Not Recommended in Humid Sec

Pit silos are not advocated in humid
sections. Where the ground is firm
and dry, pit silos will serve the pur-
pose as well as more expensive struc-
lures. They are durable, and the cost
is small, and they can be built with.
out much outside assist lance.
In constructing pit silos. the com
monty accepted rule of depth equal
to twice the diameter is a good one to
follow. If the silo is too shallow, there
Is too large surface exposed and the
pressure Is not sufficient to pack the
silage close enough for the best re-
suits. 1t Is not advisable to dig the
silo too deep because of the difficulty
OF getting the silage out In case a
large quantity of feed Is required, 1,
Is better to dig two sman silos.
Level the ground off before starting
to dig. as this makes 1t easier to keel
the walls perpendicular. A plumb line
or straight edge should be used fire.

In reference to the work undertaken
Iby the Holden improvement commit
lee Governor John M. Haines Of Idaho
bays:
With reference to the results &C
|complshed by the campaign made by
Professor Holden in the Inland EN-
pire for the purpose Of stimulating the
|production Of alfalfa, corn and live
stock. beg to submit the following:
When it was announced that this
campaign was to be made, immedi-
ately made an investigation as to the
general character of the work which
| had been done in other places by Pro-
fessor Holden and convinced myself
of its great value in the carrying Of a
message directly to the farmers them
selves with reference to what could
best be done by them for the purpose
| of lettering the quality Of their soils
/ and thus increasing their productivity.
As soon a. / had become fully In
| formed as to the work done by Pro
| lessor Holden in other localities,
very much regretted that his cam
| paign 30 far as the state of Idaho was
! concerned would be confined to north
srn Idaho. While alfalfa Is now and
/ has for number of years been grown
very extensively in the southern part
Of the state there can be no question
but that our farmers would derive
great benefit from personally reoeiv
Ing the important instructions which
q campaign OF this kind IL designed
to give.
Results Very Great.
am informed that the results In
the northern part of Idaho which maj
reasonably be expected as a result o.
this alfalfa campaign will be very
great indeed and already preparations
are under way for what is referred tt
as "Follow-up campaign" This,
take 1t, is intended for the purpose o.
more thoroughly impressing the PEG
pie with the lessons already laugh
and of finally and definitely convinc
ing them of the benefits which they
may derive through the increased
value of their farms by adopting th'
more extensive cultivation Of the nj
trogen producing plants.
trust that this follow-up campaign
will actually be made and trust als'
that at that time or some other TIM
In the near future it will be possible
to send the alfalfa special on thor
ough tour of all other parts of tn
state not already covered.

alfalfa Week."

We are greatly pleased that the
Inland Empire Alfalfa Campaign coy
cred such large part Of Washing
ton, but 1t gives us far greater pleas
ure to know that the follow-up work
is to be Pacific northwest-wide. Re-
cfprocal educational cooperation in
washington, Idaho and Oregon Is one
Of the basic principles OF professional
success.
We believe the work Of the Holden
Improvement Committee has in 1t the
elements:
LIST. OF training the whole child.
Ind. Teaching In terms OF the
child's life.
3rd. Teaching the child 10 think in
terms Of action.
Our state always welcomes such
laudable efforts. The desire of the
committee to cooperate in the work
of the Boys and Girls Clubs is com
mendable.
Under date Of June 8, 1913, wrote
Prof. P. G. Holden. 4 am working on
a plan Of community center organiza-
ton in this state, which | hope Will
make 1t possible to reach more people
In the smaller centers than we have
ever been able to reach before.
1T is very encouraging that the
EFFORTS Of the Holden Improvement
Committee are entirely in accord with
the above. For these reasons. the
state superintendent Office extends
most heartily their endorsement and
support of the committees plan Of

the distance from the library to the paint

our genial uncle says he can outrun any

comes to swatting the fans with foul balls.
Last week he nearly put Paddy HoRs DE

making foul that bounced from the
catcher's shoulder to fans left ear and
wound up on top of another fans Uranium.

Smith, of the Seekers, sure is some

then-ran like gazelle out to right field
