A Boom in SiIos.

Contracts for the construction OF

A"Thermos' silo Of loo tons capacity
Is erected under contract for $50 TO
1925, all material furnished. A silo Of
lao tons capacity costs from $3.50 to
1915. The larger silo has proved to be
the more popular with ranchers in this
section.
Practically all Of the siIos IN this
section Of the state will be filed with
corn. An idea of the increase in the
number Of silos and in the corn produc-
ton of this section is furnished by the
statement of an implement salesman to
the effect that in the season of 1913, in
the territory from Mountain Home west
to the Snake river and including east
ern Oregon, only 10 corn planters were
sold, while over $50 planters we're dis
posed of in the same tearitory this year.

Many remedies are recommended
for diseases OF the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the scar OF the
trouble. DR.. Miles Neryine has

THE FACTS ABOUT REVENUE.

Tho financial report OF Auditor Moore made
public this week affords interesting reading to
friends Of prohibition as aftereyidence in sup
port Of their contention that even were the loss
OF liquor revenue not more than made up in
saving Of criminal expenses. the State of Vir-
@nta is amply able to take care of her loss Of
liquor money. The opponents of prohibition
claimed that the increased burdens of govern
n'ent would eat UP any. natural Increase in reve-
enuo, Members OF the last legislature predicted
a deficit on account OF increased appropriations.
but tho State Of Virginia now has on her books
. 100000 balance unappropriated This amount
includes an increase in revenue within one year
OF over 100000. No man need feel the least
apprehension TO yirginia's ability to care

enough already to supply the prospective de-

eXtravagan1 70 talk about eliminating
tire cotton crop, but remember these are war
times and call for extraordinary efforts TO
my mind, nothing short OF this will relieve the
situation. IL can be done better than the
duction ana the effect would be different The
reduction Plan has been tried and failed
often that it has become a joke. You can't
tell what a half crop is, but anybody knows
what mo- crop Is. or course, if this plan is
adopted would have to have a holding plan
that would protect the farmer against the specu-
tators Aiy" idea would be for the farmer who
owed as much as his cotton is worth to deliver
all his cotton TO his principal creditor. with
agreement that one-half was to be sold to the
best advantage on this years market and the
other half stored and held for the fall OF 1915;
t" be SOLD then to best advantage and pro-
Ceeds to belong to the farmer less the interest
and expenses. On the other hand. the farmer
should bind himself to plant only provision
crops for the year 1915. OF course. there are
some cash rents that would have to be cared
for but, If this plan is adopted and the 1915
crop eliminated cotton will find purchasers at
prices that win furnish money enough for this.

many well-to-do farmers would hold their

Texas should lead with law prohibiting cot

It's from the public the fullest REG
