The death of Mr.. Waggoner
has cast a gloom over a VIDE
c;r"' r. friends in all walks OF
The ia.neral services took
riace at 10 o'clock Wednesday at
the Methodist church, OF which
deceased had been a member
since youth, and at his death
being 4 leading steward. The
-. 9. W., Of which order Mr..
@aggoner vas q prominent men,
Dr conducted the corpse from
the church to the cemetery on
the hill where their services
were held.
MIR. Thomas J. Waggoner was
born in Catahoula parish on
January %, 1858, and removed
to Columbia when about l6 years
of age. He accepted a clerkship
with the late J. B. Rutland in the
wear 1882. After the death of
Mr.. Rutland he became associat-
ed in the business, which has
since been conducted under the
firm name of NJ. L. Rutland &
Co. Though his firm had many
misfortunes, having been burned
out several times, under his
shrewd business management 1t
has always done a successful
business.
Mr.. Waggoner was one OF the
organizers of the CaldwellaBank,
and has served as vice president
since it's organization in 1902.
Mr.. Waggoner leaves a wife,
who was Miss Lou r. Sims, a
mother and two brothers W. II.
and ]. W. Waggoner and a sister
to mourn his untimely death.
No worthy man and no worthy
cause was ever turned down by
Mr.. Waggoner. He was a friend
to the poor man and a friend to
the negro. He was liberal in
purse and liberal in spirit. The
hand of want never returned
from him empty. He was a tender
and generous husband, son and
brother.
True, his loss is deeply mourn
ed by all who knew him. Peace
to his ashes.

Louisiana Demonstration Work,

Mr.. Muran SnoWden, State
Agent of the Cooperative De-
monstration Work in Louisiana
has issued a rapport Of the results
of the years work, and the
showing is certainly a fine one.
For example, in Rapides Parish,
the Cheyneyyille section reports
299 acres of cotton and 429 acres
of corn worked under demostra-
tion directions. The average
yields per acre were l, 958pounds
seed cotton and q bushel corn.
The estimatedlyields for the Sec
ton as a whole were SAB pounds
seed cotton and 16 bushels corn.
In the Alexandria section 781
acres were worked in cotton and
287 in corn by cooperation. The
average yields were l ,3O6 pounds
seed cotton and 43 bushels of
corn. Estimate average yields for
the whole section were 1,135
pounds of seed cotton and 80 bu-
shells Of corn. In Acadia Parish
1,528 acres Of corn worked under
the direction Of MIR. Snowden's
assistant yiedeld 81 bushels to the
acre, the average yield (estima-
ted) for the Parish was q bu-
shells. In Delta Parish 5, 338 acres
of cotton averaged l,248 punds
seed cotton.
Other Parishes show equally
good results. Mr.. Snowden and
his assistants certainly have a
right to feel proud Of their work.

it out Of the pit and feed it in mid
winter.
A Liberal dry land farmer spared
enough money to plaster with concrete
the walls Of the hole he had dug in the
ground. He could not afford pulley
to hoist the silage out Of the pit, 80 he
carried it out in tub on his shoulder.
This was hard work, but the silage
made the cows give good cash returns
in milk. A neighbor spent little more
money and bought block and tackle
for hosting out the silags. Another
spent still more and put in . track and
regular carrier. Farmers that had
more capital spent from $3.50 to $500 in
building silos. They had silos that
were more convenient, but their silage
was no better. Every dry land farmer
can build silo if he wants to.

