Mr.. c. L. Stanley,
Manager The Keota News,
Keota, Colorado.
Dear Sir:
Your letter Of February 18th, ad-
dressed to the Agricultural College, has
been referred to this Office for reply.
We have arranged for Special upon
the Burlington to take up the subject Of
Silo Construction, with special refer
snce to the dry farming territory. This
train will come to Keota. The schedule
is not yet definitely arranged and am
not able to give the exact date. 1t will
be during the last two weeks in March.
Thanking you for your assurance of
cooperation, am,
Very truly yours,
C. H. Hinman.
The visit of the Silo Special will be
awaited with much interest in this Sec
ton, as the belief is becoming general
here that the silo offers the best and
only sure method Of utilizing all the
food value of our forage crops. Several
Of our local farmers and dairymen have
practically decided to construct silos
before the next corn harvest, and their
example will be followed by others.
Mr.. w. K. Bowles il convinced that if
he had had silo last season large
enough to hold the fodder grown on his
place, he would have had silage suffi-
cient for at least two years feeding.
For year like 1912, wet at harvest
time. and with the corn improperly
ripened, the silo offers q perfect solu-
ton Of the harvest problem. The corn
is right for ensilage when the grain is
in the dough, and the work can be done
in any kind Of weather.
