THE sILo IN THE PANHANDLE

(By P. E. Boesen, City Manager,
Amarillo, Texas.)
Three years ago there we're three
silos in use in the Panhandle. Today
there are approximately 1900, three
fourths OF which were constructed
during the past year. All the various
styles and makes Of silos are repre-
sented. Owing to the fact that Pan
handle soil is well packed and not
endangered by the presence of water
at shallow depths, the pit silo is pc
culiarly adapted to this country, and
many of them are planned by our
farmers for the future.
A government feeding test conduct
ed near Amarillo last winter proved
beyond all question the superiority Of
silage over dry forage as a fat-pro-
ducing feed. The grain sorghums-
kaffir, milo maize, feterita and
sorghum-which are native to the
plains country and annually yield mil
lions Of bushels of grain, have been
thoroughly tested out in the silo, with
the result that nearly every farmer
in future intends to feed at least
some of these crops in the form o.
silage. Our farmers look upon the
silo as the salvation of the Panhandle
country.
