4 sILO IN THE FIELD FOR SUMNER FEED
can be stored per cubic foot A silO
should not be less than thirty feet deep
nor more than twelve or fourteen In d.
ameter.
For a herd Of twenty-five cows q
round silo fifteen feet inside diameter
and thirty feet high would be about
right. or it may he II by 40 This size
will hold little more than a hundred
tons, which allows four tons of silage
per COW, which is about right.
Importance Of SiIage.
The kind of corn to grow for filing
the silo will depend on the locality
To avoid frost early maturing varieties
should be selected.
When to cut is an important question.
Better to have the corn little over
ripe than on the green side
One may begin feeding as soon after
the silo is filled as is desired. Good
silage has not unpleasant acid smell,
slightly swedish. fermented taste
and should be brownish green color
and free from rot or mold
If portion of the silage around the
silo becomes frozen it is more of an in
convenience than loss. 1t should be
mixed with that from the center Of the
silO to allow it to thaw before being
fed.
An acre Of ground should produce
from twelve to fifteen tons of silage
in a good season. The cost from the
filling of the soil for the seed to the
lime the corn is in the silo is estimated
ut from 50 to $3.50 per ton.
The Importance of silage as a succu-
lent. coarse food for all kinds of cattle
cannot be overestimated Next to corn
clover is considered the best crop to
use for silage.
Alfalfa is being used for silage with
equal success. being still richer than
clover in protein.
COwI~'as, soy beans. sorghum and
various other plants are successfully
used to fill the silO.

WILSON NOT THE ONLY


The Columbia State in its. disap-
pointment over this State not in
structing for Wilson, is manifestly
unfair to other prominent candidates
for the Democratic nomination. 1t
speaks of. Wilson as if he were the
only progressive candidate in the
field.
If the present Democratic Congress
is anything, it is progressive. twas
on progressive legislation that it
turned the Republican majority and
took control of the lower house, and
Underwood is the leader of that
house, in fact as well as in NAME.
More than once, it has been demon
strated that the Speaker is powerless
without the aid of his influence. If
Underwood is not progressive then
the Democratic party is not progress
sive.
Again if any man thinks that Har-
mon is not progressive when he has
twice carried a tariff reform State
that gives normally one hundred and
fifty Thousand Republican majority
and the last time he carried it Demo-
cratic by one hundred thousand ma
iority, he is badly mistaken. Har-
mon today can carry Ohio by over
$4,000 majority over any candidate
for the presidency, in the field, Re-
publican or Democratic. Harmon
and Underwood are both progressive,
Wilson is more than progressive, he
is radical.
The idea Of censuring Underwood
for voting for a direct ballot for
United States senator's, is absurd.
He cast his vote strictly in accor-
dance with the mandate of the last
National Democratic platform decla-
ration, and the measure was sup
ported almost solidly by the Demo-
crafts i'm the house. 1t is true that
the bill was not all that the Demo-
Gratis desired, but it was a step to-
ward Kidding the Senate of members
named by corporate interests. While
we have the primary to all intents
and purposes there are still but few
States that have, and any measure
electing Senators by ballot is prefer
able to the present system that is
controlled by the money powers.

The Jewel of Consistency.

Easley Progress.
1t is real funny to read in the An
derson Intelligencer the account OF
the Anderson county convention con-
demning the action of Gen. M. l..
Bonham and accusing him of making
a slate so that all or very near all
Jones men would be sent as delegates
to the State convention. Then to
take up one of the Newberry papers
and note how The Intelligencer's
friend, Gov. C. L. Blease, used very
near the very same tactics in elect
ing the Newberry delegates to the
State convention, the only differ
ence being that Gen. Bonham was
elected by his own club to the county
convention and Governor Blease,
after being turned down by his home
club, slipped over to n of the cotton
mill clubs and was elected from that;
and the further difference that the
Blease crowd at Newberry did not al
low one Jones man to get on the DEL
egation, while the Anderson conven-
ton did allow one or two Blease men
to be placed on the delegation. Con-
sistency is a rare jewel, indeed. with
some people.

PRESIDENTIAL FORECAST.

The fate of both Taft and Roose-
welt hang on the result of Ohio.
There is every probability now that
Ohio Wills go for Taft. Taft then will
secure the Republican nomination
unless Roosevelt stampedes the
Southern delegates.
IfTaft is nominated, there is strong
indication that Roosevelt will cry
foul play, bolt the party, andrun as an
independent. If he should run as an
independent he will take with him
the progressive wing of his party,
that is the ultra progressive, while
Taft will get the conservative wing
and those progressive voters who
will not break party allegiance.
While there are not enough Demo-
cratic votes in the United States to
elect a president there are sufficient to
give 9 Democrat a plurality with an
independent SO strong as Roosevelt
in the field. In such a condition the
election of president will devolve on
the National House of Representa-
tives, and it is now and will likely
then be Democratic.
If Taft is nominated and ROose-
welt does not bolt, the party breach
has been made 50 wide that
union at the polls is next to impossi-
bic. Against Taft, Wilson would be
the more formidable candidate and
would almost surely win. Against
Roosevelt, Underwood would be the
stronger candidate. Roosevelt has
forced himself on the tariff reform
wing of his party, but the reformers
have little or no confidence in his
purpose to reform the tariff, and the
old line Republicans would rather see
any Democrat president. They know
that Underwood will surely bring
about tariff reforms but he will do it
with that scientific knowledge and
honesty of purpose that will not de-
stroy or seriously cripple the manu-
featuring interests. Taken all in all
the Democrats have more than all
even chance in this good year, and
for this they may thank the Colonel
in large measure.
The Republican National Conven-
ton is not governed by a two-thirds
majority, and as there will be so
many instructed delegates for each
of the present candidates, there is
little room for a dark horse in the Re-
publican camp. There is just the
bare possibility that neither Wilson,
Underwood or Clark will be nomi-
mated. If they hold their adherents
with stu%bbornness, a compromise
man such as Harmon of Ohio or
Kern of Indiana may step in. Either

