THE FIRST SILO
IN CAMERON COUNTY
Successful Experiment at South Tex
as Gardens Of Much Importance to
Valley Farmers-0ther New Work

There is no reason why South Tex
as should not become one of the
large dairy sections Of the United
States.
The first silo experiment ever I'M
derta<en in the lower Rio Grande
Valley is now in progress at the
South Texas Gardens, and its TWEEN
ty-five ton capacity is being filled
with shumac sorghum for feeding
experiment purposes, in connection
with cactus.
The silo itself is a cheap wooden
affair built in round form about
thirty feet in height. On one side is
a covered chute containing a ladder
way. This chute is provided with
doors at intervals from bottom to
top. so that the ensilage can be
pitched directly into the chute no
matter what the stage in height the
ensilage may be in the silo.
The green fodder is brought to the
silo and unloaded on the ground. 1t
is then pi-ched into a cutter which
is driven by a Is II. p. gasolene
traction engine. The cutter has a
powerful fan attachment, and the
chopped fodder is blown into the
silo from the top through a zinc tube
leading from the fan. When the silo
Is filled. ii will he covered wi-h a
wooden roof. somewhat on the order
of a cistern covering.
The real value Of this experiment
in feeding ensilage will not be
known until April or May of 1913.
However, it Is more than probable
hat the test will prove Of great
benefit to rhe farmers in this sec
ton. The experimenting Is being
conducted BY Mr.. TurnerA who Is in
charge Of the dairy experiments now

This was because the Maxwell "Mascotte' is
