Grass silage exerts a greater bursting pressure in silos than does normal corn silage, and its juices are more strongly acid, and hence more likely to corrode walls than corn silage. masonry Executor.

These rec- ords were surnmarized by home ac- counts specialists from the Univer- sity of Illinois college of agriculture. First of all newlyweds will find that undoubtedly the money value of their living and savings will in- crease from the first five years they are married until around the time they will celebrate their silver wed- ding anniversary. From then on, it’s pretty likely to decline. So say those who have been paying the bills these many years. Advice given is to plan ahead for the peak times of expense. Savings increase during this same period of marriage and then decline gradually. The decline is the re- sult primarily of the decline in life insurance payments and payment of principal, say home accounts spe- cialists. However, there usually is an increase in other investments for old age. Newlyweds won't have to worry much about the food bills during the first four years of their mar- ried life, but they will have to figure on furnishing and equipping their home then. Clothing bills are lowest at this period, because there are few people in the family, but the highest average amount for clothing usual- ly is spent by women married one to four years—a fact of interest to all husbands. During the five to nine years mar- ried period, young folks might as well figure on doctor bills and med- ical expense for babies. Other items will have to be budgeted ac- cordingly. There was a tendency for operating expenses for the household to go up gradually over a period of years. However, it is higher during the five to nine year period probably because of addition- al services needed while the chil- dren were small, Cash outlay for housing and recreational equipment reaches its peak during the 10 to 15 year mar- riage period. Families might as well figure right now that they will spend a great deal of money keeping up with ex- penses in the 15 to 25 year mar- ried period, for this is the time when savings, food, clothing, recreation, and education, other than college, reach their peak and cause a drain on the purse. Usually the children are in high school. Furnishings and equipment reach their second high- est peak at this time, largely be- cause furnishings have to be re- placed and parents wish to make their home as attractive as possible for the young people. College expenses start showing up in the budget during the 15 to 25 years married period, but reach their peak in the following 10 years. Church contributions and commu- nity welfare are major items at this time. After a couple has been married 35 years, their chief type of savings goes into investments. This is prob- ably because families are recouping funds expended on the children dur- ing earlier periods and also are sav- ing for old age, the specialists ex- plain. Transportation costs and gifts are at their peak during this period, probably because the couple has fewer obligations and finally has a chance to travel. The gifts mainly went to grown children of the family to help them establish their own homes. Farm Notes The gross annual income on about 30 per cent of the farms in the United States was less than $600 in 1929. $9 Farm population increased 2,076,- 000 in the decade 1930-40. The west north-central states had a decrease of 268,000 people in the drouth years occurring during the last half of the decade. * * More than 782,000,000 baby chicks are produced annually by the com- mercial hatcheries operating in the United States, reports the U. S. de- partment of agriculture. * . - A barnful of dark Holstein cows requires more light than the same barn full of light-colored Ayrshire cows. * 0» The latest estimate on the United States late potato crop is for a pro- duction of 277,000,000 bushels, which would be 2,000,000 bushels less than the 1939 crop. Purchasing power of city consumers is better than a year ago. * A good way to utilize wasteland incident to contouring field crops, as well as terrace outlets, is to use an electric fence. As time goes on new cross fences should be built on the contour instead of straight across the slope. Patronize Bulletin Advertisers, Simple Precautions Help Pro- tect Flock’s Health. Whenever you have a bad cold you try to get lots of rest, keep warm, | perhaps take a mild laxative, and eat foods rich in vitamins, because you have found these things aid nature in throwing off the cold. It's just as possible to help a hen throw off her cold, according to Grafton Lothrop, head of the Sani- tation Department, Purina Mills. “Although no one seems to know just what causes colds in humans, research in recent years has demon- strated that colds in chickens are caused by a specific germ infection. Unfavorable surroundings such as poorly