Alfred StoneWaH of Resistance Still
Being Imposed Against Germans
Fury of Invaders Hat Not Been
Checked.

The allied stonewall of resistance
is still being imposed against the Ger
mans on the battle front from Sois-
sors to Chateau Thierry. Nowhere
is the enemy making progress.
The fury of the invaders, however,
has not been checked, for all ii ng
the front they are launching assault
after assault on various sectors in the
hope that the allied ranks may give
further ground, which would enable
the enemy to straighten out the curve
in the line from Moulin n-Sous-Touvent,
northeast Of Scissors, to Troesnes,
which lies southeast of Villers-Cot
terets.
Great masses of artillery and large
numbers of troops are being used by
the Germans in almost continuous
battles, but Notwithstanding this fact
the allied line everywhere has held
strongly and at several points the
defenders have taken the offensive in
to their own hands and improved their
positions.

SCHOONERS AND 4
STEAMERS SUNK
Coast Towns Prepare For Possible
Raids From Airplanes Which The
, German U-Boats May Garry.

Enemy submarines still were oper-
ating off the American coast Tuesday.
A French tank steamer, the Hadlo-
leine, first transatlantic raft to be
attacked by the raiders, was saved
from destruction by an American de-
stroyer IS miles eff the Maryland
coast
The same destroyer found the coast
ing schooner Edward Baird Jr., sink
ing after having been bombed in the
same vicinity making seven schooners
and four steamers known officially to
have been sunk.
The toll of dead and missing from
the raid of German submarines
against shipping off the American
coast apparently stood Tuesday night
at So, all from the steamship Caro-
lima of the New York & Porto Rico
line. Sixteen of this number are
known to have perished when one of
the ships boats capsized in storm
Sunday night after the vessel had
been sunk.
A boat conveying % survivors, Il
passengers and 7 of the crew arrived
at Atlantic City Tuesday afternoon.
Another life boat with 10 passen-
gers and nine members Of the crew
arrived at Lewes, Delaware, with the
report that 16 Of the 35 who had start
ed from the ship had lost their lives
in the storm Sunday night. If the
company's figures as to the number
aboard the ill-starred liner are correct
this leaves AZ unaccounted for. Thai
number might have been crowded into
one lifeboat. The only possible clue
to their fate was found in the fac
that an empty boat, marked with ths
name Of the Carolina was picked W
at sea by a British steamship whicl

SILOS CALLED THE FRUIT CAN
OF THE HOUSEWIFE.

The silo bears the same relation
TO the dairy farmer that the fruit
can does to the housewife, says Prof.
p. NJ. Brandt OF o. A. c. While the
silo in Oregon Is a comparatively
new thing the success with which it
has been used indicates that II will
soon become indispensable to the
dairy farmer In Oregon as 1t has to
the live stock farmers OF the middle
west. 1t enables the dairyman to
fmmitate more closely summer con-
ditions throughout the year. The
most economical production of milk
Ii obtained when these conditions
are maintained.
Dairy cows naturally produce at
their best during early summer. At
that time they have In grass a bal
ance ration, an abundance of II, and
a ration that is palatable and succu-
lent During the dry season of late
summer and during the winter these
conditions can easily be maintained
by any dairyman, except the succu-
lence and the palatability. These can
only be obtained through the use of
soots. soiling crops. kale or silage.
A pound Of digestable dry matter in
a succulent feed is produced more
cheaply in the form of silage than
in any other way known at the pres
ent time. One has only to talk to
man who has a silo to find out
whether 1t pays to have one. The
The times-herald. [volume] (Burns, Harney County, Or.) 1896-1929, 1918-03-02

greatest recommendation of the sllo
Is the enthusiasm of the silo owner.
Maximum production can be OBJ
tanned throughout the year at least
cost when silo is on the farm. II Is
as valuable for keeping up the milk
flow through the late summer as II
Is through the winter months, The
practices followed at the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College at Corvallis Is to
fill the siios in June with oats and
vetch. This is fed during July. Au-
gust and early September. Then the
silo is filled with corn which is fed
through the winter. The summer
silo is nearly as important as the
winter silo.
A silo will pay interest as surely
as will liberty bond and when all
efforts are being turned to conserva-
ton and greater production IL is as
patriotic to build silo as It Is to
buy liberty bond, or better still
buy bond and use II to buy a silo.
The silo will pay for them both. Pre-
pare your silo plans now, plant your
silage crop and build your silo soon.
