All OF the silo dealers In the vale,
are reporting prospective sales Of mat
erial for silo construction this fall
Much has been said regarding the ad
visibility of the silo and there /,
much more that needs to be said. In
fact silo is as much needed on a
live stock farm as is a mower in hay
ing time. There is great need for a
variety of feeds which is largely taken
care of in islage feeding.
1t is surprising to note the feeling
on the part OF some farmers regarding
the success OF those who believe that
the silo is an experiment Let us en-.
umerate again the advantages OF a
silo on the farm. that have been dem
onstrated over and over again from
coast to coast, for the last twenty
years.

a succulent state and thereby enables

and saved in the silo than can be kept
in any other way.
3. An acre Of corn yielding twelve
tons OF ofdder per acre. which is stor.
ed in silo will result in the saving
OF seven to eight tons OF hay. A silo
holding eight acresof fodder or ninety
six tons will have sixty.four tons OF
hay. This hay II valued at 800 per
ton is worth at least $44s. This
amount will more than pay for a silo.
These figures aer taken from facts.

physical condition.

rotation.
6. The fodder can be saved and all
utilized without waste by the farm

one cannot afford to leave out the
silage.
Much difficulty arises in deciding
the type OF siIo to construct. As has
often been said before. any silo that
keeps the silage is n success. How
ever. 1t is advisable to consider the

ate, SO that IL is of the utmost impor

the hoops kept tight. Do not under
any consideration. allow the hoop TO
sag. this condition will allow the silo
to lose its shape and 1t will topple over
In strong wind. In that case there
snot only the time and trouble Of
erection, but also a loss OF material in
that the slaves are broken. A wood
stave silo when empty will deteriorate
greatly unless il receives the proper
attention
The argument made by some siIo
dealers that wood preserves the silage
better than any other material is with.
out foundation. Tests show that
where is excluded the siiage will keep
perfectly regardless OF material used
for walls.
Cement stave, clay tile. steel and
solid concrete. and wood are all used
and durability that should influence
the decision in selectiong n silo.
Crops that are best suited to the
local conditions for silage are corn and
oats and pease. Wheat is being used
very successfully as a silage crop in
some localities. There Is probably no
doubt but that corn is the best crop
70 raise for the silo when II will yield
as II does in this valley.
The variety OF corn best suited to
local conditions and that which viii
produce the greatest tonnage should
be planted. The Iowa Silver King or
Silver Mine. Minnesota No 13 y. 3.
selection No. 133. and the common ycl.
low Dent. corn have all given good
results in this valley
Machinery for filling the silo should
be purchased cooperatively by the
farmers. 1t is not economical for one
man to own an outfit for his own needs
time used very small.
With more silos In the valley the
saving OF feed for live stock will be
very great The farmer need have no
regarding whether or not the
silo is success II there is enough
stock on the farm TO eat the siiage.-

organizations, trying to assist the gov
ernment in war preparations, are like
unframed soldiers, shooting whenever

when these organizations become unit

wonderful results are sure to follow.
We should not forget that we must
feed, equip and transport as well as
shoot. Those who remain at home
have important war duties to perform.
J. c. Roberts-The American people