SILO INCREASES PROFITS
Ensilage Fed to Cows Make Cream
Checks Regular

A pit silo costing $25 in cash and
farm labor was built by A. G. Morrell.
Liberal, Kansas. 1t was filled with IS
tons Of milo. The silage was the chief
feed Of twelve cows whose cream
brought through the winter $35 dollars
q month: 1t was also fed to stock cat
tie and horses. Several neighbors made
pit silos and kept their stock in good
condition through last winter, the most
severe in 80 years and following . sum-
mer Of extreme drought. One neigh
Dor received $65 . month for cream.
Four Of them clubbed together and
bought silage cutter for $54. Every
man would have had to sell his stock at
low prices had it not been for the silo.
In = north Texas dry farming country
because the cows dried up. Good yields
of milo, Kafir and sorghum were raised,
but the extreme heat and drought of
the summer damaged tho forage so
much that it did not keep through the
winter. This frequently happens with
fodder produced in very dry years. The
same forage saved in silos will keep
cows giving good yields of milk and
will keep stock cattle making regular
gains through the winter.
Nineteen hundred and eleven was one
of the most disastrous drought years
ever known in this country and hun
dreds Of families on dry land farms in
the Southwest abandoned their farms
and homes. In every case the sufferers
were grain growers.
It was just as dry at Liberal, Kansas,
as in other drought-stricken districts,
but the Liberal farmers dug pits for
silos. saved their forage in them, and
the silage brought their stock cattle
through the winter in good condition
and, fed to dairy cows, yielded good
monthly cash incomes.
Eastern Colorado was as hard hit by
drought as Oklahoma, Texas or West
ern Kansas, and last fall there was a
steady procession Of movers wagons
going east out Of Colorado, carrying
dry land farmers who had gong broke
trying to raise grain. Right in the
heart Of this dry district, H. B. Rice.
of Calhan, scooped out hole in the
ground with team and scraper, made
pit silo by plastering the sides with
concrete, and his little herd of six cows
returned him cash sales from cream of
$65 and upward month from October
until May. The silo did it.
The silo and silage not only helped
the dry land farmers to secure good
cash income during the severe winter
that followed an exceptionally dry sum-
mer, but also enabled them to carry
their stock cattle in good condition, 80
that they started in the spring with
fair prospects for good profits this year.
We found this true in Colorado, Kan
sas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.
Any farmer can build silo, no mat
tor how little or how much money he
may have. A few years ago l made
one in Kansas without dollars cash
expenditure. scooped the dirt with
team and scraper out Of the center Of .
knoll, filed the hole rounding full with
corn, stalks and ears together, put
some straw over the green material and
with the team covered the pile with soil
to depth Of 20 inches. There was
never better silags made in the United

CROPS DAMAGED BY HAIL
Loss Altho Heavy Not General and
Bumper Harvest Is On

Beginning last Thursday and continu-
ing until Wednesday of this week, not
day passed without hail in some Sec
ton tributary to Keota. Luckily. none
of the storms were general, and but
two Of them were very destructive over
the sections covered.
The storm Of July did considerable
damage in the Pawnes valley fifteen to
twenty miles northeast of Keota. The
hail was accompanied by flood of rain,
and miles Of almost level land was rum
ming with water . foot or more deep
for several hours. Pawnee creek, usu-
ally stream only because Of the water
which runs in the sand in its bed, be-
came torrent bank full and overflow
ing the meadows along its course.
George Kneebone, q resident Of Colo
RADIO for twenty-five years, states that
he never knew 50 much water to fall in
30 short time. He and his son, John,
had been to Keota that day, and the
storm overlook them after they had
crossed Pawnee. From F. C. Palmer's
Pontiac ranch to John Kneebone's g place
they were obliged to wade in water
that was up to their knees most Of the
time, and it was running down the val
ley in a stream quarter Of mile wide.
Mr. Kneebone Or. with Will Waneka
continued to his homestead, which 10
two miles east Of his sons, and at the
crossing by the Hightower spring they
were obliged to hold to each other for
safety from the swift current. The in
take at Pawnee creek, to divert water
into Pawnee reservoir was washed out,
but enough rain fell in the natural basin
of the reservoir to form several large
lakes above the dyke.
On Saturday hailstorm did consider
able damage in strip about three
miles wide and several miles long, be-
tween Ksota and Briggsdale; and an
other storm visited this section and
farther to the south of Keota on
Wednesday Of this week. These two
storms probably did more damage than
any Of the others. az they hit farms
that were being extensively cultivated,
0HO Ho0 0ASSPsAOHoity 6OO0 PAVopSSIos
Oh Wednesday afternoon, also, hail
storm travelled in southeast direction
from Gatehook spring on past High
tower spring. It's path was only about
q mile wide, but the destruction was
complete on the three or four farms 1t
hit Hailstones at the beginning aver
aged about the size of a hulled walnut,
and during the thickest of the fall they
were as large as marbles. Two hours
after the hail had ceased, the ground
was covered to .. depth of over an inch.
To be hailed .out is discouraging to
the individual who suffers; but there is
reason for congratulatiop to the COM
munity in the fact that the storms are
local in character. Tho few square
miles that suffered most are, after all,
very small portion of Eastern Weld,
and by far the greater part of this por-
ton Of the county. with total Of
twelve to fifteen hundred square miles.

bumper crops Of grain and other pro-
duce. And not less encouraging is the
fact that the soil condition with respect
to moisture could hardly be better for
the planting Of winter grain. The dry
land yield will exceed all records in