Did You Know That

Atlanta Georian.
If a. man ever thinks seriously OF
marriage it is after taking a hand IN
the game.
1t is seldom necessary for a man
who is as regular as clock work to
live on tick.
The old hat on a woman's head
hasn't the slightest resemblance to
the new one she has on her mind.
At the age of 16 a girls idea OF a
hero is a youth who couldn't earn
$40 a month as a cigarette drummer,
1t is possible for IL woman to pass
another on the street without seeing
her, but she cant pass a mllllner S
window without looking in.

WHO?

The following from the Chester
Lantern is Sc full Of sound doctrine
and so pertinent to local conditions
that it is reproduced in these COL
umns
II a manufacturer in New York should
take a look at the map, and decide that, by
by reason Of climate and railroad facili-
ties, Chester wac about the right point for
locating, who would answer his letter with
n authority and see that Chester got
that factory? Who would present the
city's claim to lower rates, at an under
writer's meeting2 Who, In the closing
hours Of q convention, would propose
Chester as the next convention city ?" II
the railroad schedules are unfair to the
town merchants, who has time to take up
the matter effectively with the roads, II
railroad shops burn, what organization
has the machinery and the commercial
backing to prevent some more active COM
munity from securing the new shops?
These pertinent questions should
have but one answer. 1t should be
the business of the local chamber Of
commerce or board of trade to han
die matters lof this kind. In this
day of hustle no town which expects
to keep pace with her sister fmunici.
palities can afford to neglect the Or
ganizatiOn and support Of a live and
aggressive board of trade, which is
constantly on the lookout for its in
terests.
1t is a mistake to hope too much of
outsiders. The home people must
first show their own confidence in
their community and then make
known their peculiar advantages to
others. This desired publicity can
best be accomplished by a board of
trade.
The town of Abbeville has now
about 600 horsepower of electrical
energy which, during the daytime, is
of practically no service to the COM
munity but, harnessed to the wheels
of industry, it would drive the ma
chinery for more than one industry,
disbursing weekly payrolls to flow
into the arteries of trade, infusing
new life into the business of every
local concern. The city authorities
would no doubt be glad to have this
energy employed, even at a purely
nominal rental, but how is the out
side world to become aware of this L?
An active board of trade, manned
by a progressive set of men, would
take up matters of this kind, and in
stead Of hiding our light under a
bushel would see to it that the re-
sources and advantages of the COM
munity were kept before the public
in the most attractive manner.
Abbeville already has such an Or
ganization and it should not be al
lowed to die of inanition, but should
be encouraged and fostered by all
who have the material interests of
the community at heart. What are
we going to do about it?

"DRAWING THE LINES"
IN LAURENS COUNTY.
What u Laurens Newspaper Has to
Say About Resolution Adopted at
County Convention.

County Convention.
Laurensville Herald.
In the COMETS now being waged be-
tween the friends of Governor Cole l..
Blease and Judge Ira B. Jones for the
governorship Of South Carolina, the
editors of The Herald have not felt
called upon to advocate either candi-
date. 1t has been u purpose and
our policy to try to give to our read
ers all the information which we
could gather as to the qualifications
and fitness Of each candidate. Be-
You'd this We have not cared to 60.
1t. is not the purpose of this paper
now to advocate the election Of either
candidate, but in view Of the resolu-
ton passed by the county convention
last Monday We feel called upon
to state our position in regard to a
matter which we consider of the ut
most importance. Among other
things, the resolution provided as fol-
lows:
THAT is is the sense of this
convention that every candidate
for the legislature and senate de-
clare themselves for or against
Cole l.. Blease for governor, the
peculiar political conditions max
ing this step necessary in order
that the people may know for
whom they are voting-whether
for a friend or an open enemy.
It surely cannot be that in this
land of free government, freedom OF
speech and freedom of conscience that
a person is to be prohibited from
public office because he is unwilling
to become the personal supporter OF
the candidacy of any individual. We
can not endorse this part of the reso-
luton for the reason that it is un-
sound both in policy and in principle.
If we are to send representatives
to the general assembly to vote n
act as the governor, whoever he may
be, may suggest, then why send them
at all? Why amend the constitution
Of the State so as to provide that any
county may send it's proxy to the gov
ernor and allow him to cast the vote
for the county on all measures pend
ing in the general assembly? When
carried to it's logical conclusion, this
Is what the resolution referred to
means.
Unless we mistake the temper and
sentiment of the people of Laurens
county, they will not subscribe to this
proposition. 1t is the privilege OF
every man to vote for or against Gov
ernor Blease. We do not criticize
him for exercising this privilege, but
when it is undertaken to compel 9TH
ers to support him or to become po-
~litically %ostracised it seems to US that
the matter is being carried beyond all
reason and against every principle OF
free and representative government.
It is against one of the greatest prin-
ciples of all republican forms OF gov
eminent, to wit: That the executive,
legislative and judicial departments
shall forever remain separate and
distinct and each be independent OF
the others.
