STORING FORAGE

The past two years have been ex-
trenely trying to the live stock
industry. Grass has been very short
and feed Of all kinds difficult to get
and high in price at that. There was
NO surplus of feed on hand when the
long dry spell set in, to help carry
the live stock over until better days.
The present eason opens with
every promise Of abundant grass and
opportunity to grow great quaint.
ties Of forage. II looks like a year
of plenty. And in the year of plenty
it is well to prepare for possible lean
years.
Over in the Panhandle of Texas
the siio is coming into use as the
means Of storing in years of plenty
for use in years that are lean. Many
live stock men there have silos; some
of the ~overground variety, but more
of the underground kind. Some even
do not take the trouble to line a hole
in the ground that has been prepared
with the scraper. Many of the live
stock men are not farmers and are
not anxious to try farming. So they
buy the forage from the farmers to
fill their .ilos. Still others contract
for the silap e put up by farmers.
How long will silage keep? One
enterprisine stockman at Canadian
became interested in silos. The first
was the best that money could
He was pleased with the re-
suits, gradually increased the silo
capacity, and at last dug out a hole
in the ground hat held 600 tons. He
not take time even to run the
silage through the cutter, but dumped
IN the bundles. Four years later after
q year Of short crops he opened the
big hole and to his delight found the
in excellent condition. This
helped him carry his stock through
the winter cheaply and efficiently.
The lesson is that in this year of
forage crops should be extern
'iely grown in New Mexico and
'tored in silos for possible lean years
o come.

STATE OIL ASSOCIATION

AT least twenty counties rave in
eoyporated oil companies that pro
pos to explore for oil in Now Mex
ice. A number Of foreign conesrns
are also active In obtaining lsasel
and investigation prospect. Other
companies are in the process of or.
s~anization.
To all appearances Now Mexico il
ready for a thorough exploration. J,
takes capital to drill test wells and
will require more capital than can be
spared from established business and
industry in the state. 1t will take
concerted action by New Mexico
people to induce sufficient capital to
come to the state for this purpose. 81.
Ii seems practical hat the various
oil interests should combine into an
association for tho purpose OF in
teresting outside capital. These COM
panies have already made investiga-
ton of their respective fields and are
therefore in position to show outside
capital hat here is an opportunity to
try out oil prospects that are prom.
icing.
At present every company is plug
sing along by itself, doing the best
il can with the means at hand. With
united efforts il would be much easier
to reach outside money at less cost
There are other reason why the
formation of an oil association at
this time would be helpful. The ar
guments in favor of associating are
strong and there does not seem at
ing an association. And there should
be no serious delay in getting to-
gsther either. The better all interests
connected with oil exploration can
work together, the better the test is
will be and the sooner results will
come.
