Ames July Thru the erection of
5000 new silos this summer, Iowa far
mers will make q new contribution to-
ward increased food production of at
least billion additional pounds of
silage. Practically 80 per cent of the
live stock feeding value Of the corn
crop is wasted when the stalks are left
standing in the field, which means that
one-third of this billion pounds of sill
age represents absolute gain.
An average Of fifty silos to the cOun-
ty or about 5000 new silos will be
built in Iowa this season, according to
extension authorities at Iowa State Col
lege, who have travelled over the state
and are in close touch with the situa-
ton. The average Iowa silo holds about
100 tons. This means that 100000 tons,
or one billion pounds Of silage will be
conserved in the 5000 new feed
banks" With hay worth SIS ton, as
it is this year. silage fed with corn is
worth IS ton, say the Ames animal
acknowledgment. This makes the total
amount of additional silage saved
worth some s3.oo0,OOo Fed with corn
this would carry 100000 beef cattle
thru 100-day feeding period or would
feed 100000 dairy cattle thru the cold
months.
Besides these 5000 new silos, Iowa
has at least, %, 900 others built in pre-
ceding seasons. The total of $4,000 s!los
will conserve ss2.SO0.oo0 tons of silasc,
worth perhaps s1S,sOoooo and enough

name given by the state agriculture
college at Ames to the ferocious bug
with a long snout that wiped out 100
acres of fine corn off the earth for d.
H. Seabury, near Pisga.h, recently. The
bug man at Ames says that the insect
when found, is on sod corn ground
and that by early planting, or by sum-
mer and fall planting, damage may be
lessened or the insect exterminated.
The bug is gray in color, a half to
three quarters of an inch in length
with a long bill or proboscis and an
abnormal appetite and it jabs it's
bill into the center of the stalk near
the ground and then eats out the heart.

BUILDING OF FIRST AUTO
START OF BIG BUSINESS
Estimated That Over 100000 Cars Are
Now in Use, With America Leading.

When the first automobile was built.
some two decades ago the way was
paved for the most remarkable business
the world has ever known
With the motor business still in its
infancy. there are more than 1000, 900
cars in use in the world, according to
o census taken recently by the Ma
tional Association of Manufacture
the exact figures are 4,219,246.
Developed in America, II is not to be
wondered at that America leads in own
ership Of motor vehicles; but the fig.
ures of the n. A. VI. show that in au-
tomobiles America is far and away
ahead Of any other nation.
America owns 3,5OO,OOO automobiles
and trucks, five-sixths of the world
total a proportion of about one auto
mobile to every thirty people, or TO
every six families.
The majority OF the other six are
owned in Europe, most Of them having
been commandeered for war purposes.
Compilers of the census admit that there
may be many more automobiles than
they have registered, but accurate fig.
ures are unavailable on account Of the
censorship.
The wonder Of the thing. however, is
not in mere numbers. Never before, II
/ is claimed. has any business acquired
such volume in such a comparatively
short time.
Twenty years ago the automobile was
practically unknown. A few little one
cylinder cars, capable of travelling about
as fast as a horse, We're then curiosities
in some cities.
Now automobiles go everywhere They
climb mountains over narrow trails
they ford streams and carry civilization
with them.

In the event of war with Germany
it is believed that several Richmond
manufacturing plants would be called
upon by the war department for the
manufacture of various supplies which
would be required by the army and
navy
Over year ago the United States
government secured information con
cerning several of the city's largest
factories, pertaining to floor space,
equipment, kind of products manufac,
tured etc. Statements containing all
this information are filed away in the
war department.
Never Received Notice.
Factory officials who would be af-
fected in the event of war state that
so far they have never been notified
by the government what kind of sup
plies they would be called upon to pro-
vide
American Seeding Machine officers
have understood that that plant might
be expected to turn out shell castings,
but they state the factory has no
equipment for the making of shells.

local automobile factories would be
called upon to supply trucks and tour
ing cars. The Swayne Robinson COM
