Food Value of Corn as Silage.

Almost any green crop can be made
into silage successfully. Much care,
however, must be taken to expel the
air from such hollow-stemmed plants
as the small cereal grains by cutting
fine and packing firmly. Other crops,
Of which legumes are examples, are
deficient in the fermentable constitu-
ents needed for a palatable silage. On
the other hand few crops, such as
the saccharine sorghums, have so
much sugar that unless cut at more
mature stage they have a tendency
to produce sour silage.
In most parts Of the United States
more food material can be obtained
from an acre of corn as silage than
from an acre Of any other crop that
can be grown. Corn is more easily
harvested and put into the ,silo than
crops like rye, clover, cowpeas, or al
falfa, and when cut for silage the
maximum quantity of nutrients is
preserved. Experiments have shown
that corn, when sliced, lost 5O.6 per
cent of the dry matter, against 23.S
per cent when cut for fodder and
cured in the field. Moreover there is
less waste in feeding silage than in
feeding fodder, since good silage
properly fed is all consumed. When
corn is cut for silage the land is
cleared and left ready for another
crop sooner than when the corn is
shocked or is husked from the stand
ing stalk. Corn can be put into the
silo at cost not above that of shock
ing, husking, grinding and shred
ding.

Railroad Rates to Advance.


The interstate commerce commission
has granted the railroads of the ma
ton authority to increase their reve-
nues approximately $1,5OO,000,O00.
Freight rates will be increased
about one-third, passenger fares one
fifth and Pullman charges one-half.
Coastwise and inland steamship lines
and electric railway companies have
also been granted permission to in
crease their rates in proportion to the
increase granted to the railroads sery-
ing the same territory. No estimate
OF the aggregate amount to result
from these advances has yet been
made.
The new rates, which are to continue
in force until March 1, 1922, will be-
come effective on five days notice by
the carriers to the commission and
public, and they must be in operation
before January 1. The carriers are
expected to bend every effort to put
the advances into effect by that date.
Increases granted by the commits
sion are designed to offset the $780,
100000 wage advance awarded by the
railroad labor board and to provide
the per cent income on the aggre-
gate value of the railroad properties
as permitted under the transportation
act. The aggregate value of all Of the
railroads was estimated by the com
mission at $18,90O,OOO,OOO against
a book value of $2O,O4O, 100000 given
by the carriers.
The 20 per cent increase in passen-
ger fares, excess baggage charges and
milk transportation rates and the so
per cent surcharge on Pullman fares
authorized by the commission will be
general throughout the country
Freight rate increases will vary &C.
cording to territory, with 40 per cent
in the east, rs per cent in the south,
IS per cent in the west-that is from
the Mississippi river to the Rocky
mountains Is per cent in Noun
tain-Pacific territory from east of the
Rockies to the Pacific coast, not in
Guiding Alaska.
The increased charges on freight
alone were estimated as equaling a
levy of SIP per capita per annum for
every man, woman and child in the
country, basing the nations popula-
ton at 105,000,0OO for 1920, recently
made by the census bureau.
"The increases here authorized, -
the commission said, fare intended to
yield the additional one-half of one
per cent of the aggregate value of the
roads TO make provisions for i'm
provements, chargeable to capital ac-
count. The record leaves no doubt as
to the needs Of the country for addi-
tional transportation facilities. All
carriers participating in the increases
will be expected to make appropria-
tons for additional improvements, bet
terments or equipment of character
chargeable to capital account, and to
make report to US semi-annually show
ing what portion of the increased
revenues resulting from the increases
here authorized has been devoted to
that purpose"

JUDGE FOGARTY ADMITS
OUR FIGURES CORRECT

In an article in this issue Ex- County
Judge John Fogarty admits that the
figures as given last week, in answer
to the DIX City enquirer, were correct.
1t seems that the report has become
widely circulated that the county was
out of debt when Judge Fogarty went
out of office.
The report Of E. S. Anderson, State
Accountant, on file, gives the outstand-
ing county warrants without interest)
September 30th, 1914 to be $67,S2631.
The interest on these warrants as
shown by the semi-annual report of
County Treasurer at this time was
$3543.00. Between September S0th
and December 31st, the date of the
expiration OF Judge FogaTty's term,
the debt was increased Sl637.4S max
ing the total Indebtedness S72,907 60.
We do not agree with Judge Fogarty
however when he states that the taxes
for 1914 were due and collectable, as
these taxes were not due and would
not be collected until April 1st, 1915,
nearly a half year later, during which
time the debt would be steadily in
creasing.

