TWO TYPES OF SILOS
FOR TENNESSEEANS
Experience Is Showing That Either
the Tennessee Wood-hoop Or the
Concrete SIo Is Good

The two types of silos best adapted
TO Tennessee are the cheap, temper
ary silo built of wood, and the per-
manent type, or solid wall, concrete
silo, For a farmer who wishes a cheap
silo there is nothing better than the
Tennessee Wood-hoop type. This Is
built of 1"x4" pine flooring, which
should be of good quality heart pine,
free from knots and sap, matched,
planned. and tongued and grooVed
The hoops are made Of p" x 4" green
white oak, or green elm boards. They
should be bent around form and
made four-ply thick. The ~ A.
slaves are set upright inside of these
hoops.
This makes the cheapest and best
TYNE of wood silO, and one of the
easiest to build. The average cost OF
such a silo is $1.OO per ton capacity
where all the material is purchased
and all the labor hired.
For a permanent silo there Is moth
ing better nor cheaper for Tennessee
farmers than concrete. 1t can be
built for an average cost of $3.50 to
SO 90 per ton capacity, and if properly
constructed will last indefinitely. 1t
should be built of good material with
a solid wall, six inches thick, proper
" reinforced, and made smooth and
slick on the inside C. A. Hutton,
