SILO HELPS TIDE
OVER LEAN YEARS.
Makes Straw, and Even Some Weeds,
Available as Feed in Emergency
Times Stock Needs Sue
culent Feed.

Some years we have an abundant
rainfall and produce more feed than
can be most economically consumed.
BY the use of the silo, the surplus
feed can be carried over to years of
shortage. Well made silage will keep
for years.
In the grain growing sections there
is much straw that usually goes
to waste and as Il single feed, it has
small value. This straw fed along
with silage is worth several dollars
a ton.
On every farm there is more or
loss of weeds and waste stuff that
would have considerable feed value if
put in the silo or fed dry along with
silage. In Eastern Colorado last year
some farmers were able to save their
livestock by the use of Russian This
tie silage.. Weeds are not recon-
mended as crop, but under emer-
gency conditions, they may have
value.
All animals, TO do their best, re-
quire some succulcnt food. and in sill
age this is provided. On the dry
farms of the state silage takes the
place of pasture. With silage, pro-
duction and profit are increased.
stockmen cannot secure the greatest
profit from feeding unless they use
silage or other succulcnt feed.
In Eastern Colorado and in all dry
farming sections where the climate is
suitable. the farmer should place corn
among his staple crops, and on every
farm there should be a silo.-R. W.

No 1. c. c. Over McAdoo.

Mr.. McAdoo comedies nearly a bill
lion of dollars to the railroads for
their needs of rehabilitation this year.
IN some way the railroads will have
to get this money back-and most like
y the reimbursement will come
through an increase of rates in fares
and freights. The needs of the rail-
roads are doubtless larger in amount
than they were year or two ago,
when the government refused to let
them have larger revenues; but the
principle involved is exactly the same.
While the railroads were being pri-
vately managed, they could not get
money. As soon as the government
takes them over, there is money to be
had in pleRty. If the owners of the
railroads could have done with their
properties what Mr.. McAdoo is doing
with them, we would have heard less
talk about the inefliciency of our trans
portation system-though we might
have heard good deal about rapac-
ious and soulless corporations. We
wonder what will be the comment of
the public when they find passenger
rates up to three cents n mile-as they
soon will be.

GOOD COMBINATIONS OF
WHEAT SUBSTITUTES

The following, taken from cir
cular of the U. S. Food Administra-
ton, will be of interest to Colorado
housewives:
You will get better results If you
mix two substitutes than if you use
Just one alone. Some good combi-
nations are:
Rolled oats (ground) and corn flour.
Barley flour and rice flour.
Buckwheat flour and potato flour.
Peanut flour and sweet potato flour.
Soy-bean flour and corn meal. -
Caution
/. All measurements should be ac-
curate. A standard measuring cup
is equal to half pint.
2. The batter often looks too thick,
and sometimes too thin, but you Will
find that if you have measured as
given in the table the results will be
good after baking.
3. Bake all substitute mixtures more
slowly and longer.
4. Drop biscuits are better than the
rolled biscuits, when substitutes are
used.
5. Pie crusts often do not roll well
and have to be patted on to the pan.
They do not need chilling before bak-

Be it Resolved, by the Irrigation
Conference of Water Users called by
the state council of defense, that it

We recommend the spirit of the
suggestions of the council of defense

plicable to the Arkansas valley and
we pledge ourselves to endeavor to
secure the greatest possible econom-
zeal use of water turnout this district.
We recognize the patriotic duty of
cooperation among the farmers as