ST. JOHNS PARISH HALL.

At last the ambition of several years
has been entertained in the minds OF
the congregation of st. Johns Episco-
pal Church. Its object was the pos
session of a hall in which the social
organizations and activities of the
congregation could have adequate and
convenient home. The beginning of
the fulfillment of this dream was made
last week when the church rented the
hall on the first floor of the Odd Eel
lows building. This room has been
christened st. Johns Parish Hall and
is to be opened this evening (Friday)
with High School Halloween Party
and followed on the following even
ing by another Halloween Party given
by the Girls Friendly Society of the
Church. 1t Is the ambition Of the
ladies of the congregation to event
ually transform the hall into a real
coZy homelike place where not only
the congregation of st. Johns but
other societies and individuals Of To-
ledo may hold their social functions.
If you desire at any time to engage
the Parish hall you are invited to
consult either Mrs. A. 7. Peterson, the
clerk of the Church, or Mrs. w. II.
Burton, the treasurer.

CHAIRMAN EMERY PRE-
Diets SWEEPING VICTORY

In an interview with w. G. Emery,
chairman of the Lincoln County Re-
publican Central Committee in regard
to the election outlook, Mr.. Emery said
From all reports received by me from
the State Rep. Central Com, the in
dications are that Harding and Cool
idge will carry the State by $4,000
and that Stanfield will be elected by
10000. These estimates are based
upon a careful check flom reports
from all counties. Reports from the
National Committee are to the effect
that the Republican Candidates will
receive an overwhelming majority of
the electoral vote. Wagers at odds of
8 to. on Harding and Coolidge go
begging in the East without takers.
In this state the odds on Chamber
lain Of month ago, has switched to
even money, and Indications are that
the odds will be on Stanfield as cleo
tion approaches.
''ln Lincoln County Harding and
Coolidge will get a majority of at
least 700. Chamberlain's usual ma
jority has been whitfield down till now
the county can safely be counted for
Stanfield.
"As to our county candidates, every
one should be elected and will be X
every Republican votes true to party
principles. The only uncertainty in
regard to these candidates, is as to the
amount of their majorities"

JOHN FOGARTY REPLIES
TO ELK CITY VOTER


Editor Leader,
Toledo, Oregon.
Dear SIR
A voter of Elk City asked about the
county debt. Yes, there was always
a chronic debt every time / went into
Office that / had to help pay. l was
appointed County Judge in February,
1913, and R. II. Howell's semi-annual
report, dated the 1st of April, 1913,
gave the actual indebtedness of the
county as $S7, 7,S22.6 One year later
r. H. Howell's semiIannual report,
dated April 1st, 1914, gave the actual
Indebtedness as S52,471.21 or re-
duction of Indebtedness of $35, ,351. 81
in one year. e. d. Anderson, public
accountant, who exported the books,
filed his report Sept. 20, 1914, just
three months before I retired from
office, and the bottom line Of that re.
port reads: Reduction of indebted
ness for nine months $37,O91.S7."
Your s72,o07.6O is correct, but is made
up of the balance of the chronic debt
and the running expenses for the year
1914 At that time we were on the
credit system and paid all our bills
with warrants, but there was due and
collectable the tax for 1914, which
would clean up this account and part
i, of the chronic debt also.
| Now, as to the Grand Rapids tax
affair: l was Judge; Wakefield and
budeman, commissioners; Walter
Ball, assessor; G. B. McCluskey, treas
urer; Bert Geer, sheriff; and Henry
Howell, clerk. Every one of these
men thought at that time that Lin
coin County received every dollar in
tax that was due her, as also did the
County Attorney. 1t was through these
men that the County Court received
its information and acted on their
Judgment. Henry Howell is in posses
sion Of all the documents and If there
is anything wrong he kept 1t under
his hat for long time. Does he say
there is anything wrong now?
Thanking you, remain,
Yours truly,
John Fosarty.
