THE CUB SAYS

H. A. Savage lives out on rural
route number three and came from
Salt Lake year and a half ago.
Last spring when seed potatoes were
scarce he read an announcement
that Harry Trego had some little
potatoes for sale for seed. and he
wired to see if they were still on
hand. Finding that they were he
drove across country right quick,
and bought them, paying a price
that seemed plenty, but it was seed
he wanted, and he knew seed when
he saw it. Some other fellows had
been to see them and wanted to buy,
but wanted bargain because of the
size. Mr.. Savage thought he was
getting .a"bargain because Of the size
and took fourteen sacks
Well, the, ~SaEagss~ planted those
little spuds-ahu tinkered with them
and raised 420 sacks from an acre
and quarter which is atfhe rate of

had chance to buy them and didn't
can see now where they missed it.
V. r. Robson, who returned last
week from Minnesota says the work
of county agent is something that
does not show the main results for
years after the work in done. In
Minnesota, where they had that kind
of work for a longer period, there
is increasing evidence Of its value.
Mr.. Robson says the results will
show in future years in improved
herds and fiocks, and better soil con-
ditions and better farm management.
He says the silo is one of the things
that follows county agents, and that
in some of the districts in Minnesota
and Iowa that were very dry this
year, the men who had silos pre-
served all the available green truck,
while the man on the adjoining farm
without a silo witnessed that kind
of feed drying up and passing into
decay. One man will be fortified
for winter feed and the other will
be in poverty. He remarked that
down in Ada county where they be-
gan building silos few years ago,
and where the county farm bureau
bought a machine for casting the
cement blocks to build silos, the ma
chine is engaged most of the time
for about year ahead.
