Large Number SilOs
Erected This Year

OF the largest dairymen In the
county feed their cows altogether
on ensllage and they are making
record in milk production and
the COWS are all in fine shape.
Farmers are beginning to appre-
ciate generally the great benefit
from sIlos, and the encouraging part
Of the whole story is that many
have been planned for next year.
In every part Of the county the
farmers are silo bugs" and no
home is considered complete with
out one. wherever they have been
tried, there is satisfaction, and
farmers are getting gratifying re-
suits from feeding ensilage. The
cost of a silo is so slight, compared
10 the large returns, that general
building fest is predicted for next
year. Concrete seems to the fav-
orite material for the tank-like
structure, though some farmers use
stone. and others buy them manu-
factured from various materials.

Don't wait until Fpring to select
your corn and sorghum seed. II
would be difficult to estimate how
many bushels Of poor corn and sor-
xhnm, esed have hssn planted in
Kansas, never to germinate. Why
not feed this poor grain TO hogs
and cattle, and plant good seed;
seed that has been tested? A few
grains from an ear Of corn or a
head of s0rphum will prove the
character Of the whole. Enough
poor seed of these two plants was
used in Kansas last spring to fat
ten a thousand steers, and yet the
seed corn conditions in Kansas were
better than in any other western
state. In, probably, five thousand
rural schools and four hundred high
schools in Kansas corn was tested
last spring for farmers. In thous-
ands OF farm homes, last March
and April, there were terminating
boxes in which the seed was tested.
and the fine corn and sorghum crop
of 1912 proves that the effort paid.
