BOOSTERS CAN
STOP REMOVAL
OF ROAD OFFICE
Rock Island System, Rumor
Says, Is Planning on Chang
ing Division Quarters.
FROM HERE TO DAVENPORT
Is to Requite That City for Loss of
District Superintendent and
Other Heads.

Unless business men-boosters, in
other words, of Rock Island, get to-
gether and do little real boosting,
Rock Island is liable to lose the office
of the division superintendent of the
Rock Island road together with. all the
200 employees who live In this city with
their families now. Rumor has it that
the office of the division superinten-
dent is to go to Davenport, to sort of
requite the Davenporters for the loss
Of the Office of the general super
irtendent Of the district, superinten-
dent Of motive power and others,
scheduled to be removed to Des
Moines within the very near future.
In fact the rumor is so emphatic that
employees in the superintendent Office
are laying plans for removal, and I'M
less some one steps in and asks for a
stay in the matter, Rock Island will be
left in the lurch.
INSTITUTE STILL HUNT.
When the Davenport committee
learned that 1t was to lose one Office,
a still hunt for the division superinten-
dents Office was instituted. From all
aspects in the situation, it is apparent
ly successful, and daily, official an
nouncement is expected. The en-
ployes who were removed here recent
ly, have refused to unpack their be-
| longings, awaiting a definite settle
ment of the matter.
Here is an opportunity for Rock Is
landers to hold something which it has
already gained, and with little ener-
gy, the Office can be kept here. Un-
less it is. the breach which is made
by its removal will hardly be re-
filed with what ever else the road may
desire to bring here. AS the terminal
of this particular division of the road,
Rock Island is benefited.

prx FARMING BrInos Results.

Some complaints have been made
that dry farming methods DO not sue
coed In very dry years and that hence
these methods are wrong. Plants will
not grow without some moisture. and
the season of 1911 was unusually sew
ere In it, heat and drought because 1t
followed two other similar seasons i'm
mediately The preceding seasons
were not 30 bad. but the rain came at
such time of the year that there was
comparatively little moisture In the
soil during the growing periods. This,
however, should not argue against
the dry farming methods, as they are
simply good farming methods which
are applicable in greater or less de-
gree to every section OF the United
States. Dry farming methods do pro
duce good results In three seasons out
of FIVE and are more likely to produce
results every year than any other
method which has been devised.-Rec-

One of the greatest advantages of

over the time when there is q Seri0ua

Of the size of 4 silo becomes very i'm

the year silaEe spoils very rapidly
where 1t comes In contact with air.
Spoiled silage Ia . dangerous sub
stance to feed. Besides tainting the
milk and upsetting the digestion OF

To avoid this, 1t is necessary to feed
on each day from one and half to
two inches. II this IL done the silage
does not have time to change or fer
