township, is building 100 ton silo.
This is, we believe the first silo to be
built in Decatur county, but in the

they are feature on the farm of every
up-to-date farmer. The corn is cut
green and placed in the silo, being cut
up fine and it is said to make the finest

proves success number of our farm
ers will probably follow Mr.. Durell's
example and erect silos.
