During the last several years the
writer of this paragraph has
written column after column of stor-
les on the value of silo. This and
the adjoining counties have a few
silos but there are not as many as
there should be, and barring all hind
RANGES we shall continue to use space.
on the silo matter until about every
farmer has one or more.
This years short crop will prove
the wisdom of having a silo to pre-
serve the feed that is raised. Every
scrap of fodder saved adds flesh to
the stock and stops the expense of
buying feed.
The man who has no silo will try
to feed the fodder, but the best of
the feed blows away In the handling
and if he has sufficient feed to sup
ply his stock during the winter per-
.iod, the waste, under the present
prices of feed, would make a pit silo,
which is the poor mans friend.t
Among the several silos in the
country are the stave. the cement
and the new one. known as the Inter-
locking Cement Stave silo. A num-
Der of the farmers have the stave,
the cement and the pit silo. Those
who can afford to construct the up-
right silos of course enjoy all the
conveniences of feeding silage. The
1nterlockng Cement Stave silo ape
pears to be an ideal one. but The
Democrat is not selling silos and
therefore will not advocate any par
ticular one, yet with prayful insis-
tance we urge that the present crop
be placed in silo even if nothing
more than pit silo can be- made.
The silo is the only economical way.

KITCHIN TO DIRECT
MILITARY PROGRAM
OF the PRESIDENT
fBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 10. - Demo
cratic leader Kitchin today announced
his readiness to pilot the administra,
ton war program through the house.
He voted against the war resolution
and there was some doubt of his posi-
ton. Mr.. Kitchin also announced that
he would give the Democratic caucus
an opportunity to decide if it desired
10 depose him as house leader. While
a large majority of the Democratic
members disagreed with his opposition
to the war resolution. the general feel
ing is that he voted his conviction and
now that he is willing to take charge
of the war measures he is not open to
attack. Great surprise was expressed
by Mr. kitchin over any question as
to his being willing to push the war
measure through the house. He never
mad any intention of opposing them
since the war resolution passed, he
said Now that the resolution has
passed certainly am willing to take
charge of the measures and push them
through" said he Il cannot under
stand why it ever has been intimated
that | would be unwilling to take
charge of the bill. expressed my
willingness in my address to the house
and wish to reitsrate it now
Belief was general in congressional
circles that all the so-called pacifist
factions would join with Mr.. Kitchin
in support of the measures.
