This is an inspirational'week to attend on the U. of I campus. It's all wrong though. It costs thousands of dollars to put it on, with all the talent and preparation. These are tax dollars being spent and, who in the main, goes? A large majority are retired or semi-retired farmers going for £ weeks vacation. The young active farmers who need the information and inspiration, can't get away because they are too busy or at least claim to be. Another observation I made the other night while attending the longtime farm account keepers banquet, was, as I looked over the list of those from a county with which I was familiar, that the farmers who had kept accounts for over 20 years, frere all the leading well to do armers in that county. Now the question is--were these farmers successful because they kept farm accounts or did they keep farm accounts because they were successful? I'm sure the latter is true. I'm sure' there is a much larger percent of farmers keeping books on successful enterprizes than there are on unsuccessful ones. The husband of a high school friend of mine is a chemist and during the war he helped perfect 2-4-D. They were going to use it to spray the Japanese rice paddies by airplane and in that way effect starvation. Hay silage seems to be getting a boost again. Information I. picked up this past week at the College conjfirms such to be wise. With milk {production for field cured hay* figured .as 100%, barn cured hay figures 108% and hay silage figures 112%. In other words, the same hay will produce 12% more milk when put in the silo than when field cured. Now the next consideration is, which involves the most labor? They recommend molasses for all hay silage--40 pounds per ton for grasses mixed legume, and grasses 60 pounds, straight legume hay, 80 pounds, and 100 pounds for soybeans. Silage made from red clover contains three times the protein that corn silage does. Mrs. Sayre of Iowa, head of the womans group of the American Farm BEG YOUR PARDON Bureau Federation, who recently .
