BETHANY NJ. P. CHURCH.
Congregational Meeting Last Night.
Nearly all Members Vote to
Maintain Church.

There was a congregational meeting
OF Bethany Independent Methodist
Protestant Church last night which
was largely attended and considerable
interest manifested. It had been init
mated that the officers of the church
contemplated disbanding the congrega-
ton by reason OF the lack OF interest
manifested by many OF the members.
The ATTENDANCE on the services have
not been satisfactory to the officers,
and the suggestion OF disbanding has
been entertained, although every effort
was to have been made to avoid such
procedure. The report had been
noised among the members OF the
church, and there was large turnout
last night in consequence. The ap-
peals of the multitude to continue the
services we're irresistible aud the con-
gregation voted with one accord tc
maintain the church, all present obi.
eating themselves not to forsake the
assembling of themselves together il
the future.

TEXAS cotton
GOES TO RUSSIA

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. "a
That Texas cotton goes to all parts Of

Just received by August Carlson, a

Mr.. Carlson placed letter in a bale
from his farm near Georgetown, Tex.
last year asking the manufacturer to
whom the cotton was sold to write
him telling the price paid for the
bale and the date of its receipt at the
factory. Mr.. Carlson is in receipt
Of a letter from T. T. Skvorcov, Ser
eda, Russia, under date of May 18th,
1911. The writer says the bale was
bought at forty cents pound, the
highest price paid in Russia for cot
ton Of the 1910 crop. The writer goes
into some detail relative to the man
ner in which the bale was packed and
suggests that more care be taken In
this country in preparing bales for
shipment. The writer declares that
the bales which reach Russia from
America are always in bad condition

FACTS FOR THE farmers
IN REGARD TO THE S|LO
STATE DAIRY COMMISSIONER F. FLINT GIVES THE RESULTS
INVESTIGATIONS MERITS
NORTH DAKOTA

The silo is fast coming into popular
ity in North Dakota. After one has
talked with the different farmers who
have had sllos for a number Of years,
grown corn and fed silage, he must
become convinced that they should
become popular.
Here are some of their expressions:
"The COWS we milk give as much
milk in the winter, when fed silage,
as they do in the summer in the best
pasture"
Il consider it the very best feed
for such cows, as we'll as beef cattle"
1.-THE advantage of silage over
other feed, is, first, 1t is the cheapest
that can be produced on the farm;
second, more can be raised per acre;
and third, in effect it is pasture in
the winter"
There is no way one can harvest
and store the corn so cheaply as in
putting it in q silo. When the corn
plant is at its best, full Of strength,
before the plant food has gone to the
kernels, before the wind has whipped
the blades from the stock. cut it and
put it in the silo and you have one OF
the best, most succulent foods for all
kinds of stock that can be produced.
There is no loss whatever.
"Our worst drawback In raising
corn in this northern country Is the
early frost and because OF our early
fall the corn fodder Is seldom fit to
stack" T. silo overcomes the DIM
Guilty because frosted corn makes
good silage. Corn is one OF the most
profitable crops we can grow. Prop
erly cultivated, it eradicates weeds,
conserves moisture in the soil, in
creases the stock as we'll as the grain
capacity Of the farm"
1--WE get from one-third to one
fourth more bushels per acre OF wheat
following a corn crop than where our
wheat follows small grain
The above are only a few OF many
similar statements made and l have
yet to hear + an owner OF silo or
feeder of ensilage In North Dakota
who has given an adverse report. 1t
ls true that there are not many silos
in the state. So far as / could learn
there we're approxira' ely twenty last
year. It is possible, however, that
there might be more.
There are good reasons why the
silo and silage should come into gen
eral use throughout tie state. Lack
ing in any considerable acreage OF
tame grass pasture, and our native
grass staying green so brief portion
of the year the p, oviding OF succu-
lent silage to supplement the pasture
and dry feed that necessarily Is fed
for several months Is highly desirable
in order to keep stock in q thrifty con-
dition. The silo is the container In
which this food can be kept, and, as
stated in quotation above, the silage,
in effect is pasture In the winter.
Then too, many discouraging exper-
fences Of last season and this has
proven beyond q question Of doubt
that fairly good yields Of fodder corn
can be grown during the seasons when
small grains and hay may be largely
a failure. Conr, therefore, affords q
reasonably safe forage crop for even
If frosted it will still make silage.
There will of course, be more nutri'
ment per ton In corn that 10 more
nearly matured than II It IL necessary
to cut it early. II these were the only

reasons. why the silo should become
popular, to my mind they would be
sufficient, but so many farmers in
North Dakota lack first hand exper-
fence with silos and silage it is but
natural that they hesitated to build
one. The expressed fear of the sill
age freezing, or sil0s blowing down,
of not being able to secure sufficient
corn to fill one, or time If they do
raise the corn. They apparently do
not consider that a hundred tons of
silage in the silo will, in most cases,
require less time than moving over
sufficient prairie to secure an equal
| tonnage of hay. They forget or do
not know that North Dakota has had
what the owner, C. w. Andrews,
: Walhalla, Pembina county claims is
, the farthest north silo in the United
States and that there are many still
farther north in Canada and that they
: are success. They may not realize

that it becomes so compact in the silo
that it also heats considerably in the
settling and therefore does not freeze

ly expect. When asked about finding
time to fill his silo, John Donnelly
said: 1T does cause some uneasiness
at times but we have managed to get
1t filled all right since we have had
it." And for that matter does not our
grain harvest, tie potato digging and
all other farming operations cause
some uneasiness at times but when
we haven't crop to harvest, or a
shortage of pasture for the stock
there is greater uneasines3.
When we have become convinced of
the good qualities of the silo and build
more permanently of concrete, stone,
or brick, the fear of blowing down will
disappear. With light silos there will
be more or less danger.
