FREE SCHOLARSHIPS
Commissioners in Each County
Can Send Boy to the Uni
versity

The boy who has been grad
uated from the high school and is
seeking entrance into an adj
vanced course of study should
not overlook the opportunity af-
forded by the State law, Chapter
6S37, No. 81, under which the
commissioners in each county can
provide a free scholarship to the
University of Florida college of
Agriculture. Not all counties have
created the scholarships, but a
few boards of commissioners have
made the necessary provision un-
der the law.
The scholarship is to be suf-
ficient to pay the board and lodg-
ing of one student for one year
and is to be awarded to the young
man ranking highest in competi-
tive examination. The student,
in accepting the scholarship, signs
a certificate agreeing, if capable
and otherwise qualified, to engage
in agricultural pursuits in this
state. All applicants for the
scholarship shall be eligible for
admission to the University.
This offers an excellent oppor-
tunity to some high school gradu-
ate, who has not the necessary
funds, to get started toward an
advanced education in agricul-
ture. Once started, he will proba-
bly, find the necessary means to
continue in the course.
The Nation needs men trained
ia agriculture not only now but in
the future, for there will be a
continual demand as time passes
regardless of the length of the
world war. War is wasting the
products of the soil as we'll as
those of the factory, and this
waste must be made good by
greater farm production.

Points in Favor of Silage

Here are the arguments in fa-
vor of silo and it's use, as pointed
out by the University Of Florida
extension division:
/. Silage is the best and cheap
est form in which a succulent feed
can be provided for winter use.
2. Crops can be put into the
silo during weather unfavorable
for making hay or curing fodder.
3. A given amount of corn in
the form of silage will produce
more beef or milk than the same
amount when shocked or dried.
4. There is less waste in feed
ing silage than in feeding fodder.
Good silage properly fed is all
consumed.
5. Silage is very palatable.
6. Silage, like other succulent
feeds, has a beneficial effect upon
the digestive organs.
7. More stock can be kept on
a given area of land when silage
is the basis of the ration.
