20 you NEED A SILo7

All who have carefully tested the
value of silOs agree that they are
profitable to farmers who need them
Some have gone farther and have
adopted the slogan-"A silp on every
farm" We would modify that and
suggest that each farmer study his
needs, and decide. If he has been
wintering many young cattle, pE
has bean milking several cows, he
may find that the sil0 will be needed
to furnish succulent feed during the
winter, and to feed his cows in sum-
mer while the pasture is dFy. Now
Is the time to study the question.
/ have before me six bulletins which
were furnished by the Kansas Exper-
iment Station, each giving definite in
formation about ssme phase Of the
siIo question. These may be had by
the farmer, by asking fOrthem. They
will help to settle the question-Shall
/ have a silo? J. E. Payne, Agricul-
turist, Parsons, Kansas

INFORMAL POLL IN STATE
SENATE INDICATES THAT
MEASURE WILL PASS
NO DIFFICULTY IN HOUSE


Topeka, Jan. 22.-The main part Of
Governor Aliens Legislative program
the constitutional convention call
is due for passage. Said passage
however, will be by narrow shave.
The assertion is based on an infor-
NAL poll made in the state senate yes
terday. The house, elected to back the
Allen program, is expected to support
Governor Aliens most important
plank without much ado. The senate.
elected in 1916, defeated the consti-
tutional convention resolution in the
1917 legislature. The resolution, how
ever, lacked only two votes Of the
necessary twenty-seven, or two-thirds.
There has been a delay in the pre-
sentation Of the constitutional conven-
tion resolution. It has not even been
announced who has been selected to
lead the fight for the resolution on the
floor Of the senate.
In his message to the legislature,
Governor Allen stated that the i'm
portant land tenantry and taxation
problem facing the stae, can best be
solved after a more modern constitu-
tion has been adopted. This cannot
be brought about for three years, as

There is an almost nation wide pro-
test against the proposed increase in
long-distance telephone rates, and we
join with the protestants. Telephone
companies have never been slow to
charge what it was possible to collect
from their patrons, And telephone
companies were profitable enterprises
before taken over by the government.
The government management Of the
railroads has shown that private
management is ~ economical as gov
rnment rule, but We protest against
swelling the incomes Of the telephone
companies. If the rates were reduced
we believe the increased business
would swell the income and make bus
mess better. We need the telephone
but we protest against unreasonable
extortionate charges.
