Farmers and gardeners who get
high yields from potash applica-
tons one year and little results the
next year may be looking at the
moisture level in their soils for one
Of the answers in the future.

Of Forage Preservation On Your Farm

When the forages were fed it was
found that the Wilted silagc was
more palatable than any Of the
other forages Hays that were barn
dried with and without heat and
hays that were field-cured without
rain damage were all about equally
palatable, but slightly less pala-
table than silage Field-cured hay

for milk production on an equal
dry matter basis along with corn
silage and grain except the badly
damaged field-cured hay which
was of lower value.
More nutrients were preserved by
making silage OF barn-drying the
hay crops than by field curing. even
when weather conditions were fav-
orable for field curing.
Using the average Of all the field
cured hay as a basis Of 100, the
relative potential milk production
per acre would be SO per cent for
the fleld-cured hay rain, l09 per
cent for the field-cured hay no
rain, ll2 per cent for the barn
dryed hay no heat, lis per cent
for Wilted silage, and liz per cent
for the barn-dried hay heat.

| parms.)
| Silage may be the answer to the
problem Of forage preservation Oh
your farm!
Dr. w. a. Hardison dairy SCENT
ist at VPI, says making silage from
he hay crop has many advantages.
1t is a good way to handle heavy
flrst-cutting crops that are ready
to harvest during unfavorable hay
curing weather At least as COM
pared to making hay under field
curing conditions, making silage of
fers a way to preserve feed nu-
trients more efficiently Further
more, silage is palatable and high
in feeding value.
Dr. Hardison backs up his be
lief with some reports of research
done in several states. In tests de
signed to study the relative merits
OF different methods Of harvesting
and preserving alfalfa forage for
dairy feed it was found that leaf
loss averaged AIS per cent for field
cured hay varying from 1875 per
cent when none Of the hay was wet
to 74.5 per cent for hay wet by
three showers, 28.2 per cent for
barn-dried hay. and l78 per cent
for Wilted Silage. On an average,
the leaf loss for the field-cured hay
was liz times as much as that for
barn-dried hay. and ~ times as
much as that for Wilted sllage.
In these studies dry matter losses
were larger in the field than dur
ing storage for all methods Of
preservation except ensiling With
silage. the losses during storage
were higher than those in the field.
Total dry matter losses ranged
from Is per cent for hay barn-dried
with heat to 366 per cent for
Weathered field-cured hay. About II
per cent Of the dry matter was lost
when the forage was stored as
Wilted silage.
More total digesuble nutrients. dl-
gestible portein and carotene were
preserved for feeding in wilted sill
age than in either field-cured or
barn-dried hay. The sllage also was
lowest in crude fiber.
Overall changes in composition
and quality from cutting to feed
ing were smallest for sllage and
greater for barn-dried

Soybeans Need
Fertilizer, Lime

Ihc weld Of soybeans depends on
The right combination of many pro
ductlcn practices. says NJ r. Lacy.
associate agronomist Agricultural
Extension Service, VPI.
Adapted varieties, time OF plant
ing rate Of planting, fertility, lime.
and weed control are some of the
more important practices In SOW
bean production Of these practices.
Lacy SAYS, fertility is often the
most neglected.
The fact that soybeans do not
generally respond to direct fertl-
llzer application does not mean that
the soybean crop requires small
amount of plant food. Actually. a
good soybean crop Will remove
from the soil more plant food than
an equivalent corn crop. 1t is there
fore important that adequate fer
tilizer be applied through sound "ro.
tation fertilization to grew all
crops in the rotation, including soy
beans. efficiently.
Fertilizer for soybeans can be APP
piled on any crop in the rotation,
such as corn, small grains, DR. even
on cover crops If fertilize IT for
soybeans is applied in this manner,
it is not necessary to fertilize the
soybean crop directly. If adequate
fertilizer is not applied in the TO
tation for soybeans, the soybean
crop Should be fortified with 80 to
so pounds Of phosphorus and 60 to
100 pounds Of potash available in
q OH ratio to maintain the
fertility Of the soil.

Macmillan'S final television APP
peal last night was cast in q
mood of almost casual phil
oSophical discussion. If he had
been any more relaxed he
would have fallen down. AS q
political appeal it was so SUBJ
tilely adroit that the average
listener probably missed a num-
Der of points altogether.
Modest Macmillan
Modest to the last, Mr.. Mac
milan carefully avoided the
one real issue Of this election
the fact that a Labor victory
tomorrow would throw the
Western camp into a state of
utter confusion and seriously
jeopardize the chances of an
early summit meeting.
1t was enough for him to
point to his own small contri-
button to the cause of better
EaSt-WeSt understanding And
while he was mot so vain and
foolish" as to think that he had
any special qualifications" to
speak for Britain in the COM
ing talks, his party did at least
know its own mind on the is
sues.
Altogether, it is not surpris-
ing that the latest prediction
polls have shown a steady in
crease in the number of people
who have not decided in favor
Of either party. The experts
today are predicting that a
high percentage of these people
will not bother to vote at all,
which encourages the general
feeling that a major upset is
not in the making.

The candidates have retired to
their scattered constituencies to
await the verdict.
In fact, however, most people
could hardly be cooler than they
are already. The final round of
an appallingly dreary campaign
has done nothing to raise the
public temperature.

Labor Party, may have found

CoIorLiffs Family Morale,
San Francisco StyIists Say

Interior colors visible from
the outside. such as curtains
and draperies, should match or
harmonic with colors used on
the roof, siding and trim, say
the Rubeys.
I'VE also feel it's important
that other interior colors be
picked up from the exterior
color scheme" Albert points
out. For example, if a door is
painted pink and you open it
and walk into a hallway with
a pink carpet and harmonizing
walls, you get feeling of unity.
Often this isn't Immediately
recognizable, but it makes the
whole house seem better, some
how"
The Rubeys' technique for
color styling a house is to begin
with the roof. The color or shade
of the asphalt shingles gives
them a key from which to pick
a harmonizing scheme of COL
ors for the entire house.
"As an example," says Nancy,
''if we decide on an asphalt
shingle roof in one of the bright
pastels, we choose siding in
harmonizing color and single
trim shade with no accent COL
ors.
But if the shingles are
neutral brown or gray, we use
three colors on the rest of the
house-two harmonizing shades
for the siding and trim, and a
bright accent on doors, shutters
and window boxes"
