WHY NOT BE TRUTHFUL.
The Republicans charge President
Wilson with conducting the war on a
partisan basis, distrusting Republican
patriots and appointing his own part-
isans. Why not tell the truth ?
General Pershing, Commander-in-
Chief in France, was a Republican, as
was General March, Chief of Staff;
General Goethals, Assistant Chief, and
General Crowder, Provost Marshal Gen-
eral. Other Republicans given high
place were Keppel, Scott and Stettinius,
Assistant Secretaries of War ; Admiral
Sims, Commander of our overseas naval
forces; Harry Garfield, Fuel Adminis-
trator; Charles M. Schwab, Frank Van-
derlip, Henry P. Davison, Julius Rosen-
wald and many other distinguished Re-
publicans were placed on war boards.

gate the possibilities of using the Rus-
sian sunflower as a dairy cattle silage
pa feed iu this state. The results of their
findings are interesting.
A feeding test on sunflower silage was
conducted at the station recently, The
crop was preserved perfectly with no
special preparations but the silage did
not prove to be very palatable, It was
difficult to induce some cows to eat it in
sufficent quantities to take care of main-
tenance and production. Some had to
have grain mixed in, and others ate it
readily after the first few days. Meas-
ured in milk production, sunflower sil.
age proved to be only about 75 per cent,
as good as straight corn silage.
A mixture of sunflowers and corn, fif-
ty-fifty, and grown separately, would
likely be about as palatable as corn sil
age and give as good results in milk
production, It is planned to conduct
such a feeding test during the coming
winter at State College. Sunflowers
hardly have a place as a straight silage
crop in this state except in sections
where corn is not a sure crop. It is the
belief, however, that the erop will have
a place as a mixture Proposition, but a
definite conclusion on this point is with-
heid until further tests are carried out.
The main advantages in using sunflow-
er silage are that the crop is very
draught fegiating, will grow on soils of
low or medium fertility, resista freezing
very well and yields from 40 to 30 per
cent kigher than corn,

WATERING SILAGE—On account
of the wet season, the moisture content
of the corn this year is quite high, in
most cases except where freezing has
occurred, it will not be necessary to add
water to silage as the filling takes place.
Frosted corn dries out very rapidly, and
it is generally necessary to add water,
The best scheme is to run a hose directly
into the silo and have a man distribute
the water so as to wet down all particles
uniformly as the filling goes on,
