Feeding Value of Svmfioustr
a. f f T"M.- . SL-
m 3uags &nown oy fV ExpertmenU By P. G. HOLDEN. EXPERIMENTS conducted dur lng the past three years by the Montana Agricultural College have apparently proven sunflower silage to be of high-feeding value for cattle. Individual farmers In Montana, Idaho, Colorado, California, Ohio, Michigan and Canada also report great success with sunflower silage, so that Its value is not confined to localities where conditions make the growing of corn difficult. In Montana the yield for green forage averaged about ho tons to v acre under irrigation, and from 15 J 20 tons on dry land. This was from two to three times the yield of corn. Has High Feeding Value. k The Montana Experiment Station estimates that 2JB& pounds of sun flower, silage is equal In feeding value to one pound of alfalfa hay. The report of the station says: "When alfalfa hay Is worth $12 per ton. sunflower silage is worth $424. At three and one-half tons of alfalfa to the acre an acre of alfalfa at $12 a ton would be worth $42. At 20 tons to the acre, an acre of sunflower silage,' at $4.24 a ton, would be worth $84.80." Most of the experiments to establish the feeding value of sunflower silage have been conducted in connection with dairy cattle. Farmers report that the results in milk production from sunflower silage la as great as that from corn silage. The Montana Station fed two lots of dairy cows of 10 head each. The nliTM's la lot No. 1 were fed concentrates and 26.65 pounds of alfalfa hayt Those in lot No. 2 were fed concentrates, 10.93 pounds of alfalfa hay and 4126 pounds of sunflower silage. . The average dally production of milk per cow in lot No. 1 was 29.01 pounds; in lot No. 2 it was 28.17 pounds, The average daily production of butter per cow in lot No. 1 was 1.13 pounds; in lot No. 2 It was 1.12 pounds. One dairyman at the experiment. . station, however, reports that none of his cattle relished sunflower; that some refused to eat it; that those that did eat it fell off both in milk flow and weight Excellent for Beef Cattle. The college herd of beef cattle and calves has been fed largely upon sunflower silage. The results have been very satisfactory. For growing sunflowers the soil should be well prepared and the seed plsnted late in April or early in May. A corn planter set to drill the seed is the most popular method, but a grain drill may be used by stopping up some of the cups. The seed must not be planted too thick in the row; the rows should be from 24 to SO inches apart on irrigated land and from 36 to 42 inches on dry lsnd. Half a bushel of seed to the acre Is - enough for irrigated land and half that amount for dry land. Sunflowers make the best silage when three-fourths of the seed are In the late milk or early dough state. Sunflowers are harvested the same as corn preferably with a binder. The entire plant stalk, leaves and seedsis made into silage.

GERMANS COMPARE KAISER WITH DAVIS
BERLIN, Jan. 12. Germans are urged ; to turn over former emperor William for trial by the allies in resolutions passed at a public meeting of the New Fatherland League here. In signing the treaty of Versailles, the resolutions said: "Germany consented to the trial of William II. It is therefore the duty of the German people to execute the treaty and every attempt to prevent procedure against the former kaiser must be branded as a political crime." -
One speaker declared William, with
his "eccentric mysticism," and former Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
were not responsible for the "criminal game played with Servia," and that German diplomacy was helpless in the
face of operations "by men higher up."
Herr VonGerlach, radical Democrat,
asserted the surrender of William will strengthen the reactionary wave in Germany and warned' the entente to desist carrying out treaty provisions calling for the trial of the erstwhile monarch. He advised the establish
ment of a neutral court for the trial.
adding: "The German people must definitely cut itself loose from the
man."
Lesson From Jeff Davis. President Lincoln's attitude toward
the arrest of Jefferson Davis is recall
ed by Otto Landsberg, majority Social
ist leader, discussing in Vorwaerts the probable extradition and trial of former emperor William He cites the dllema of the United States, when the
confederate leader was imprisoned and says he is convinced "it would have been better to have allowed Mr.
Davis to escape."
Herr Landsberg recommends that
entente leaders read observations on the Davis case by Carl Schurts and asserts he believes such a perusal
would bring about a different attitude
toward the former kaiser's surrender.
