Beet Tops = Valuable Feed

with feed prices three times what
they were ten years ago, more care
should be taken OF beet tops. An
acre Of beets will produce from to
8 tons of tops. In a test made at the
Colorado Experiment Station some
years ago. beet tops made into silage
without the addition of straw. showed
a value for feeding dairy cows almost
equal to corn silage. which is usually
considered worth Sc to 81 ton.
The beet top silage was a dark. cof-
fee color and was not eaten as read
lily as the corn silage. but seemed
to give as good returns for feed con-
sumed. A number of feeders made
beet top silhge last year and OBJ
tanned excellent results from feeding
the silage to steers.
The easiest way to make this sill
age Is in n trench silo TO fee,
wide. 6 to feet deep. and as long
as may be necessary. The ends are
sloped SO that wagons can drive in.
over the tops. thus packing them
down. Alternate layers of straw may
be put between layers of tops. Straw
takes up some OF the moisture from
the tops. thus improving both feeds.
When the trench is full It is covered
with straw and earth. The silage
is cut out with hay knife and taken
out from the end.-Chas. l. Bray,

wheat Price Expl.ined

Although there has been much
said by way OF explaining the gov
ernment price OF wheat many peo-
ple are still asking for information
on the subject, and this Is not at all
strange for the problem OF price fix
ing by the government is entirely
new to our country.
The price now is s2.20 at Chicago
for No. ! wheat Of the different va
rieties. This price was determined
By q committee OF twelve selected by
the president. the membership Of
the committee being composed Of
two prominent economists. two rep
resentatives OF labor. two representa-
tiyes OF big business. two represen-
tatiyes OF state agricultural colleges.
three representatives OF organized
agriculture, and one individual far
mer. There were on the committee
four men actively engaged IN farm
ing.
The price Of f220 for No. wheat
at Chicago Is fixed price for the
1917 crop and will not be changed
before July /. 1918. The govern
men, will buy all wheat offered at
that price, provided there are no 9TH
er buyers who viii pay that much.
but will not permit any buyer to pay
more. SO that. although the govern
ment may not buy all OF the wheat,
yet this price is fixed price that
will be paid by all buyers and which
will be neither more nor less.
In the legislation establishing z
food control the Congress placed a
minimum guaranteed price on the
1918 wheat crop. This minimum
below which the price cannot go. is
$500. but Is based on ",he principal
interior markets" and not on Chicago
alone which means that the price
can not be below $500 at any one
OF those principal primary mar
kets." such as Minneapolis. Omaha.
Kansas City. etc.
The price Of $500 Is only a min
imum guarantee. II will become ef.
fective July I. 1918. and continue
in effect until May !. 1919. II will
not be changed nor withdrawn. II Il
not rule Of the food administration,
but an act OF Congress. No matter
how large the crop raised next year
may be. II there are no other buyers
for the wheat who will offer S2.oo
La Junta tribune., 1917-10-25

the government must take 1t At that
price. On the other hand II costs
OF production increase or there is a
light yield. or II for any other reason
the costs of production are unduly
high or the demand Is very urgent,
the price may be above $500 as II
is now.
The present price of $2.2o Is a
fixed price that will not be changed
In any way until July I. 1918. The
$500 price for next year Is only q
minimum. The actual price for next
year cannot be less than that but II
may be $500 or more.

Liberty Loan Must succeed

How vital to the success OF our
country in this war. how absolutely
necessary TO the success and tho safe1
ty and the well-being Of our SOL
diers and sailors who are offering
their lives to their country Is the
success of the Liberty Loan is well
expressed In the following extracts
from the speech Of Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo made before the
American Bankers Association at
Atlantic City:
ut is upon the treasury Of the
United States that every demand in
time Of war focuses. because every
thing goes back to the gold pile.
Every dollar that is paid to
soldier. every pair Of shoes he puts
on his feet. every piece OF clothing
he wears. every gun he. carries. ev-
cry cartridge he fires. every 1s-inch
she'll that is hurled from the mon
ster guns OF our battleships, ana
every shovelful OF coal that Is t0R>
sumed in their boilers--everythfng
that touches this war and causes a
government expenditure depends
upon the money in the United States
treasury.
"The problem OF the American
treasury is the problem of the Amer
lean people; It is the problem Of
keeping the treasury supplied with
the means to carry forward the great
business OF the nation under the d.
rection OF the commander in chief
OF the army and navy Of the United
States. your President, whose glor-
ious stand for Americas honor and
Americas rights. Justice. civilization
and democracy has made him one OF
the greatest OF the worlds outstand-
ing figures.
THE problem Is twofold: To
supply essential credits to the allied
governments. because 1t II vital to
our cause that their strength and
credit shall be sustained: and. sec
ondly. to meet our own require
ments."

WHO WANTS FARM LABOR
Great Western Road VIII Assist in
Supplying Hired Help.


William Barr, local freight agent
of the Great Western railroad, would
like to hear from any farmers in this
vicinity, who wish to have boys come
and help them on their farms.
MI. Barr is in receipt of letter
from ID. w. Quick, division freight
agent of the Great Western, at Red
wing, stating that D., S. Dixon, indus
trial agent of the Great Western at
Chicago, has been requested by John
D. Stolp, superintendent of the Chi
cago schools, to locate Chicago school
boys who are looking for such work.
Mr. Stolp says he has on hand about
$500 boys of the Chicago schools,
who have volunteered their services
for farm and garden work. The boys
are from sixteen to eighteen years
of age. Many of them have had some
sort of farm or gardening experience.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quin-
cy has already responded to such an
appeal by the Chicago superintendent
of schools to the effect that that road
will place two to three hundred boys.

DIED SERVING COUNTRY
Edward Rey, sr., Fifty and Boy of
Eighteen Years.

Paris, April 15.-[By Mail]-Un-
lieutenant Edouard Rey, ST.,
fifty, and Poilu, Edouard Rey, Jr.r,
eighteen, father and son, died toge-
Their in the same battle.
Official records have just told the
story The two Reys left wife and
mother in cottage in the village of
Gaillard, France, and marched away
together to fight the Germans.
The elder Rey, more brilliant, won
medals and promotions. His son,
however, was content to fight quietly
by his fathers side.
One day the task fell to the elder
Reys section to bomb out German
machine gun which had help up the
progress of the section. Father and
son advanced side by side as usual.
Two bullets struck the father, but did
not stop him. A third struck him in
the head and he fell dead just as
another bullet mortally wounded his
son. They died almost at the same
moment.
