BILLIONS WASTED ON FARMS

Many of Us fail to appreciate our
real blessings, because we regard them
as just common everyday things. IF
some mysterious power We're to sud
denly change winter into summer, il
would be recorded rs Il miracle In
reality. this is what the silo does
changes winter into summer. The siIo
makes June grass out of the waste
products of the farm. Silage is the
winter pasture for the farm animals.
The silo is the cows kraut barrel. No
man can get the best out eff the bust
ness of farming without silo.
1t combines more good things and
brings greater profits than any other
building on the farm; it provides Il
cheap and convenient place to store
all of the crop; helps utilize cheap
roughage, makes it possible to keep
more stock on the farm, which means
more manure for the land. The silo
insures succulent feed in the winter
and in dry spells when pastures fail :;
provides a balanced ration when fed
with alfalfa, clover, bran, cottonseed
meal and other protein or muscle-huild-
ing feeds. The silo takes care of the
crops and clears the land for early fall
blowing, prevents waste in feeding.
keeps stock In rood condition, makes
cheap beef ana milk.
Waste, With Corn Crop.
The greatest waste in any one indus
try in America occurs with the corn
crop. The grain of the corn crop of
the United States every year is worth
on the farms about $1,700,0 100000; so
per cent of the feed value in matured
corn is contained in the kernels. and
40 per cent in the stalk and leaves.

The silage-fed calves made an aver

you is the one which can be con

Il billion dollars At least 80 per cent
of the feed value of the stalk is lost
under the present system of farm man
agement-a waste with this crop alone
of a billion dollars annually No
other business but farming could stand
such an enormous loss.
Contrast this waste by the corn
growers with the practices of large
business organizations. For years the
great packing houses have sold dressed
meat for less than they have paid for
the live weight of the animals. Yet
every year these packing houses re-
turn millions OF dollars profit be-
cause they utilize to the fullest extent
the value of their by-products. AT the
same time the corn growers are vast
ing most of 40 per cent of the feed
value of over one hundred million

is fought in many arenas. one OF
these arenas is national publicity.
There, as in the raw material mar

the labor market, in the field OF re-

the battle for supremacy.
National advertising, however,
differs from these other arenas in this:
The weak has just as much chance
as the strong.
The young stands level with the
old.
Everywhere else the match is I'M
equal. Raw materials can be cor
nered. Men can be hired away.
Markets can be shot to pieces by
vicious competition. Stocks can be
driven down, loans blocked, notes
called.
National publicity alone offers a
fair field and no favor. For no one
can get a corner ON public attention.

urday Evening Post, the number OF
contestants and the size OF their et-
