A PRACTICAL TALK ABOUT
SILOS AND SILAGE.

With the Increase OF h Live Stock
and Dairy Business 1t Is Becoming
More Important to Provide Proper
Fccd EcOnOmically-The Value Of
Silage as Feed and Of tho SiIO as a
Means of Storing IT., Have Been
Recognized for Some Time by the
Most Successful Dairy Farmers
Silagc Is Now known to Be a Very
Valuable and Economical Feed for
Beef Cattle as Well.
Experience has shown that the best
form for a silo is round with the walls
perpendicular. The round silO does
way with corners in which silage is
likely to spoil. 1t gives the largest
capacity for the amount of material
in the walls, and where built above
ground this form Of construction re-
sists the winds and the pressure Of
silage from within better than the
square Silo.
When the silo exceeds 16 feet in
diameter. it requires more work to
get the silage to the door than in the
smaller isol. 1t also requires a larger
amount to be fed daily in order to
keep the silage from spelling on &C
count of its contact with the air. A
silo of large diameter and not very
tall has more spoiled silage in it pei
ton of good silage than a silo OF
greater height The pressure on the
silage is measured by the height OF
tbs silo and not by it's diameter, sc

There are a few facts to which We
WOuld invite the sober consideration
Of cotton producers. You are being
told may things which are not tr,e
It is astonishing how much we'll in
tended advice you are being given. IT
is equally lamentable how much selfish
opinion is being offered you in the
guise of friendship. The humorous
side of it all is that everybody thinks
he knows more about the farmer,s
business than the man whose living
depends on that business.
If the average farmer really knew
as much about the business of farm
ing as the average banker merchant
insurance man. drummer or profes-
|sional mar thinks he knows. he wonId
need no further knowledge.
The first fact we wish to ny, on
record is this: The average So,,thern
farmer of today is nowhere near o.
big a fool as the average town MAN
still thinks him to be. Country dc
tricts and the people of the farms
have progressed at least leo ner cent

Recalled That 81 Years Ago Today.
Corn In This Vicinity Was
Flat on Ground and
Frozen.
CAME AT END OF RAIN
Breaking Of Drought Was Attended
by Peculiar Phenomena In
Temperature Back In
1868.

II you felt the heat today. here's
one that Is guaranteed to cool you on.
Fifty-one years ago today all OF the
corn In this vicinity was frozen. There
were frozen puddles of water IN the
corn fields. This was recalled by
"Judge" Haywood who has lived IN
this vicinity for more than q half cen
fury.
It was on August II. 1863, that the
corn fields were coated with ice. The
sudden freeze followed the breaking
of drought. And it occurred during
war time. Perhaps the superstitious
can find something in this worry
about at this time OF year.
There had been a season OF dry
weather something like this that we
have been experiencing, Mr. Haywood
recalled today. On August II 1t broke.
and there was a great quantity OF
rain. from the twelfth until about the
fifteenth. The corn was beaten down
in a number Of fields by the amount
of moisture, and the strength OF the
storm.
On the night OF the sixteenth OF
August a sudden drop in the tempera'
ture caused the freezing OF the water
In the corn field and on the corn
stalks. In places where the corn was
beaten down it was frozen fast to the
ground and there was sheet OF Ice
to be seen over ponds and ditohes
where the water had collected.
This was the sight which met the
eyes Of the people as far west as the
Missouri river on the morning OF the
seventeenth Of August.
Today's temperature was running
somewhere up in the high n1neties
when Mr.. Haywood told his story to
an interested crowd this morning.

CONFERENCE ON
WAR MEASURE
Tax viii Have to be Levied In United
States to Help Out

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - War
emergencies, nnnancing and handling
the cotton crop were considered at
several conferences here today. Vote
on tho ship registering bill was dis
cussed in the house and senate today
Ship building companies had rep.
resentatives here fighting the plan to
admit newly built foreign vessels to
strictly domestic commerce.
Secretary McAdoo held conferences
with bankers and commercial repre-
sentatives regarding resumption OF
foreign exchanges.
He met score OF bankers who
came here to discuss the question
Seth Lowe and representatives OF the
big business committee appointed to
draft bill creating bureau to write
insurance on war shipments, planned
to present tentative bill to congress
by Wednesday. Consideration Of the
emergency war tax, intention Of in.
creased internal revenue duties prob
ably on tobacco, beer and liquor to
make up the expected S100,O00 ,00O
revenue loss caused by cessation OF
foreign imports was also planned by
the house ways and means committee.
Representative Underwood declared
the treasury in position to run several
months without war levy. He also
said there was no plans to issue Pan,
anna canal bonds to meet the difficulty
caused by the shutting of OF duties.
He was not prepared to say WHETHER
the war tax would be imposed before
or after elections, but he placed the
date at least two Or three weeks
away.
Leaders In the senate and house
have been opposed to shouldering the
responsibility for war tax but the
president agreed that il 1t becomes a
necessity, he will take the respons.
Utility by sending a message. Once
put on, the war tax must run for sew
eral years in the opinion of the con
ferees. because of the fact that foreign
mills for two or three years after the
conflict, are bound to feel its effects
in partial or entire disintegration OF
their business.
