Favorable Time 10 Boy a Farm

Do you realize that now is an advan-
tageous time in which TO buy a farm2
Governor w. ID. Hoard tells why, thus:
''This has been the strang sst season in
some respects we ever witnessed. Here
we have had the least precipitation of
moisture since spring known for years,
the most intense and protracted heat
on record, with rate of evaporation
from the earth for two months without
parallel and yet the corn crop in this
section of Wisconsin, at least, bids fair
to make decent crop where the culti-
vator has been kept going. Three
crops have suffered exceedingly. They
are tobacco, pasture grass and potatoes.
Constant cultivation viii help the latter
considerably but nothing but rain and
lots of it viii bring up the pastures.
This hes been a grand season 10 buy

whether the food elements are in the
soil in abundance or not. Any sort of
soil, almost, will yield fair crop with
plenty Of moisture, but it take; soil

sILoS ARE BADLY NEEDED
Drought Has No Horrors For Farmers
With Silage,

Professors G. G. Humphrey and F.
w. Vol of the Agricultural college of
the University of Wisconsin have been
investigating the matter of means of
protecting the dairY and stock farmers
during seasons OF drought. They have
arrived AZ th1 e2 nUsion that silaa and
silage are the salvation of cattle rails
ers in seasons like the present one.
There is no doubt but silos are badly
needed in Juneau and Adams counties,
especially when seasons like this and
last year are encountered. Never is it
so dry that silage of some kind cannot
be raised. In southern Wisconsin, the
heart of the dairy district, every well
regulated farm has one or more silos.
A farmer in that section would consider
it absolutely foolish to raise cattle
without silage, and yet they are in a
better position to raise tame hay than
in this section of the state. The
CENSOR believes that it would be the
best investment our farmers could
make building silo-and after the
first years trial they would never care
TO go back to the old way. We hope
that before another season passes every
farmer that can possibly do so will
erect a silo and prepare himself for
hay and feed shortage. Silos are now
found scattered in nearly every county
in the state and a farmer viii not have
to travel far to see one and get person
al advice as to the building Of silos and
the feeding of silage. Unless he al
ready has one he had better prepare to
build before another crop is harvested.

ROUND AND ABOUT US

On account of the prolonged drought
the officers of the Adams County Agri-
cultural society have decided to aband-
on the project of holding county fair
this season. The officers feel that moth
ing worth while could be shown in an
agricultural way and the holding of a
fair would give the society serious
financial loss if undertaken.
