Ensilage Chore
Is Simplified
By Machinery
By jones BirchfieId

The steady mechanization Of the
American farm becomes more EVIL
dent at this season Of the yeal
when farmers fill silos with winte,
feed.
It hasn't been 50 many years
since droves Of volunteers, were re-
cruited from the District for fields
of Virginia and Maryland to lend
g hand with cutting the corn for
the silos. This was trucked to the
barn lot, where 1t was chopped and
blown into the silo. The job was
hard one. 1t took lots Of men
and long hours of work
This picture Is gradually chang
ing. While there still Is a lot OF
ensilage cut by hand, the number
of machines seen doing the job
is increasing.
B. M. Carper Of Mclean, Va.
brother of G. Wallace Carper,
chairman of the Fairfax County
Board of Supervisors, put in opera
ton last week a Fox ensilage cutter,
the first In Fairfax County.
Mr.. Carper's machine, which is
tractor drawn, cuts the corn, chops
it and blows the ensilage into a
truck. The chopped ensilage Is
then blown into the si1o by means
of a special blower.
In addition to Mr.. Carper, who
operates the cutter, two truck driv-
ers, a packer who works inside the
silo and one man to operate the
blower is all the crew necessary in
the silo-flling operation. The corn
was well chopped, and the work
goes faster than with double the
crew necessary under the old con-
ditions.
Mr.. Carper explained that the
machine, which cost in the neigh
borhood of $1,4oo, will double in
the hay field. Here it works on
the windrow, chopping the hay to
be blown into the NOW.
Mr.. Carper's cutter is not the only
type of ensilage machine in use in
the nearby section. Most of the
others, however, cut the corn and
load it on trucks or wagons In the
field. 1t is then chopped and blown
into the silo in the conventional
manner. These cutters may demand
larger crews than is necessary with
the Carper machine.
Farm Incomes Rise.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
iomics has reported that the total
cash receipts Of American farmers
during the first eight months of this
year we're around 174 billion dollars,
q gain of 81 per cent over the same
period last year. The bureau said
a "a per cent increase IN prices ac-
counted for most Of the change in
income.
Receipts from livestock and prod
ucts showed 80 per cent gain, the
bureau said. with general crop re-
ceipts nearly one-fifth greater than
last year. Receipts for dairy and
poultry products showed smaller
increases.

showing color, the evening before
the show. At show time bud
should be from half to two-thirds
open.
DaffodiIs and Glads.
A daffodil fan vii have to work q
bit farther ahead than the rose
grower for he must have strong
growing bulbs to plant in the fall.
preferably large single-nosed bulbs.
They will need a well-prepared bed,
one that has ample humus and bone
meal worked in deeply. An applica-
ton of plant food in spring, say
early March or as soon as the frost
is out of the ground (but before the
growing tips show above the
grounO will give further stimulus
to them. Timing is most important
when one wishes to enter large
collection. One may have to shade
some to hold them back and to pro-
tect other varieties to speed up their
growth. BY planting in warm
sheltered situation late Towering
varieties can be brought into flower
several days earlier.
The gladiolus grower has some
what q problem in having large
number of varieties ready for q
given show date, since they do not
all blossom in the same length OF
time. However, most glad catalogues
list the number of days to maturity
The next problem Is the preparing
Of the soil. A liberal addition OF
humus to the soil will help greatly
in keeping the plants growing rap
idly during the summer. Bone meal
Is good. Many will give additional
applications of super-phosphate for
glads seem to need 1t. Spraying to
control the thrip df present. is i'm
perative for show quality bloom.
Cut the spikes when the first dow
est bud shows color and allow them
to open indoors. 1t is desirable to
have four or more f1orets open at
show time, but the bottom one
should not have begun to wither.
Guard and Stake Dahlias.
Dahlia fans normally delay plant
ing their tubers until late in May or
early June. For large sized flowers
they restrict each plant to not more
than two stems, and allow only one
bud to develop on each stem which
is rather rigorous treatment. How
ever, many good gardeners allow a
plant to develop 3 or even stems,
each of which will have single bud.
But dahlias have to grow all sum-
mer, they need protection from in
|sects, especially the mites and the
European corn-borer, and they need
to be kept well watered and fertil-
lied 50 that they make continuous
progress. Stake the taller growing
plants which iS normally done at
planting time TO avoid injury to the
tuber. In the fall 1t may be neces-
sary to protect the potential win
ming bloom from rain injury be-
cause dahlia blooms should not be
cut until almost fully opened. At
that stage the petals at the back
edge are still In good condition and
those in the center have fully
opened.
The iris exhibitor may, often does
begin two years before a show by
separating his iris and planting
them in well prepared bed. Iris is

cut his flowers without help, car
ried them to the show and entered
them in his own name. His dad
was both elated and chagrined when
the boy received several ribbons for
his entries, including that of best

than dad did that year.
All of which goes to show that
good culture and bit of luck 90
long way. Certainly any amateur
can do as well as the 12-year -old
If he tries.
Some SHOW" Peculiarities.
In some cases, such as iris, one
needs to have some Of the newer
varieties, for there has been much
improvement in the iris varieties
of recent years. Show quality Is
the term applied to those varieties
which are most likely to conform
to the standards Of excellence usec
by the judges. A radiance rose, fol
instance, with its globular buds, 1.
not rated very highly as an exhibi.
ton variety. Most judges prefer Q
long. pointed bud. Similarly, most
iris judges consider a variety with
falls that hang down, especially Il
they hug the stem, as objectionab BILE
| A daffodil with twisted or sep
arated petals in the perianth can
never be as good as show flower
as one that has them in q plane.
A glad that has it's horets opening
around the stem, rather than all
facing in the same direction, Is con-
sidered poor, and If the stem is
crooked 1t is entirely lacking in
show quality.
But sometimes q well grown
specimen of a variety that does not
have SO much show quality beats
one that has "the makings" Of a
winner. Good cuulture does make q
difference.
The rose grower with less than q
dozen roses sometimes can pick q
bloom that will rate ahead of the
fellow with a hundred bushes, be-
cause he has given them the at
tention that produces q perfect
bloom. BY this we mean that he has
pruned, fertilized, sprayed and cul-
tivated at the time when such at
tention was most important. Even
the disbudding as soon as the buds
show is necessarily done while they
are small. for then 1t leaves nc
obvious scar. Disbudding sends the
plants strength into the remaining
buds which consequently will be
larger. Cut the stems as long as
possible, selecting those with buds

PARTIES Increase.
Along with the increases in farm
ers' incomes, the bureau reported
that higher prices paid by farmers
for feed, plus a general increase in
living costs raised parity prices
nearly 2 per cent during the month
which ended August IS. At a new
record Of 235 per cent of the 191O-14
average, the bureau said the index
of prices paid, interest and taxes is
about 16 per cent higher than a year
ago.
Meanwhile, the bureau added, the
index Of prices received stayed at
the July level of 276, with the higher
prices received for meat animals,
truck and feed crops being offset
by drops in the prices of fruits and
cotton.