ventilated, drafty houses or exposure to cold wet weather will reduce the resistance of a flock and render it more susceptible to this infection. The need for good care, | adequate nutrition and a sanitation | program which will help prevent the | introduction of this infection is readily apparent.” Colds in chickens as a rule begin with a thin nasal discharge followed by a collection of cheesy material in the sinuses of the head and a swell- ing about the eyes. The affected bird shows a loss of appetite, falls off in production and bodyweight, and | becomes droopy. If infectious colds should break out in your flock, Lothrop suggests the following seven-point poultry sanitation program— 1. Eliminate drafts, dampness and crowding. { 2. Scrub fountains with a stiff brush daily and disinfect with - & Chlorena solution. 3. Give the birds a mild flush if it appears necessary. 4, Clean the poultry house thor- oughly and disinfect with a Cre-so-fec solution. Supply plenty of dry litter. 5. Immediately remove the sick birds and burn those which die. 6. When evidence of colds is first observed, close the house and dust the birds with Chlorena Powder until they sneeze free- ly. Repeat with light dustings daily until the birds show im- provement. 7. Keep the birds on {full feed. If feed consumption drops, feed Layena checkeys at night. To further increase feed con- | sumption it may be advisable to add to the laying mash an appetizer like Chek-R-Ton. Epiror’s Note: Chlorena, Cre-so- fec and Chek-R-Ton are handled by our local distributor for flock owners to help control the colds that may develop in their chickens.

Proper soil drainage does not rob the land of needed moisture during times of drouth, but instead it helps plants develop deep roots early in the season thus resulting in better Drouths have been no drainage programs started about 1905. In the spring of the year or during periods of excessive rainfall, fields often become saturated with mois- ture and the water table, or level of “free’’ water, comes close to the surface. The roots of most crop plants cannot live long in “free” water and they will not grow down into it, but instead, they mature while still very short and shallow and after that practically cease to grow. As a result, when later dry spells come along, evaporation takes place, the ‘free’ water sur- face drops and the topsoil dries out, leaving the shallow rooted plants “high and dry.” Poor quality and yields of crops thus result from poor drainage. Tile drainage removes only the excess or free water from the ground, it cannot drain off the cap- illary moisture that surrounds each grain of soil and is so necessary for plant growth. When the land is tile- drained, excess water is taken off early in the spring and plants de- vigorous roots that are better able to reach moisture during dry periods. That shortage of soil moisture is not caused by open drainage ditches, is proved by a study made in 1929, with state and federal agen= cies co-operating. It was found that where ditches average about eight feet deep, with two feet of water in them, no drainage effect was evident beyond 330 feet away from the ditch, and the average lowering of the moisture level by ditches a mile apart was only three inches. This has only a negligible influence. Drainage programs started in Minnesota in 1905 have not been the cause of our recent dry years. Dur- ing the 20-year period 1882 to 1901, Minnesota enjoyed an average of only one inch more rainfall per year than during the ‘‘drouth’ period of 1918 to 1937, and going still farther back, the period from 1837 to 1856 was even drier, with an average precipitation nearly two inches be- low the 1918 to 1937 level. were Terraces Can Be Built By Farm Operations Terraces now being built for ero- sion control on thousands of farms ean be successfully maintained with- out special equipment and without loss of time by planninng farming operations and cropping systems, in the opinion of E. L. Hansen, assist- ant in agricultural engineering at the University of Illinois college of agriculture. Building up the terrace ridge, rather than tearing it down, is easi- est when farming operations are parallel to the terrace. Back fur- rowing to the ridge when plowing is probably the most effective. Disk- ing also helps when the ridge is not straddled, especially with a single disk. Cultivating parallel to the ter- races eliminates the possibility of loosening the soil on top of the ridge which may result in over-topping of the terrace during a heavy rain. This often occurs when the direction of cultivation is across the terrace, since the depth is difficult to regu- late when crossing. The ridge height may be lowered several inches as a result of one crop of corn. If more maintenance is required, Hansen recommends a few rounds with a blade grader to keep ter- races wi orking efficiently Elmer Ss. “Musser, Spahr, Auct.
