II Is a common belief that the
English" ivy may be used any
where, for ground cover. wall
cover and for indoor decoration.
Within certain limitations this is
true, but. on the other hand,
greater success can be obtained by
using the right varieties. In the
first place, the so-called English"
ivy that we commonly grow Is
not English ivy but a variety OF
it-Irish Hedera helix var. hi
bernica) Ivy.
Very little true English ivy has
been planted in the last so to IS
years. Those choice little pots OF
ivy which are sold at Williams
burg and similar Colonial areas
usually are the TRUE English ivy.
This Is Of especial interest to those
who wish to cover concrete or
other hard, smooth surfaces, for
the English ivy will climb such
surfaces readily. Irish ivy climbs
successfully only on porous sur
faces. On the other hand, the
English ivy has a thinner. less
waxy textured leaf and gray. not
yellowish veins and the leaf Is
more deeply lobed than its Irish
daughter.
The many named varieties Of
ivy now offered ore almost en-
tirely variations Of the Irish ivy.
The size and shape as we'll as the
color of the leaf are the basis Of
their distinction. The newer
branching types with their cute"
little leaves should not be planted
hopefully beside the foundation.
They are Of value in the rock
garden and for pot culture in
doors. For wall covering it is de-

Grasses and Legumes
Expert Gives Six Steps to Follow for
Effective Pack Without Preservatives

Good quality silage can be made
from grasses and legumes without
the use Of preseryatives, according
to ]. B. Shepherd Of the Bureau
of Dairy Industry at the Beltsville
Research Center.
Mr.. Shepherd said the bureau
has made from 100 to 200 tons
of grass silage by the willing
method" each year for the last
10 years. Most of it. he said. has
been of excellent quality-free
from mold and equal in feeding
value to unwilted silage put up
with molasses or other preserva-
tives.
In addition to the BeltSville ex-
periments, many dairy farmers in
the Washington area have made
good silage without the use Of
preservatives for a number OF
years.
c. T. Rice, Fairfax County
dairyman, was one Of the first
farmers in this area to ensile
grasses and legumes. With the
exception of one year. he has
never used preservatives. That
year. he said. molasses was used
and the quality of the silage was
lower than ever before.
Molasses Increases Cost.
Mr.. Rice said the use Of mo-
lasses would increase the cost Of
grass silage by as much as SIS a
ton. He agrees with other dairy
men that farmers must watch
costs more carefully in the face
of declining milk prices.
On the Rice farm near Oakton.
grass that was ensiled SIX years
ago was fed to the herd this year
with good results. Mr.. Rice said
this old silage appeared as fresh
as that put In the silo last sum-
mer. -..f
Mr.. Shepherd pointed out that
grasses and legumes. to be ensiled
properly without preservatives,
must first be wilted before fed
into the silo. The moisture con-
tent Of the forage. he said. should
be from so to SO per cent.

Ivies for the House and Garden
Varieties Are Available for Wall and
Ground Cover and for Indoor Planting
By w. N. Younemon

sirable to use only those varieties
known to climb.
Ivy has two distinct stages Of
growth. The first. called juvenile.
is characterized by its rapid
growth, either along the ground
or up support, Having reached
the top of the support the growth
becomes twiggy. almost shrublike,
and even the leaf growth changes
The leaves become thicker and
may lose their lobes. and at this
stage the ivy often flowers and
bears fruit. Cuttings taken at
this stage. which is called mature.
retain that form of growth and
develop into low-growing bushes
which may be Of value for land
scape work, but certainly are of
practically no value for covering
a brick wall.
While ivy will grow in the sun
II given good culture. 1t Is pri-
marily a shade lover.
Speaking Of covering a wall. 1t
is important to note that ivy does
best on east and north exposures,
but very poorly on a south or west
wall. This is because Of our mild
winters which cause ivy to start
into active growth during periods
of mild weather and then Is sub
ject to injury or killing when the
temperature drops below freezing.
Fasten to Walls.
Ivy seldom climbs on a wall I'M
assisted. Usually the home owner
seeking to have an "ivy-covered
cottage" fastens the ends Of the
shoots to the brick with wire
stapels or one of the commercially
available fasteners that may be
cernented on. This will need to be
repeated every 10 or IL inches
until the rootlike attachment is
firmly made. Once well anchored,
the new growth needs no further
assistance. Ivy does not damage
brick or masonry; If anything. it
protects the wall from weather
damage. since it absorbs much of
the moisture and acts as a blanket
to prevent rapid changes in tenn
perature-factors which cause de-
terioration.
One authority maintains that.
unless the ivy makes more rapid
growth than the tree, it will not
injure a living tree since 1t is not
parasitic.
Ivy as a house plant, especially
for windows facing the north or
east is both interesting and at
tractive. The varieties chosen for
this purpose, are. for the most
part, of the branching type which
are slow growing and compact.
Typical of this group is Meriden
Beauty which has tiny leaves OF
medium green and is very compact
in growth habit.
For indoor culture ivy should be
ported in q medium heavy soil
mixture. A suitable mixture may
be prepared from five parts of
garden loan, one part of compost
or peatmoss and one part Of half
bone meal and half sheep manure.
If loan is unavailable and clay
must be used add one part by
volume of sand. Mix these in
gradients thoroughly, moisten and
allow to stand a few days before
potting up the rooted cuttings.

Feeding milk COWS grass silage
is almost like having pasture in
the winter. Mr.. Shepherd said
that when alfalfa silage was fed
test COWS. along with a limited
amount Of corn silage and the
usual grain ration, the butterfat
prA auced was much higher in
viAmin A than the butterfat pro-
duced by the same cows on the
usual winter ration Of hay and
grain, or hay. grain and corr
Silage.
1T was more nearly like that
produced by the same COWS the
previous summer on good pas
ture." Mr.. Shepherd said.
Six Rules Listed.
Here are six steps, Mr.. Shep-
herd said. that, If followed. viii
insure a good quality grass silage
/. Silos must be alright and
have smooth walls so that the
chopped forage crop will pack
down and exclude all air pockets
Air in the silage will cause a mold
2. The crop should be wilted
slightly in the windrow. 1t should
be put in the silo when 1t reaches
from so to SO per cent moisture
content. County agents can OBJ
tain plans for a simple moisture
testing device that can be con-
structed cheaply on any farm.
8. The forage cutter should be
set for a one fourth-inch cut. A
longer cut results In poorer pack
ing in the silo and danger Of mold
formation.
4. The forage should be distrib-
uted evenly and tramped thor
oughly in the top third Of the silo,
The material going in the top por-
ton of the silo should be wilted
only slightly so that the more
moist forage will pack tighter.
5. Heavy. unwilted silage should
be used at the very top Of the
silo, taking up from four to six
feet. This top section will warm
up naturally, producing q desir-
able fermentation and a mild sill
age. It helps seal the silo.
6. The top of the silo should be
leveled of, tramping the forage
near the walls. Tramping should
be continued during the settling
period in order to exclude pos
sible air leaks near the walls.
