cording to q law passed by the last leg
islature. j. A. Stanley, president of the
Commercial Club, wrote Prof. Larsen,
of the dairying department., to sscer.
tain the character of silos they were
advocating for this region, and their
probable cost, and for any other infor-
nation concerning silos for this west
river country that the professor might
give. The following reply will doubt
less be of interest to our readers:
Brookings, 8. D., June 10, 1918.
Mr., j. A. Stanley, Hot Springs, 8. ID.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of the 9th
inst will say that there is no question
but that silos are what the western
part of the state needs.
AS to whether or not underground
silos are success will probably de-
pend on the kind of subsoil and the
amount of seepage water there is in the
ground. There are a very few portions
OF the western part Of South Dakota
which have seepage water enough to
make pit silo impraoticable. The
only objection that can be raised to the
pit silo is that it is little more work
to get the sifage out for feed. Secondly,
in the bottom of these pit silos there is
a possible danger of carbonic acid gas.
l think this latter danger will be over
come, ss we are digging the silos into
the ground only about six feet We
make the diameter of these pit silos
little greater than ordinarily. One OK.
perimental silo has been located near
Rapid City. This silo is 20 feet in di-
ameter and l6 feet in depth. The sides
Of these silos are then plastered with
two coats of cement. This makes a
very cheap silo, so cheap that every
farmer can have one of them.
A silo on top Of the ground of equal
capacity will cost about $500 or S4O0.
This is more money than the average
homesteader can invest. In addition,
the machinery for the underground
silo does not cost so much; no elevator
or blower is necessary aud much less
power is required. In order that silos
may be used in western South Dakota
something that Is cheap and efficient in
preserving food Is needed. The expert.
mental pit silos have been placed In
different representative parts Of the
state in respect to rainfall and In re-
spect to kind of soil The writer has
not the least doubt but that they will
prove q success
II can be of any further service to
you do not hesitate to call upon me.
Sincerely yours,
g. LARSON,
Professor of Dairy Husbandry.

AS soon as possible the races we're
started the results of which are pub
lished in another co!um of this issue.
One feature of the tournament thus
far which speaks we'll for this gather.
ing is the absence of any rowdyism or
ungentlemenly conduct aud Hot
Springs can justly feel proud of her
visitors. One amusing feature that de-
serves special mention at this time is
the Little German Band from Tripp,
which has been doing their part toward
making things enjoyable for the visit
Ors.

1t seems to be the unanimous opin-

breaks all records in point of attend
anoe and it is mortal certainty that
the visitors have thoroughly enjoyed
their visit to Hot Springs. We wish
also to add that Hot Springs has never
