1000 SIl0S.

That is a decidedly important piece
of information that comes from Bis
amarck. to The Forum today in which
it is stated that there are 1000 silos
now in use in the state, while that many
more are under construction or to be
built this summer A few years ago
a silo was almost a curiosity in North
Dakota and by the end of the year,
according to careful computation and
conservative estimate, there will be
1000 of these symbols of prosperity.
Five years ago the farmers Of North
Dakota seemed to be welded to the one
crop idea and in many localities the
advocate of dairying was laughed at.
1t was said and believed that the farm
ers of this state would not tend cows
that they were well satisfied with
wheat raising and would stick to it,
at least for many years to come.
Today The Forum publishes the
names of ffty-one farmers from two
North Dakota counties, including two
or three from a Montana town. who
a ahaLS q up Oh IL SpSCIdl Train
through Wisconsin. Minnesota and the
southern part of this state to study
conditions and methods in states that
are noted for d%airying. These things
prove the a~daptability of North Da-
kota's farmers. their quick intelli-
gence and willingness to lake advan-
tage of their opportunities.
Two thousand silos proves a revo-
lutionary change has been accom-
plished in half a decade, and this is
merely the beginning. The silo is the
most scientific and economical way OF
preserving corn n other green foods
for cattle. A silO on the farm means
that the farmer is engaged, either in
dairylng or stock raising, generally
the former. 1t means that there will
be a big b~i-product of food for hogs.
1t means that the farmer has q steady,
all-the-year-round income. 1t means
in short the sure foundation for pros
perity.
Nothing has been published in
North Dakota this year Of greater sig,
nificance than this statement regard-
ing silos.
