improperly constructed silos will be
,unsatisfactory whatever material is
Gned. Owing to the general lack Of
knowledge regarding silo construc-
aion and especially as to the use Of
rDncrete as a material, the extension
department of the Agricultural Col
1ege offered last spring to furnish ex-
pert superintendence In the construc-
don Of cement silos during the spring
nnd early summer. During the sea-
con % Of the concrete metal-lath type
we silos first built by the United
states Department Of Agriculture
were constructed under the direction
a members Of the Extension Depart
anent. Help was also given in the
nrection Of a number Of stave silos.
Since many more silos will I'M
aoubtedly be built during the coming
gear, the satisfaction which this type
ne construction has given and their
U0gt will be Of general interest to
maany Of our farmers. The reports

ment has kept in very close touch
with the silos built under its direc-

/ have reported the silage to be In per
feet condition clear to the wall, with
the exception of few feet at the
top. The writer and others from this
department have visited number OF
them and found the gilage keeping
perfectly, with the exception OF some
spoiled filage around the outside for
few feet down. We have found this
same difficulty In practically every
sllo inspected Of whatever type OF
construction. It has been caused
mainly by lack Of proper care at the
time Of filling and will occur in any
silo where the outside is not thor
oughly tramped during the process OF
filing and especially at the top,
where the tramping should continue
around the sides as the silage set
ties.
The cost Of this type Of silo has
varied somewhat In different local.
ties, owing to the varying costs Of
labor and materials. In some places
sand was procured for the hauling
and in others 1t cost as high as $3.50
per yard in addition to hauling. The
following are the cost price Of few
giving the general range:
silos 1880 feet--One at $17S.O5;
two at y2.33.7S; three at $2S1.S1; four
at $4,000, and FIVE at $SO5.Ss.
silos 1890 feet-one at $2OS.SO;
four at an average Of about 5000, and
one at $2S1.S4. One 1884 silo was
built at cost Of S29s.52. The low
est cost Of 1sxSO silo was the one
at S17S.OI and the highest one at
S3O5.3S. The latter was constructed
where labor was extremely high and

Some Timely Advice From Prof. eadee Of the State Agricultural Col

Gasoline Torch

Chinch bugs have already and are
yet passing from ripened wheat and
oats into corn. While the heaviest
migration is in southeastern Kansas,
large numbers are passing throughout
the wheat belt.
In case the bugs are in the first
outer rows Of corn in sufficient num-
bers to threaten their destruction. the
grower should prepare good barrier
between the infested rows and the
rest Of the field, Then he should
cut the infested rows and destroy the
bugs as they attempt to cross the
barriers. The success Of this meas
ure will depend upon the age Of the

"When he came ashore there was no

shortly before she pulled out OF the
dock Keisner's confederate, who had

with his wife and daughters, who
were there to see him off, took up the
