MOLD REPORTED IN SILAGE
Trouble Occurs Only Where Air Is
Present, Generally Caused by Lack
of Water.
The usual number of complaints are
corning in regarding the present'«* of
mold In silage. Mold can grow only
when air is present.
Air generally
gets in ax the result of the silage lie-
Ing too dry when put Into the silo. If
waler was added, not enough was
tixetl.
Poor parking may cause the
some trouble. Mold around the doors
and against the wall is the result, of
poor construction of the silo which
allows air to enter. Nothing can be
done now to remedy the condition. At
the next lining lime sptolsl care should
be taken to see tlmt I lie corn contains
enough moisture and that It Is well
trumped. It Is nlwuys xiifcst to reject
moldy silage especially for horses and

American tree seed*, the most fa
mous ever sent from one nation to an
other. are now healing the wounds of
war in the dsvaatsied sections of the
allied eountriss. From Boston three
years ago the American Forestry «*»<>-
via I lo<> of Washington seut iiiilhoua of
tree seeds to France, Great Britain
and Belgium to take the place of their
comrades who fell in the World war.
The tine spirit with which the unique
present was received Is shown In the
report of Arthur Newton Pack of
Prtncrtmx N. J., to the American For
estry association, which cnmmlnloaed
him tn go to Euro|>e. made public by
the association following hla three
months' tour. In thia report Is the
following general order by the French
ministry:
"The plantations made from the
s.ssl presented to us by the American
Forestry assoctatlon should be located
In place«« readily accessible to the
main traveled roads and. If possible,
mi or near well-known ulte», with the
view that such future forests retua In
as a monument to the partnership ot
France und America In the errat
war."
In the British Isles, which lost the
most forest cover because It was
there rnttlng was done on a whqlesals
scale to meet liie demands of war,
the same good feeling prevails. In
Belgium, too, the work Is going for
ward, and in the mice lieaullftll Ar

left nothing standing, patches of

Here uro some of the places the
seedlings uro planted:

the l-cxt nursery showing of any

A tremendous task faces the Allied
countries and the magnitude of It Is
shown In «’owtnlasioner Pack’s rw
