SILOS ARE THE MONEY
MAKERS FOR FARMERS

Build silos and save money"
seems to be a slogan with r. w.
Clark of the Colorado Agricultural
college. One of Clark's favorite
authorities is DR.. McCullom of John
Hopkins University.
DR.. MoCullom has discovered the
fact that leafy plants have a growth
and vitality giving power that the
grains lack. This power when
coupled. with succulency gives the
best kind Of food for all kinds of
animals. This in a measure ex-
plains why silage produces good
results when fed to beef and dairy
cattle. The experiment stations are
now showing that silage in the ra-
tion of cattle is necessary for great
est production, and greatest profit.
The silo is becoming one of the most
important factors in beef production.
Increasing the number of silos"
said Professor Clark, increases the
amount of winter feeding that will
be done. This means more man
ure for the land and larger crops.

They pushed the beans out of their

ground and stole the food there for

curled their arms and legs around
the poor beans and squeezed them
until they died.
"Oh, how dreadful said the little

poor beans do?"
They can't do anything unless
somebody comes to help them Oh,

Sure enough. Bob and Billy came
running into the garden. rhey got

understood how many, many chill

u. C. DODDS RETURNS FROM
LONG AUTO TRIP SOUTH

d. C. Dodds and family arrived
from n trip made thru Oklahoma
and Texas. They made the entire
circle by auto, going as far as Gal
weston and spending six weeks on
the outing. Mr.. Dodds stated that
they had an enjoyable time and had
very little car trouble to contend
with. although they found some
roads which were not conducive to
good travel. Most of the main
highways, however, were good.
Mr.. Dodds was all thru the big
Texas oil fields, and while he saw
lots of properties which were turn
ing out big money, there are not
many opportunities for the average
investor. A property which is
good, is good enough for 'he owners
to hold without selling stock. and
those which are not good enough
but what money must be searched
for to carry 1t on is not very good
investment, unless fellow has some
money he can afford to take a chance
on and make If he makes and we'll
afford to lose IL he don't make.
Crops in some portions of the
country which Mr.. Dodds visited
were poor, especially was 1t true
with a lot of the cotton. He
brought back some Oklahoma cot
ton which is on display at the New

Limitations of one-Room Schools

After a better one-room school
building is provided and properly
equipped, the people of the district
are frequently disappointed when
they find that these improvements
do not solve the rural school prob
lem because of the limitations which
hedge the little school about on all
sides. To secure a longer term in
the better building, it becomes nee
essary to raise the tax levy.
There is no more competition in the
classes among the pupils than be
fore, because the classes are no
larger than they formerly were.
The length of the school day re
mains the same-just $50 minutes
the pupils OF the first grade are as
signed not more than thirty minutes
of this time on the daily program,
are assigned three or four times az
much time because of the larger
number of studies pursued in the
higher grades. The teacher cannot
reduce the number of daily recita-
tions below twenty-six If the eight
common school grades are enrolled
and all the required subjects are
taught. Because of the limited
property valuation and the unsatis-
factory nature Of rural school work.
1t is rather difficult to retain good
teachers In these communities, as
many city superintendents recruit,
their faculties by employing sue
cessful rural teachers to fill yacan-
cies as they occur in the citien.
Communities realize, after while.
building and good equipment to
make a good school.
Before building and equipping
new one-room school building.
therefore, the people in the district
should carefully study conditions
with view to ascertaining whether
or not 1t will be more economical or
more satisfactory to organize con-
solidated school.
Advantages of Consolidation
no longer in the experimental stage
1t is proved success. There ar.
many successful consolidated schools
in the United States. Canada and
foreign countries operating under all
kinds of unfavorable as well as fav-
orable conditions. Wherever con-
solidation has been tried. the follow
ing advantages have been noted:
Advantages to Pupils
1. Larger classs, resulting in
keener rivalry among the children
and fuller development of the sub
ject-matter because of diverse view
points.
2. A larger number OF recita-
tions per pupil and longer period
for each recitation, hence more per-
sonal instruction from the teacher.
tThis is because in the consolidated
school each teacher has charge OF
cnly one or two grades.)
3. A Ionger school year, because
the people in the district demand
that the better school be kept open
longer each year.
4. An increased enrolment and
attendance attendance more regu-
lar because the children living at
distance can go to school in the dis
uict wagon)
s. saving of several years
time. fBecause of longer recitation
periods, longer terms and rnore reg
ular attendance, pupils can complete
the high school course at approxim-
ately the same age at which pupils
