THE SILO is A NECESSITY

Quite few Iowa county farmers
are building silos this season declares
j. L. Tormey, emergency food agent for
the county council of defense, in re-
cent interview.
at is evident from tour of the beef
cattle districts that the silo is a
necessity, Mr. Tormey states. More
beef men are seeing the point, and
without doubt our total of about 485
silos will jump to considerably over 500
by fall"
Must Keep Nations Lead
According to national survey COM
piled by Hoard's Dairyman in the sum-
mer of 1915, the grand total of silos in
the United States amounted to $50, 100,
Wisconsin leading with 5000, and
New York following with 42,846:
Wisconsin's silo census has increased
since then, the latest figures placing
the state total between $4,000 and 10000
as estimated by the crop reporting
bureau Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

and silage machinery who do business
in Wisconsin are endeavoring to make
prices and terms attractive to prospec-
tive silo users this year. Wisconsin is
at present one of the important selling
fields through local agents for the out
put of about SO different silo factories,
IA of these being located within the
state.
Eight we'll established reasons why
more Wisconsin farmers are building
silos this year because they are pay

The silo gives from % to 30 per cent
more feeding value to the corn crop
than when it is fed as fodder.
The silo provides succulent feed in
winter which helps to keep the COWS
healthy and productive when green
feeds are lacking and dairy prices are
highest.
The silo gives permanent insurance
against drought stricken pastures.
The silo helps the farmer make the
best possible use of frosted corn. Even
immature corn can be saved by saved

THE RATE RAISE.
Manson Democrat.

The railroads OF the country are be-
ginning a systematic campaign to create
sympathy for their movement to Sc
cure an increase in freight rates. Nat
urally, their first move is to try 10
work the newspapers for a lot of free
advertising They are sending out bales
OF statistics showing how the prices of
farm products. manufactured articles
and almost every other commodity have
advanced while railroad freight rates
have enjoyed only the five per cent ad-
vance granted by the interstate COM
merce commission. The railroads are
not entitled to an increase for freight
hauling at this time, for the reason that
they have been making plenty Of
money at the rates they have been
charging. The INCREASE in wages they
were compelled to grant their employees
is what is hurting them and they
want to make the public, pay the bill
while they pocket all the profit they
formerly gobbled. The inefficiency the
railroads have shown in the matter Of
moving freight during the past two
years has not Increased the respect the
public has for them to any appreciate
extent and II is unlikely that they will
get much sympathy in their new move
ment for an increase In rates.
