THE sILo AND THE FARM.


The progressive dairyman anc
stock raiser of the future will have
a silo on his farm.
The silo is going to revolutionize
farming in this valley 1t will enable
farmers to keep and fatten twice as
much stock as they could under the
old system. 1t will be greater benz
eft where the farmer is engaged in
the dairy business.
When Ed Vahlberg last summer
commenced to cut up corn fodder,
and other crops that usually go to
waste in his fields and orchard, ard
put it into his new silo, it seemed to
be doubtful experiment. 1t looked
as if it would be of little account for
feed and that it would not be worth
the trouble of cutting it up and put
ting it into the silo. But Mr.. Vail
berg says it is worth double in feed
ing value for his dairy cows than
hay out of the stack is, and has re-
suited in largely increasing their
milk yield.
The same experience is reported
by silo users in other portions of the
valley. The silo is especially valu-
able to the fruit grower, because he
is thus enabled to make use of a
large quantity of rough and undevel-
oped stuff that grows between the
trees in his orchard that would 9TH
erwise go to waste.
If the amount of waste in the feed
ing value of crops could be saved, it
would mean handsome profit to the
average farmer. 1t would mean that
he would make money instead of be- {
ing hardly able to make both ends !
meet. as is too often the case now
Farming is business that not only 8
requires industry and economy, but it
also requires good brains well culti-
waited. Farmers are gifted by nature I
with as good brains on the average Il
as men in other lines of business, but e
too often they have failed to culti- &
vate their brains at the same time e
they cultivated their fields.
There are plenty of object lessons
20 show that brains count on the farm g
rs much as anywhere. In nearly ev- II
Try community there are some farm II
RS who prosper right along while n
heir neighbors seem to have hard II
ime to make living. Why? Inves-
igate and you will discover that the
ones have used their al
leads. They raise better grade of al
took and they farm better. They pr
dopt modern ideas. ia
OF course, what may be called luck Tn
uts figure as it does in every line
f business, perhaps more on the
arm than in most occupations. Here ,ii :,
nd there is farmer who seems to NJ
e pursued by hard luck all his life. "p
ut the rule is that one man has on ak
lie average just about as much un- Nv
misfortune as another.
The thoughtful man uses his brains
guard against misfortunes and Of
m saves himself from loss where an
her less thoughtful man will lose
,cause he has not made reasonable
-eparation for accidents,

many of your neighbors would
move to Alaska, or benefit from it?
Not ONE!
But here are our own citizens,
permanently settled, home-builders
and home-owners, denied an appro-
priation of a QUARTER OF A
DOLLAR each for road-making in
their own country and around
their own homes, while the people
of a bleak, bare, barren and distant
possession get SEVEN HUNDRED
AND TWENTY DOLLARS each
for the building of a railroad that
would not benefit you five cents if
you should live two centuries.
Listen!
This is your business, and the
Record is in earnest.
Rich private interests now own a
partially constructed railroad in
Alaska, which the owners have
found to be a failure and a white
elephant" on their hands.
They are the men behind the
guns in t this Alaskan appropriation.
Think it over. You will know
it.
If not, WHY did the bill provide
that in case the government pur-
chased a railroad already built it
should not pay more than the act
ual cost of construction.
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES name
they are your masters in this
legislation.
Keep your eyes open and watch.
1t will be our money back" for
that crowd.
No use to talk about coal and
gold. It's the Gugeenheims that
will be developed" in the Alaskan
bill.
The Alaskan bill would do credit
to that part of the history of this
fair Southland when carpetbaeeery
fourished.
1t is ridiculous!
1t is monstrous when you think
over the whole situation.
No man who voted for that
measure ought to be returned to
congress, because he has forgotten
his country and his people.
We are not talking now to those
people who say the government
has plenty of money; that it will be
spent anyhow, and that it had as
we'll 90 for a railroad in Alaska as
anything else.
Don't you do it either. Life is
too short to waste any part Of it
on a man who goes no deeper into
things than that,
We are talking to the serious,
thinking portion of our citizenship;
those who believe that the govern
ment belongs to the people, and
that all public expenditures should
be regulated by the public needs
and public welfare.
These are the people to whom
the Record is always willing to give
its opinion on public matters for
their candid consideration.
If you want useless, squanderine
appropriations stopped, stop voting
for the men who make them.
If you endorse them of course it
is consistent to vote for the men
who make them.
What do you think about itY
It's your business.

THE ALASKAN MATTER

1IlL ALAOAAN MAI len
There are $4,000 people in AL.
aska.
Think of it!
There are something like $4,000
people in Sharp county.
There are more people in the
city of Little Rock than in the
whole territory of Alaska.
Yet the area of Alaska is $780,.
884 square miles-equal to the
combined area of Great Britain,
Ireland, Spain and France.
The bill providing for the con-
struction of a railroad in Alaska
carried an appropriation of $780,
100000 AS A STARTER.
Dividing $4,000 into 36,0OO,O00
you get the startling result that
that appropriation means an expen-
diture of $720 for each inhabitant,
man, woman and child, in Alaska.
Counting five to the family, the
usual ruler you get the further
startling result that that appropria-
ton means the expenditure of
$4,000 for each family in Alaska.
Now
The appropriation for the Alaskan
railroad killed the bill appropriatine
money for federal aid to good roads
for the various states of the Union.
The proposed appropriation for
good roads amounted to only $685.
100000.
There are a hundred million
people in the United States.
The good roads appropriation
amounted to the pitiful sum Of
rs cents,fo each inhabitant, man
woman and child, in this Union.
Or SIPS for each family in the
Union.
We know you see the point.
Every member of congress who
voted for the Alaskan railroad bill
said to the people Of this country:
You must wait for a per capita ap-
preparation Of Is cents for good
roads, because we are now making
per capita appropriation of $720
to the people of Alaska for rail-
road there
There's no way around it. 1t is
just that.
That vote ought to defeat any
man who is guilty of casting it.
A man, one who had been figur-
ing on the matter, stated to us a
few days since that if this govern
ment would appropriate one hund.
red million dollars, which would
amount to only a dollar for each of
our population, the money would
build TWENTY-FIVE macadamized
roads across this government east
and west and TWENTY-FIVE mac
adamized roads across this govern
ment north and south.
Think Of 1t!
This is your business.
There Is no justification for the
Alaskan railroad bill under present
conditions
Those who attempt to justify its
passage say Alaska has coal and
gold.
They forget that we DON'T NEED
the coal,
They forget that we don't need
the gold,
In his speeches Tom Campbell
declares that the report Of the last
geological survey Of the government
says there Is enough coal In the
