This is the season when the
weather tells the story — will
th ) be a corn crop or not? As
everyone knows there is a critical
period in which corn either
“makes” or it doesn’t. We have
been in the habit of taking a crop
of nubbins with the best grace
possible, but few tasks are more
thankless than gathering a nub-
bin crop.
Fortunately it is easy to escape
that discouraging job — driving
over an acre to fill the wagon
box with corn that is mostly cob
and shuck. Besides, when corn
matures in the field the nubbins
is about all we get, while the
stalks themselves — at the right
stage — contain as much digesti-
ble nutrients for livestock as a
crop of half-filled, short earc of
dry corn.
When drouth threatens to cut
the corn crop short, when the
lower leaves begin to “burn,”
when it is plain that the grain
harvest will be light — then it is
time to save stalk and all while it
is still green enough to make good
ensilage. The trench silo is the
answer. It can be dug in a hurry,
and cheaply, and the ensiled corn
will return all the nutritive value
tion; but the natural juices of the
plants are better, and the crop
should be ensiled at its best.
Some other things we have
learned about trench silos: The
walls should not be perpendicu-
lar. The ensilage packs and keeps
better in a trench with sloping
walls because in settling down-
ward it is wedged into narrower
space and thus avoids shrinking
away from the walls, which per-
mits air to enter and spoil the out-
side of the mass. Also, sloping
walls are easier maintained.
The walls should be as smooth
as possible in any case. Old silos
in which the walls have sloughed
off in places should be smoothed
up before filling. This will widen
the trench, and increase the area
of the “face” from which the
daily supply is cut. The relative
width and depth are not as im-
portant consideration as keeping
the square footage of the face in
proportion to the number of ani- |
mals to be fed. Talk it over with!
the county agent, or your neigh-
bor who has one, follow proven
recommendations.
it had when cut. Instead of per-
mitting the corn to stand in the:
field and completely dry up, why
not save stalk, foilage, grain and
all in one operation?
The trench silo is not only
emergency crop insurance, how-
ever; it is life insurance for the
livestock. It is "production cred-
it” to keep up the milk flow, fat-
ten the lean kine, or merely hold
normal health and vigor in the
growing animals through the
months of drouths or cold. As such
it is becoming as common on
Southwestern farms as barns and
corn-cribs. It is the cheapest stor-
age known, and retains more of
the digestible nutrients in the
feed than any other form or
method of curing and storing.
Now that the peak of crop cul-
tivation is passing, there will be
time in the next few weeks to
get the trench silos ready.
The best ensilage is made by
cutting the corn or sorghum after
the grain hardens but before
much of the foilage dries up —
while the stalks themselves are
still green and succulent, but not
before the grain is well matured.
This is one of the things we
ha learned since the silo boom
or forty years ago—that the best
ensilage is not made from imma-
ture crops, as used to be recom-
mended. That we can make en-
silage from even dry stalks by
supplying enough water to satu-
rate them and facilitate fermenta-

ONE LARGE TABLE
San Jacinto Memorial
Tops Washington Shaft
A glistening shaft 12 feet loftier
than the famous Washington monu-
ment today stands on the old battle-
field of San Jacinto, about 20 miles
from Houston, where in 1936 Gen-
eral Sam Houston and his band of
some 800 tattered patriots put to
rout Santa Anna's Mexican army of
twice the strength, lifting from Tex-
as the yoke of Mexican oppression— i
assuring the complete independence
of the Lone Star state.
The San Jacinto memorial towers
567 feet above the hallowed soil
in this state park. The memorial
is reinforced concrete faced with
variegated golden buff Texas lime-
stone quarried near Austin, the state
capital. Polished limestone is used
for the interior, rough sawn rock for
the exterior. The limestone is of
shell formation and takes a high |
polish, which makes it appear quite |
similar to Travertine marble.
An idea of the immense size of
this monument may be gained from |
a scrutiny of the huge star on its
apex. This star is 35 feet high and
27 feet in breadth, and weighs 220 i
tons. Yet, from the ground it ap- I
pears to be a mere plaything.
The foundation of this memorial
was built to last through the cen-
turies. In it are 120 carloads of
gravel, 90 carloads of sand, 25 car-
loads of cement and 11 carloads of
steel. It is 124 feet square and 15 |
feet thick.
The base has two broad approach I
terraces. One rises six feet and has
a spread of 244 feet.
Dog Raising ‘Don’ts’
Important “don'ts” in raising •
puppy:
Don't forget to take the chill off
the food.
Don't feed potatoes, lima beans,
corn, peas, pork, cake, cookies, or
candy.
Don't give a dose of worm medi-
cine just because he is off his food
without the advice of your veter-
inarian.
Don't take your puppy with you
while visiting kennels. Distemper
is highly contagious and is often
carried on the clothes or rugs.
Don't send your puppy to the hos-
pital if it is possible to care for him
at home. Have the veterinarian
call.
Don’t bathe a puppy. Wipe with
a damp cloth and brush well. Wait
until it is six months old, if possible,
before a bath is given.
Million Flowers Sold Daily
More than 1,000,000 flowers a day
are exported each spring from San
Remo, Italy, to all parts of Europe
by more than 25,000 flower growers.
Flowers come second only to the
tourist business. A gargantuan flow-
er market built by the city brings
more than 4,000 growers with carna-
tions, roses, violets, and mimosa to
San Remo every morning. Carna- I
tions sell wholesale from $1.50 to
$1.75 per 100; roses 11.80 per dozen.
Perfect climatic conditions have |
made the seaside resort a perfect
haven for flower growers for more
than 100 years. s.^^-.- .
Height of Crabtree Falls
The Virginia Conservation com-
mission says that Crabtree creek
descends in a series of falls or cas-
cades from an altitude of about
3,300-3,400 feet to an altitude of
about 1,400 feet in a distance of
about two miles in a winding
course. Thus the total (vertical)
drop of Crabtree creek in a dis-
tance of about two miles is approx-
imately 1,900 feet. The highest cas-
cade, called the Grand cataract, is
laid to make a fall of 500 feet, and
the lowest of the five cascades is
reported to be about 50 feet high.
