE s1Lo IN DAIRY
PRODUCTION
E. C. DURDLE,
County Agent.

There are many advantages to be
derived by the dairyman from the use
of silo, and it has been these adj
vantages that are responsible for the
widespread use of the silo through
out the dairy districts.
About 48 years ago the silo was in
troduced in this country from France,
where in 1875 Auguste Goffet an
nounced successful results, covering
several years, preserving forage. The
discovery was of so great import that
the French Government awarded him
the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
At low expense silage furnishes
high quality succulent feed for any
desired season of the year. The cost
of silage per ton will vary widely,
depending on the price of labor, yield
per acre, etc. However when average
yields are secured, the cost should
range from $500 to $500 per ton, in
Guiding all expenses in growing and
harvesting the crop. For winter feed
ing silage furnishes very necessary
as well as cheap form of succulence,
and in summer it assists the pasture
greatly, and helps to maintain maxi
mum production throughout the warm
er months.
The use of silage permits the keep
ing of more stock on given area of
land, and less of the crop nutrients
are wasted through the fermentation
which takes place in silage than are
lost when the forage is cured. The
product from a given area can be
stored in less space as silage than
dry forage. A cubic foot of hay in the
NOV, weighing about S pounds, con-
tains approximately 4.3 pounds of
dry matter. An average cubic foot
of corn silage from 80 foot silo
weighs about 1916 pounds and will
contain 1914 pounds dry matter or
nearly Us times as much as in the hay,

OF Interest to Farmers
by County Agent E.. c. Durde)
County Agent E.. C. Durdle)

of possibly 800 pounds of ammonium
sulphate per acre Immediately follow
ing cleaning up CT the patch. Three
to four weeks later another $50 pounds
may be applied in the rills and satcr-
ed in without too heavy irrigation.
Still another application may be made
three to four weeks later, this appli-
cation being possibly 100 pounds. This
would include practically 10 pounds
of nitrogen. Applied at these different
periods it should bring about maxi
mum top growth and the storage of
considerable food in the crowns for
next springs crop. During the winter
ten to twelve tons Of manure applied
either broadcase or In bitches between
the rows should be sufficient applica-
ton. AS to the application of phos-
pilates and potash more will be said
about this later when it has been
possible to get additional information
from the plots this year.
With the heavy application suggest
ed above we believe it might be pos
sible to fertilize with one or two
rather light applications during the
cutting season, possible rs to 100
pounds. This can be done where
large amount of starch has been stored
through good thrifty growth during
the latter part of the preceding grow
ing season. We have watched fields
which have been fortified with as
high as total of 800 pounds of nj
trogen to the year ard these seem to
be showing very good results and we
do not believe that the use of as high
as ITO or even up to $50 pounds of
nitrogen during the summer months
might be too much on many fields.
A careful study of strawberry fer
tilization by the Ohio station has
shown that fertilizers applied in late
a!u.ner or early fall have much more
to do with the development OF the
crop for the coming season than do
ertilizers applied in late winter or
early spring. We are inclined to feel
hat the application of nitrogen fertili-
GERS can be made to the strawberry
field the same as the asparagus field
with the exception that the application
would not want to be any heavier,
and would not need to be followed
iy the heavy winter application that
we recommended for the asparagus.
The fertilization plots on berries which
We have beer running this year show
definitely that more nitrogen is need
ed than we have been applying and in
fact where los pounds Of nitrogen was
applied this spring along side of the
plot on field the yield and growth of
berries from present indications would
seem to justify the heavier nitrogen
application.
We feel at any rate that from all
Of the field studies that generous
use of nitrogen fertilizers during the
summer months is to be recommend
ed

STRAWBERRY AND ASPARA.
GUS FERTILIZATION

Many are asking in regard to the
fertilization of strawberries and aspara-
gus for the remainder of the season.
Il does not seem to us that fertiliza-
ton OF these two crops will differ
widely for the remainder of the year
except in possibly the amount of fer
tilizer which one might apply.
Nitrogen seems to be the most i'm
portant element, particularly for the
remainder of the year. For asparagus
fields on which there is good stand
which may not have been fortified
SO very heavily within recent months
We would recommend the application

FISHING PARTY VISITS
 LAYING, RANGER STATION

A fishing party enroute home from Russian River Sunday eve ming, stopped in at the Kenai Lake Ranger Station.
 While the boat was moored there, a group walked down to Lawing where they were shown the wonderful collection of troph- ies at the Lawing Lodge by MT. and Mrs. William LaWing.
 Members of the party were out spoken in their praise of the courteous attention and treatment shown them on their brief visit to this interior wonderland" of the North.
 Time did not permit a visit to the big modern Williamson silver fox ranch, much to the party's regret.
