A Move in The Right Direc-

A couple of our farmers have made a
move in the right direction as regards
the saving of feed. Harris and Son
and w. r. Vernon and son have each
erected Siios on their farms west of
Julesburg aud We believe by this time
next year many others will have fol-
lowed their example.
The Vernon silo is built of two inch
tongue and grooved slaves thirty two
feet long set on cement foundation.
The silo has cement bottom 2 feet
below the surface of the ground which
really makes the silo 34feet high and is
built round being sixteen feet in diam
eter and holds when filled 1877 tons.
At this time it is about half filled with
corn fodder chopped fine and wet down
with enough water to make it settle
firmly in the silo. Water is only used
for dry feed, if the corn or other feed
is put in green there is enough moisture
in the plant to make it settle. If they
can get additional feed they will fill the
sno otherwise they will have to wait
till another year. There is no question
but these silos are a great feed saver
as everything IN the feed line can be
saved and fed economically. Had their
silo been ready to be filled at the time
of the hail storm every bit of the
stalks remaining could have been used.

Here's The Proposition
Mr.. NONRESIDENT.

You own land in
in either Sedgwick or Deul Counties.
You invested in this land expecting it
to raise in price. Nothing will increase
the price of land so much and so quickly
as the established fact that it will bring
large returns on the money invested.
Here is your.
OPPORTUNITY
to show what can be done in raising
wheat.
Mr.. Durham wants to know what
you think about Wheat Raising
Boys Club" He wants to know how
many will put up $40 toward a purse
of $3.50 to be paid out in prizes for the
best acre of wheat raised in Sedgwick
or Deuel. Counties in 1912.
Let us have your answer and have it
right away. If the boys are going into
this they want to get busy. Don't
hesitate. Don't wonder if it will pay.
Don't do anything till you have mailed
either Mr.. Dunham Or myself check
for $40 toward this fund.
Do 1t To-Day.
Do 1t Now.
Mr.. Dunham will do his part will you
do yours?
Let US here from you by retnrn mall.
Yours truly

Home From State Fair

H. H. Smelser and wife who had
Charge of the exhibit of Sedpwick
County arrived home from the State
Fair on Monday afternoon. They are
very much pleased as every resident of
Sedgwick County should be on the re-
suits of this exhibit and the good the same
is bound to do the County.
Out of 40 entries made by Mr.. Smel.
ser Sedgwick County received % first
premiums and three of these were
sweepstakes.
We received 8 second premiums and
three third premiums and the exhibit as
whole received third place of all the
agricultural displays. Among the
first premiums was Nathan Spells
potatoes and Frank Deichs sugar beets.
At q Banquet of the State Realty
men to which Mr.. and Mrs. Smelser
received an invitation Edward Keatinp
President af the State Board of Land
Commissioners spoke in very high terms
of Sedgwick County's Demonstration
Farm and hoped that every county in
the state would have such farm and
that he was in favor of the State donat-
ing to every county half section of
land for such farms.
While our exhibit only cost few
hundred dollars and there were exhibits
which cost into the thousands Mr..
Smelser in arranging same end being a

ting attention that no other exhibitor re-.
ceived.

1t does notpay to devote high priced
land for long periods to pasturage and
the production of hay. The land can be
put to more profitable use such is the
testimony of George P. Grout, the
dairy expert of Minnesota.
During the last few years more silos
have been built than have previously
been constructed altogether The more
prosperous farmers are often supplied
with two good silos.
The silo. Professor "Grout asserts,
practically increased the producing ca
pacity of the farm at least 10 per cent
and often more. A 100 acre farm
with silo will produce as much rev.
enue as one of lS0 acres without.
The first cost of silo, like that of
dwelling house, a barn or a team,
should be considered part of the initial
investment, and if ones capital is
limitedit is better to buy farm small
ler by 10 per cent rather than dis
pense with a silo. The producing
value of silo on fifty dollar land
would be equal to that of twenty acres
added to the 160 acre farm, or $1,000.
On 500 land 1t would be $1,000. This
is a low estimate, for the stock carry
ing capacity of the farm will often be
increased fully 25 per cent by the ad-
dition of silo.

