SILOS IS SOLUTION
FOR SAVING SHEEP

The stockmen are being hard
pressed by the long winter, and loss.
es have been reported in some plac-
es II is case of too much stock and
not enough feed, and more slices Is
the solution of the problem.
Silo has become the watch word OF
the corn-belt stockmen and 1t must
become such IN this valley. Think of
the terrible waste last fall of the
stalk fields, and now witness the
scarcity and high prices of hay. True,
few sheepmen have learned the val
ue of silage and are making extensive
use of II, but most of them are still
depending upon the straight hay ra-
tions.
Many lambs have died this year
and in fact every year because OF the
lack of some feed like silsge. Sheep
men know that an abundance of milk
means that the lamb will be owned
and properly nourished, and silage
is the feed that will bring II about.
Too much coarse hay killed num-
her Of ewes this winter, and this
would have been avoided II silage had
been substituted for part of the hay.
The Deseret Sheep co. has found
that they can not afford to not feed
silage. They are now making plans
to build two large slices on their Nys-
sa ranch. Mr. Dorman Of ontario has
also observed the necessity OF silage
and Is also planning q silo. Mr.. Clin-
ton OF Boise, Idaho. writes that sill
age fed to his ewes made more milk
and better lambs. and more wool.
These facts determined by practical
men have long been worked out by
experiment stations The Utah sta
tion found that two pounds Of silage
and two pounds OF alfalfa gave about
the same results ~ four pounds of
hay when fed as daily ration to
range ewes. Figure the difference In
cost, and results.
Shoepmon should heed these re-
suits and investigate the silo aR a.
business proposition. They can not
AFFORD 10 be without silo.

No selection of State Highway
Engineer has been made, as the Com
mission shows that Il intends to cut

different type of engineer may be
needed in the event the bonds do not

CAMPAIGN UNDER WAY.

Orcgon's good roads campaign ha,
been launched The Legislature,
/ Committee OF Eight. three senators
and five representatives, has taken
charge. Contributions OF $40. eacl
were made by all members OF the
committee. and the formal request
was made OF the press OF the state
that subscription lists be opened In
their columns for the collection OF
funds for the county and state cam
paigns. The only restrictions as 10
subscriptions avs that none from
paving companies may he accepted.
All subscriptions made for the state
campaign are TO be remitted To Sena-
tor Il. ID. Cusick treasurer OF the leg
islature committee, at Albany, Ore
gon. County campaign subscriptions
are To be handled entirely by the To-
cal organizations.
Il was the sense of the committee
that organization of county cam
paigns be left entirely nthe hands of
the several counties, and that the
sole function OF the state headquart-
ers is to be the dissemination of such
literature, information, advertising
and other service as may be required
by the county organizations. The state
headquarters also will cooperate in
securing speakers for local meetings
To discuss the bonding bill, There are
many excellent speakers in the differ
ent counties who are well yersed in
the provisions of the bill and discuss
same ably and the services of such
will be enlisted 10 visit neighboring
counties, their' expenses to be paid
from the state campaign fund.
To unite all the counties in the
state campaign, a convention OF sup
pOrters OF the bond issue has been
called to meet at Portland. Saturday,
April z, Meanwhile, the Legislature
Committee will take charge of the
state headquarters, the immediate
work 10 be under the supervision of
an executive committee consisting of

tive Roy w. Ritner of Pendleton, Sec
retary.

After suffering almos untold indigntes at the hands of the German emperor after seeing dozens of ships ruhleSSy sunk without warnng after permitting the Ger emperors submarines to kill hundreds of American zens after exhaustng every known civilization keep of the European war; President Wilson convened congress in special session for the avowed purpose of decar ing that state of war exists between the United States and Germany and asked that he be granted the privilege of ing all the strength of the United States an earnest effort to bring the unhoy end There six senators opposed to the declaration of war; while fifty beS of the lower house of congress voted against the measure.
 We are therefore, at with Germany It at once be- comes the duty Of every citizen of the United States to a y to the flag whether he favored war or not no long CT question of what may personally think It is now

HOME-G GUARD SHOULD BE ORGANIZED.

In sounding this note of warning do not want to ap- pear as an aarms nor suggest that Yuma IS Tn any danger but in view of the fact that at war With Ger many and in further of the fact that the United States infantry may be caey away at moments noce would highly essential that every ablebodled male citizen of Yuma regardless of be organized into
 home-guard ready to battle against any enemy that may appear.
 This is matter that should probably be left to our sheriff. chief of police and constable They should be given the authority organize homeguard at Once and under proper restrictions place the proper arms and ammunition the hands of every loyal citizen of Yuma Not only that but these officers should be vested with the authority to make housetohouse search of all aliens and deprive them of any arms and ammunition found in their keeping The alien who would object this procedure could at once be put down as an undesirable citizen.
 We should take chances. It has been known ever since the outbreak of the European that the United States honeycombed with spies They being arrested every day different parts of the country We want of them in Yuma there any of them here they should be hunted down and locked p Our existence depends upon viglence. Let every man, therefore place his services the disposal of officers and then may feel of safety that lacking. By all the safety of Yuma demands the organization of company of home-guards.
