CORN NOT DAMAGED; PRICES DECLINE CHICAGO. Sept. 28. Material declines took place In the corn market today. Influenced chiefly by absences of signs that theye had been any serious damage from .frost. Peace gossip was also a bearish factor. In addition, disfavor which talk of removing the maximum price limit has encountered had a further tendency to weaken the market. Opening prices, which ranged from c to lVfcc lower at $1.18 to Jl.mi December and f 1.164 to $1,161 May, were followed by a modprat increased setrr "'.-.!.! duplicated a. Aon of corn.

WTO TURN OH ALL TUB HIM To Greece Again Takes of Its ATHENS, Sept 28. (Correspondence of The Associated Prese) -The Greek flag has again been raised over the Greek navy, Greek officers and crews are aboard, and the navy has resumed Its independent status after a year of merger with the Entente fleets. This applies to the twenty-two warships of the light squadron, consisting of destroyers, gunboats and light cruisers, and also to the battleships, chief of which are the Lemnos and Kilkish, formerly the battleships Idaho and Mississippi. This change back to Greek control Is one of the results of the recent Balkan conference at Paris, when the allied military and naval activities were confined to the Salonikl region, while the new Venizelos regime was strengthened . by entrusting to it the military and naval control of lower Greece. The Entente troops were rapidly withdrawn from all these southern sections, and at the same time the Entente crews turned over the warships to their Greek commanders. Joined Allied Fleet It was last October that ex-King Constantino's military and naval activities were considered by the Entente allies as Buch a menace in the rear of their Salonikl expedition that allied conrol should be applied. On the light squadron there was a change of flags and crews, and the ships went to Salonikl where they joined the allied squadron. The battleships Lemnos and Kilkish remained at the arsenal near here, but had some of the vital parts removed so as to render them incapable of doing any dam
HAVE A SILO FILL AND REFILL IT
By P. G. HOLDEN. N EXERTING our efforts to conserve our food supply, we must not ove look the great opportunity to consrve by the use of the silo. With the result of the war depending largely upon our ability U feed ourselves and to help feed our allies, it is highly important that every bit of our corn crop be converted, In one way or another, Into human food. In so way than by the use of the silo can all our fodder and all out roughage be turned Into beef, pork, mutton, and dairy products without waste,
Corn left exposed to the weather loses from 25 to 50 per cent of its feeding value. Corn silage Is better feed than corn fodder. There Is littl loss In feeding silage, but when fodder is fed, cattle refuse to eat the stalks
and there is great loss. An acre of than It can be husked and shredded. crops, properly siloed, make good feed. Not only should every farm have a
to its fullest capacity during the entire winter, enough stock being fed to consume every pound of silage.
Silos Should Be Refilled. Experiments made by the University of Minnesota have proven that
tilos may be refilled with most successful results. Similar experiments have

a dry condition. About 85 acres of corn fodder was reserved for ensilage. A 45-ton pit Hlo was filled four times and about 200 bushels of corn for seed was busked out of this before the fodder was harvested. The first severe frost came on September 21, killing the corn when It was lust at the roasting ear stage. Two days later the work of cutting It with a corn binder was begun. Twenty acres, from which to gather seed corn, was left standing. This was harvested during the latfr part of October. How Silo Was Refilled. The fodder was shocked In the field so that It would dry out and not heatjifter stacking. The stacking was begun cn November 10. The silo was filled the first time on October 28. This stlage was all fed out and the silo was refilled on December 18. This silage also was fed out ind the silo again filled on January 25. On March 2, the silo was filled for the fourth time. As the first filling was Eve weeks after the cutting of the com was begun.
the fodder was quite dry. Enough water was run into the silo along with the
rut roaaer to replace the moisture that
It was found that the best way to get the water mixed with the fodder was to pipe It up to the top of the distributing pipe and let It flow into th distributor
where the force of. the sir frota th"e blower mixed it thoroughly.
If we would conserve our crops and torn waste Into human food as well is Into profit, we must have one or more silos and fill them as often as
possible.
In Montana and some other Western states, where the past summer was unusually dry, farmers who have no silos are selling all their live stock be ause of lack of feed 'for them. Kad they had silos they could have filled :hem with cactus, Lf they had nothing better, and saved stock that It will take
hem many years to rcsl&ce. ,

WELL VTOP CPfMNi? Control Fleet, After Year age by the government then In control. A crowd of several thousapd Greek officers and their partfzans gathered In front of the American Legation at the time, trying; to have the American minister intervene, which he sternly refused to do as being a matter entirely outside his function. The American authorities are satisfied this demonstration was planned by the then existing government for political effect, to create the Impression that American sympathy was against the Entente allies. It failed of that effect, and thereafter the delegations of agitators had to bear a request from the Ministry of the Foreign Affairs before being received at the American legation. Now that the navy Is again In Greek hands there is prospect that the light squadron may play a considerable role against the submarine activities of Central Powers in the eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean. It Is said that more losses have occurred in this section than in any field of submarine activity, but chiefly in coasting vessels. The Greek naval patrol Is very active, not only agalns the submarines but in seeking out the many bases where they hide among . the islands and take on their supplies of gasoline and food. A school to teaoh women to become car conductors is to be established In New York under the auspices of the Women's Section of the Navy League. Trieste, In Austria, is a center of the meerschaum pipe industry. corn can be put into a ello at less cost Oats straw and most of the forag silo, bnt every silo should be worked been , made on the Harvester Company'! demonstration farm at Aberdeen, S.

On the demonstration farm at Aberdeen, the 1915 corn crop failed to maturs and was caught bj the frost It wai brought in and stacked.
