THE PIT sILO

The pit silo has some advantages
over the above ground silo as well as
disadvantages. The pit silo is cheap
to build. It requires less power to put
silage into it than into the above
ground silo. The silage keeps well in
the pit silo, no air can get through
the walls nor does the silage freeze.
The disadvantage Of the pit silo is
getting the silage out. Many have
solved this in different ways, using
hoists to be worked by horse power
or a windlass. Some Of these are
illustrated in a publication on the Pit
Silo issued by the Agricultural Elk
tension Department Of the North
Dakota Agricultural College. It also
gives information as to digging and
plastering.
The pit silo can only be used where
the water table is lower than the
bottom of the silo.

be proportionate to the excess weight.
The various delegates and repre-
sentatives Of North Dakota producers
were accorded full opportunity to be
heard and took every advantage of it
and were absolutely a unit in sup
porting the recommendations of Pres.
Ladd for q simpler system of grades.
Pres. Ladd's recommendations were
filed with the committee and Mr..
Brand stated they would receive full
consideration in fixing the final stand
ards. He also stated they did not
think there was much difference ex-
cept in the number of grades pro-
posed. Mr.. Brand thought the tenta-
tive standards would act as a check
upon the buyers on terminal markets
and enable holders of good heavy
grain to secure a premium therefor.
Pres. Ladd and the grain growers
delegates argued that. there was no
provision made for strictly enforcing
compliance with a complicated grad
ing system on the part of the local
elevator buyers and the greater the
complication in grades the lower they
wuld grade the farmers grain in order
to be sure to come out even when
they marketed the grain at the
terminal under strict grades and
United States supervision as provided
by the Grain Standards Act.
The arguments were frequently
quite heated and the chairman was
forced to call several Of the speakers
to order but in the main good humor
prevailed and all parted friends at
the close with mutual expressions that
some good had been accomplished in
presenting Pres. Ladd's findings and
the sentiment Of the northwestern
grain growers.
Among delegates and speakers
were John M. Hagan, state commits
f%sioner of agriculture. Ormanzo A.

SENATE BILL PROVIDES
STATE GRAIN GRADING

Senate Bill No. 314, introduced by
Senators Kirkeide and Drown, is for
an act creating a uniform state grade

all other grains and agricultural pro-
ducts. The bill provides that a mem
Der of the faculty of the North Da-
kota Agricultural College be appoint
ed as state inspector Of grades,

define and establish proper grades and
weights for grains and seeds and
publish this formula in five newspap-
ers of general circulation in the state.
He will be empowered with the nam
ing of deputies who shall be stationed
at towns where grains r marketed,
to weigh, inspect and grade the grain.
The deputy must in each instance
issue a signed certificate stating his
findings and the amount Of dockage.
1t would also be a duty Of the depu-
ties to sample and grade all carload

charge, in the cities Of Minneapolis,
St. Paul, Duluth, Superior, Fargo,
Grand Forks, Wahpeton and Fair
mont, These markets are to be open
to all persons desiring to buy or sell

The bill provides for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the purpose OF
putting the law into force and effect,
which sum shall be ~replenished by
adding thereto all fees for licenses
and inspecting, weighing and grading.

MOISTURE FROM W1NDBREAK

"a windbreak will stop a lot Of
snow which largely soaks into the
ground when it melts. This makes a
good place for a garden and for small
fruit. The snow may be hard on tree
fruit, breaking off branches in settl-
ing. The roots from the trees will
extend out to g distance at least
equal to the heights of the, trees
which means that the strip next the
trees will not be good for most
crops. But beyond this strip, there
will be four or five rods in width and
in many cases more which will have
"a better moisture supply than If there
were no trees. The windbreak will
also protect whatever is grown in this
belt, This protection enables crops to
grow better and especially vegetables
and fruits.
