After awhile he became hungry and
nothing came his way. But In the dis

packs which he knew contained food

he followed them.
Up the hill he toiled, while still in
the distance were the food-laden
horses. They led him fine march,
and he grew weaker with the hunger.
At last he came near to where the
horses had stopped earlier in the day,
and there he found food that had been
left over. - 49,. ..

PIT .SIL0 NOW A
FEED C0kSERvER
IN Great Plains States Under
ground Type Is Quickly Con-
struCted and Permanent.
SILAGE IS WELL PRESERVED
Receptacle Should Last Indefinitely
Little Material Not on Average
Farm Is Notwithstanding
Not Expensive.

From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
i, The pit silo, not makeshift If prop
erly built, has become permanent
feed cOnserver on farms of the Great
Plains region. It is inexpensive and
quickly constructed by unskilled labor
during the lull in farm work just before
fall harvesting. A farmer using his
own labor, obtaining sand and gravel
at a small cost, and employing home
made hosting apparatus for lifting the
silage, can build pit silo Of $50 to $50
tons capacity at cash outlay of about
SIS, cement being the chief item of ex-
penditure. AS guide to those who
wish to build such silos, publication
of the United States Department of Ag-
riculture Farmers Bulletin 1925, "Pit
Silos" gives the details Of construction
and drawings illustrating the process
and methods of making hoists.
.. Many Benefits Of Si!o.
Properly constructed pit silos, requir-
ing little material not already on the.
average farm, should last Indefinitely,
and the upkeep is small. The cost OF
q masonry silo Is often prohibitive in
the Great Plains region because the
materials must be hauled from distant
railroad points. Wooden silos often
weaken rapidly under the climatic con-
ditions peculiar to this region. Pit ST.
los cannot be blown down; silage is
preserved fully as we'll or better than
In above-ground types; the silage is
never frozen; filling is much less ex-
pensive operation; and the labor Of get
ting silage out Of the pit, which comes
during the period when farm work Is
not pressing, is reduced by home made
windlasses or pulley lifts.
As it is impracticable and even dam
gerous to make a pit silo in certain
types of soil, farmer should know the
character of his soil before attempting
to build one, department specialists
say.
Locate the silo near the feed lot If
possible. If feeding Is to be done In a
barn, 8 or 6 feet, at least, should be
left between the edge of the pit and the
barn. Farmers Bulletins 461, '.Che Use
of Concrete ON the Farm" and $50,
Homemade Silos," give valuable in
formation and detailed instructions
concerning the mixing, handling and re-
Enforcing of concrete, the construction
Of walls, and 50 on.

a 4 by finch piece for the boom. Only

yield of beets per acre in the United

not uncommon. If the 100000 acres

methods, we would have had 100000

AS soon as the beets have from
four to six leaves they should be block

Labor is one of the principal fac.
tors influencing acreage, as more Ia
Dor is required in the growing Of sugar
beets than most other farm crops.
From all reports labor conditions arc
more favorable for sugar beets than
they were a year ago. The depart
ment Of agriculture is endeavorfng to
meet the labor situation not only BY
encouraging the shifting Of labor to
the centers where needed, but also BY
encouraging the development and pro-
duction of labor-saving machinery.
This year there will be several beet
harvesting machines on the market,
some Of which have been thoroughly
tried out and are capable Of doing sat
isfactory work. These implements,
which likely will be in general use In
the near future, will do much to re-
lieve the labor situation and thereby
lend encouragement to the beet'sugar
industry. 49,
