ONE FARMER OBTAINS
GOOD SOIL RESULT

This is Silos, Corn and Beef
and is only a brief statement of
facts by Sid Ellis whom every
one in the county knows. In an
interview Mr.. Ellis stated that
he is feeding 10 head Of beef cat
tie this winter from the contents
of his silo and made the broad
statement that he is getting more
pounds of beef from 55 acres Of
alage. than he has been able to
do from los acres Of bmndle corn.
In addition to this de. has 200
head of hogs that + doing fine
in the same yard with the cat
tie.
Next season Mr.. Ellis will build
two more silos and will greatly
increase his acreage of corn. He
raised this year 100 acres of
Northwestern Dent Corn and is
feeding los acres of it in bundle
50 that; he has a splendid chance
to. test the merits Of the silo.
Mr.. Ellis is very much pleased
with the results he is obtaining
from his farm and stock and be
lieves sincerely that this county
is adapted to stock and dairying
and that sooner or later it will
be in the great dairy belt and
land will be as high here as any
where in the United States where

poses.-Valley City Times Record

FOR AGR|CULT
EXTENSION WORK

Washington, February THE House
agricultural extension bill was passed
with amendments by the Senate to-day
without n dissenting vote.
The bill provides for demonstrations
on farms of approved methods, and
scientific discoveries as to farming and
homo economies. made in State agri-
cultural colleges, experimental stations
and In the Federal Department Of Ag
riculture. The Secretary Of Agricul-
ture and nd-grant agricultural col
lcges are to outline plans for carrying
out demonstrations.
As agreed to In tho Senate. the bill
would appropriate Internationally SlO.-
600 annually to each State In addi
ton n sum OF 100000 for the coming
year. with a yearly increase Of $780,
900 for tho next seven years, would be
provided for distribution among the
States on basis of rural population.
conditioned on each State appropriat-
ing ii sum equal to Its portion OF tho
Federal funds.
After seven years, the bill would pro-
vido n permanent annual appropriation
OF S4,S00,000
An amendment requiring that negro
colleges be permitted TO share In the
funds was defeated by q vote of 80
to %. The bill was amended however,
as n result Of n fight on the race ques-
ton, by placing tho distribution of the
fund in the hands of the Secretary of
Agriculture and respective State Gov
errors in States having more than one
, agricultural college. and also specifying
against race discrimination in the
demonstration work.
The bill probably Will be considered
soon in conference between the two
| houses.

Colonel Joseph Button, who returned
to the city last night from Washing

that tho Du Pont bill would DO re-
ported fnvorably by the committee.
Senator du Points description of tho
burning OF tho institute property was
dramatic in the extreme" he said. "As
General Hunters chief of artillery, he
was prepared to give an accurate &c
count of the affair. and members of
the committee sat there and listened
for an hour and fifty minutes He
brought out the fact that the subordi-
nate officers were violently opposed TO
the destruction OF school property.
Senator du Pont stated that his father
was n classmate at West Point with
General Francis II. Smith, the first
superintendent OF the institute, and
terest In the institution. even at n time
when orders were issued by his su
perior officers for Its destruction. 1t
was also n matter OF comment I'm the
committee that nifty years after the
attack the man who was ordered to
carry IT out and n young cadet who
remembered 1t SO distinctly were now
members of the United States Senate,
and that both OF them were urging
the government to make amends and
proper restitution. Senator Martin has
worked indefatigably for the Du Pont.

that 1t will be passed when II comes
from tho Committee on Claims with a

IT was pointed out by tho speakers

TO impair the health and strength of