Sedgwick Countys Exhibit q
The State Fair


The following telegram was received
by the board of County Commissioners,
The Commercial Club and DR.. Rook
Chairman of Dry Farming Congress in
regard to the SedgwickC County Exhibit
at the State Fair.
Colorado Springs. Colo. Seps COLL.
C. W. Rook
Julesburg, Colo.
Want to compliment Sedgwick county
on artistic and complete dry farming
exhibit at State Fair visited by me to-
day, it would be splendid publicity for
Sedgwick county to use this exhibit at
dry farming congress great loss to your
farmers if exhibits not brought here,
Smelser says no money available to buy
space, not necessary to buy space, ex
hibit can be entered in individual classes
regular competition exposition commit
tee would not allow Sedgwick county
organized exploration unless appropria-
ton made to expense fund but will
donate all space necessary for entire
exhibit if entered individual classes
please secure quick action authorizing
Smelser to pack and ship exhibit here
from Pueblo.
John T. Burns,
County Commissioner Dye was in at
tendance at the Fair and made the
necessary arrangement to have this
exhibit transferred to Colorado Springs
for the Dry Farming Congress which
opens on October 10th. Where thous-
of people will again have an opportunity
to see what Sedgwick County can
raise.
Also the following is what The
Pueblo State Journal has of our ex-
hibit.
There is no question but this kind of
advertising pays and there are many
people who know of Sedgwick County
who never heard of it before.
The Sedgwiek county exhibits in
charge of H. H. SmeIser, young man
whohas won many premiums throughout
the county at various fairs. This is
Sedgwick County's first showing at the
State Fair and it is a credit to that
rich country. The exhibit occupies SO
feet of space in the west wing of the
state building and includes vegetables,
grains. grasses, potatoes and fruit,
Also Sedgwick county has the unique
distinction of showing the only stalk of
cotton to be seen at the fair. The
stalk contains good average produc-
tion of bolls, blossoms and squares and
indicates that it might have been one
of crop yielding bale to the acre
if there had been a little longer time
for the cotton to mature. 1t was grown
merely as curiosity, and Sedgwick
county does not claim to be able to
rival the south in the production of
cotton. But the county dose claim
consideration for other reasons. There
is bunch of blue joint wild grass, six
feet and three inches tall, in the exhibit.
There are well-formed Irish potatoes,
magnificent vegetables and fruits.
The Sedgwick county farmer boy who
travel over the fair grounds playing the
"rube" is one of the funny features
of the fair. The part is taken by
young Sedgwick covntyfarmer who
is student at the state university.

ter the contest with at least two handicaps:
The fact that it was only back in 1900 that
she had the honor of entertaining a republican
national conyention-the gathering that nomin-
ated Mckinley for the second time and made
Roosevelt his running mate at the dictation of
the Honorable Mark Hanna and the Honor
able Tom" Plat for the purpose of putting
that fellow the shelf where he couldn't
bother the party leaders any more and, second
the geographical disadvantage OF a seaboard
location-for to the great bulk of national con-
vention delegates Philadelphia is just as .incon-
venient point San Francisco or Seattle
would be. New York, Boston and Baltimore
are under the same handicap always. Geogra-
phically, Chicago is the ideal convention city
but her competitors always insist that she has
much more than her share of these hOnors al
ready. st. Louis has been abundantly honored
by both parties in this particular Is there no
southern city not on the Atlantic seaboard that
can raise the required cash and assure ample
hotel and other accommodations and thus
equipped, enter the contest for this 1912 re-
publican national convention? The national
committee will meet in Washington probably in
late December or early January to make the
choice, Is not the time about ripe for the re.

TRULY THE NATIONAL GAME.

the millions of people who read daily
papers IN this country large proportion turn
to the sporting page. Their first glance is at the
percentage columns Which clubs in the several
leagues are to win pennants? That is the first
question
There are more important themes There is
reciprocity for instance. There is occasional
mention of schedule X !" A peace pact of great
powers has been assigned. a hero of Japan is
the nations guest. Progress is being made on
the Panama canal. Each of these receives atten-
ton later The heart of the public does not beat
much faster in reading of them
All this is good sign The average citizen
thinks affairs OF state will take care of them
selves and why fret about them? Not all of
them immediate and pressing, anyhow. and
the league season is in full swing Truly royal
battles are being wager in the majors and the
minors. Each admirer of the game has his ia
vorlte club, and his pet players. Enthusiasm
never wanes in discussion of their prowess and
their chances. Baseball is safety valve. The
fevor it arouses is harmless
In the National league the struggle is close
ana exciting. The victory is surmise yet. In
the American league Philadelphia and Detroit
seem likely to be the final contestants. In the
Pacific Coast league Los Angeles remains in the
cellar, and yet from that lOwly station admin
listers now and again beating to the leaders
Vernon and Portland are in neck-and-neck
struggle for the leadership.
Baseball at its best is fine, clean sport We
might as well admit that we all like it. It is
healthful both to the player and sndried bleach
erlte 1t engages the talent of decent and pro-
fclent performers. Many of them now are men
of university training. The head of the Pacific
Coast league is a superior court judge The
manager of one Of the teams is a former member
OF congress. The game has risen in dignity in
recent years If those who are in charge of it's
professional destiny worthy of their trust
its popularity will steadily increase

WHY NOT SAN FRANCISCO?

In Philadelphia movement has just been
started to bring there the republican national
convention of 1912 The Allied Republican clubs
of that city have secured the cooperation of
Mayor Reyburn and have assured him that they
will raise allor nearly all--the money that will
be necessary to defray the expenses of the con-
yention. BY rather peculiar process of devel-
opment in party practice, both republican and
democratic, 1t has III recent years come to be
understood that no city can hope to get ma
tional convention unless it first shows cash
enough to meet every dollar of expense to be
incurred by the national committee-with
stable amount in excess to meet any possible
emergency; if more than one city satisfies the
committee on the cash show down" then the
question of availability, practicability and party
expediency becomes open one between them.
Philadelphia will have no "walk over'' in this
matter, it may safely be assumed She will en-
