Now you haven't fed any of this en-

that l haven't fed any of this ensilage

isfied / could feed some ensilage and
cut away down on the hay, probably
feeding some clean straw, for / notice
when the men haul straw into corrals
for bedding, the steers eat lot of it.
Look at the value you get from feed
ing these steers in the way of fertil-
izer If you find that you want to
feed more steers than you have pulp
for, cut the pulp in half, feeding so
pounds per day per head and feed your
ensiloge that you get from the tops
Feed two steers to the acre instead
of one on the ration of 100 pounds of
pulp per day.
You still have more profit coming
on that beet crop. Saw you follow
your beet crop with wheat-Your in
crease in yield would be remarkable.
A farmer at Hansen, plowed up ten
acres of Alfalfa in 1912, planted five
acres to wheat and the other five
acres to sugar beets. In 1913 he
planted the ten acres to wheat. Where
the sugar beets grew he harvested 81
bushels more wheat to the acre than
he did where wheat grew in 1912.
Figuring the profit on the in
crease in yield of 81 bushels
at the present price of $179
per bushel $55.49

You haven't used your ensilage OIL
given credit to the manure you receiv-
ed. They say our land on the Twin
Falls tract is too high. Two crops
like this will pay for the best i'm
proved farm on the tract. You are
not only making a handsome profit OF
the sugar beet crop. but you are do
ing a good deal in helping fight thil
great battle. These twenty tons o
sugar beets with the average ex-
traction of the Twin Falls factory t
date is 251 pounds per ton of beets
Twenty times this means that you ar
producing 1924 pounds of sugar-th,
greatest fighting food that you cal
produce. This 1924 pounds of suga
will feed 6S soldiers on full ration o
"a pounds per annum for one year
The farmers on the Twin Falls tract
know, will realize the great shortag
of this very important food and befor
they outline their crops for this yea
will not forget that they are doing

stand Cultivating the crop as soon as
the rows show up with the weeder,
and probably it would help to use the
discs to prevent the covering of the
small beets Have the beets thinned
at the proper stage, for where the
thinning is not done at the proper
time the yield is hurt materially,
Watch this part closely. After the
Eeets are thinned, hoed and in first
class shape at the proper time, your
twenty tons of beets are practically
made with the addition of one or two
civilizations and irrigations. Do not
start irrigating until you are sure they
need it and never let them want for
water until the crop is made.

Making a total of $685.
I did not mention the wear and
tear on machinery, for the machinery
is generally furnished at the above
prices.
Take twenty tons of beets at $500
per ton would bring $4,000. Silo your
beet tops in common hole in the
ground like a potato pit-say II feet
wide at the top and feet wide at
the bottom and from 21@ to feet
deep and as long as you have beet
tops to fill. Place inches of straw
on the bottom and four inches of beet
tops, one half of one per cent salt,
continue the layers of straw and tops
and pack the same with a roller or
wagon running over the same to firm
them down until you have built above
the surface of the land three or four
feet and seal up tight with dirt, watch
ing closely to keep the silo air tight
In six weeks time you will have en-
silage from this crop of tops equal in
feeding value to one acre of alfalfa.
Figuring an acre OF alfalfa five tons at
$1,000 a ton, making a nice little sum
of $4,000, and that is a low estimate
in both yield and price of alfalfa.
You are not through with the profits
of that twenty tons of beets yet, for
the pulp that you buy for so cents a
ton prior to January 18th, has Won
derful feeding value. The five tons of
pulp, (ripe as feeders call it, will feed
a fattening steer 100 days with a full
ration of 100 pounds of pulp per day,
that with u pounds of hay will put on
this steer, if he is a good feeder, two
pounds gain per day, making a total
of 200 pounds for the 100 days fed, at
say 1912 cents per pound.
Figuring that the steer will cost
you 8 cents a pound and
weighing 1000 pounds would
cost you....................... .........- $4,000

Mrs. Virginia
Trimble Beverage

This community has sustained
another loss in the death, Saturday
noon, of Mrs. William A. Beverage,
at the home of her son, Byron,
one mile south of Monterey, death
following 3 long illness.
Mrs. Beverage, who was daugh-
ter of the late Harvey Trimble,
had reached the age of Cd, and her
death followed closely that of her
aged husband who passed to his re-
ward in October of last year.
Surviving a serious illness prior to
his death, she enjoyed comparative
" good health until a few weeks
ago, when her condition became
serious.
Hers was a life full of years and
good works. In early girlhood
she protested faith in Christ and
during subsequent life remained
faithful and true to the Master.
During her last illness she spoke of
the approaching end with calmnes
and confidence and faced the king
of terrors without fear.
Her christian character found
expression in an ideal motherhood,
her devotion to her family being
one of the marked characteristics
of her life. Surviving her are four
sons and one daughter: Messrs
l. L. Beverage, county Surveyor
of Highland; Edward and Coe,
residents of Poeahontas;;:@ Byron,
with whom she make her. home,
and Mrs. Bessie Showalter, of
Warm Springs. All OF them, eX-
cept Coe, were PRESENT at the
funeral, be being detained by ILL
ness in his own family.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted from the Methodist church,
of which she had been a member
since early life, andwas in charge
of Rev. N. A. Parker in the |
absence of her own pastor, who is
now attending annual conference.
The large attendance was a strik
ing testimonial of the esteem in
which dece@s-d was held, and the
services were most impressive.
Interment was in the Monterey
cemetery, the following relatives
and friends acting as pail. bearers:

High School Contest

The annual contest between the
Monterey High School and Crab
bottom was held last Friday night in
the home auditorium, large crowd
being present to greet the
"gladiators."
The principle features on the
program were debate and readl"g
contest, but the numbers were
delightfully."- interspersed with piano
music~-duets and solos by music
pupils of the NJ. H s.
The question for debate was a
timely one and interesting in itself
at this day in the worlds history:
"Resolved that the United States
should at the close of the present
war, join a League of Nations to
enforce Lasting Peace"
The Monterey school had the
negative side and Crabbottvm tue
affirmative. the speakers from Crab
bottom being Misses Rita Kramer
and Celia Swecker. Monterey
Miss Elizabeth Whitelaw and
Henkle Shumate, the latter win
ming. All who heard the discus
sion are loud in their praise of the
efforts, asserting that these young
people handled the big question in a
mastery way.
In the reading contest, Cecil
Rexrode and Miss Anna Winner
of Crabbo tom, were met by
Richard Sullenberger and Miss
Virginia Graham for Monterey. In
this contest the honoro went to
Crabbottom.
During and following the meet,
refreshments were served by the
class in Domestic Science.
