Agent will be glad to have you list
the amount as a good many other far

able to cooperate with you in dis

Community Dryer.
1t is time to consider the matter Of
the home dryer plant and also the
community dryer, in fact they should
be in operation now in order to save
the surplus foods.
The County Agent is in receipt of
circular of dryer system which has
proved very profitable in Nebraska and
may be purchased for a reasonable
sum.
The home dryer is made in three
sizes. One consisting of ten trays,
price $1,000. Number two, consisting
of twenty-five trays, price $4,000, and
number three consisting Of 30 trays,
price $4,000.
In rural communities or in town
ships several people may purchase one
OF these dryers and operate it on the
plan. 1t is hoped that
the patriotic people in every town
ship in the county will investigate this
proposition and act upon it. For
those that have time to devote to the
work, a good wage could be made by
operating the community dryer plant
for the summer season. The work
would not only consist Of drying gar
den products but also of fruits of var
ious kinds. II you are interested in
the details of community or a home
dryer call the County Agents office
where specifications, ETC., will be fur
nished you.

GOV. HARDING. ANSWERS NQUIR.
IES

In response to numerous inquiries
ing the use Of the German language
in public places the governor has is
sued a letter which explains his mo-
tive in issuing the proclamatio
There are those who think the ruling
cannot be enforced. AT Davenport
last week four women were found
guilty Of talking in the German Ian
guage over the telephone, and were
fined from SIS to 500 each, and the
money turned over to the War Fund
of the Red Cross. The governors let
ter, which is self,explanatory, is as
follows:
your communication Of recent date
| is before me. In this You make some
inquiry concerning the application of
the recent proclamation in regard to
the use OF the English language in
this state.
Because of the fact that German
propaganda is being spread through
out our state in all foreign languages
and for the reason that there have
arisen in many places in the state
serious conditions because some were
speaking foreign languages, deemed
the proclamation necessary. and act
ing upon authority in me vested, is
sued the proclamation.
"a careful reading of the procla-
nation, copy of which is enclosed, and
a reasonable Interpretation of it, will
assure you that it does not hamper the
use of foreign language for the pur-
pose of reaching, where necessary, the
hearts Of any people for patriotic and
various war activities.
"No offense should be taken by 10y
al Americans of foreign birth or des-
cent, for the proclamation in no in
stance classes anyone with our COM
mon enemy. 1t is confined strictly to
the using of foreign languages, all of
which are medium of German prop
aganda.
The Italians of Des Moines, in a
signed resolution, have heartily en-
|dorsed the proclamation. The Scan
|dinavian churches Of Sioux City have
decided to hold their services In the

Attention of Wool Growers.
The County Agent will receive Gov.
eminent samples Of wool grades, with
in week or so. These wool samples
will designate the various grades as
standardized by the Government. II
you are interested In selling your wool
or in buying wool it would be we'll to
call at the County Agents office in
order that you have more definite
idea of the proper classification Of
your fieeces. AS word of suggestion,
it would be well for those to take
pains in caring for the wool, keeping
it dry and clean. Wool that Is stored
in cellars or damp places will take up
moisture to the extent of ten or #
teen per cent. This condition is a
reduction on the classification. II you
have any wool for sale the County

Feeding Silage.

Silage when full fed in conjunction
with limited grain ration to dairy
cows brings practically the same and
often greater production Of milk and
butterfat as where the cows are fed
heavy grain ration with dry rough
age. The silage replaces large
part Of the other roughage and a
considerable part Of the grain nee
essary where only dry roughage is
fed, This table compares heavy sill
! age and light grain fed cows with
similar cows fed a heavy grain and
dry roughage ration. Production
was practically the same in each lot
29S pounds OF silage replaced prac-
tically 60 pounds of grain, % pounds
OF stover and 8 pounds Of hay. The
grain fed was mixture Of corn,
bran and oil meal. The following are
the different grains fed and the
amounts fed per 100 lbs. milk:
Heavy grain, no silage; 80 pounds
grain, % pounds slower, 81 pounds
hay.
Heavy silage. light grain; 2O.5
pounds grain, 2sS pounds silage. "a
pounds hay.
Grain at $500 q ton-silage at $500.
Grain at $4,000 ton-silage at $500
Grain at $500 a ton-silage at $500.
Grain at $4,000 ton silage at $500.
Grain at $500 a ton-silage at $500.
Grain at $50 a ton-silage at $40
Grain at $55 a ton silage at ST.
Grain at $50 ton silage at $12.
In this experiment the silage re-
placed SO much grain, hay and stover
that with hay at a fat price Of SO a
ton the grain mixture had to be bought
at $500 a ton to equal in value sill
age at $500 a ton, while grain at $50
ton made silage worth $12 ton.
Good bright silage, free from mold
has given excellent results in lamb
feeding.
The silage replaces corn to some
extent, but its greatest value has been
