SHOULD PUT UP
SILOS IN GOOD YEARS
Many Silage Crops Failed Last Year
Wise Men Will Make Silage
When the Sun Shines.

In general the corn crop throughout
the state was below normal this year
and many farmers and dairymen are
selling their herds on account of the
shortage of this most valuable feed.
1t is common to hear the remarks, 81
planted enough corn this year to fill
two silos the size of mine, but, as
it was, | only filled one about one
third full"
1t does not take a mathematician
to figure where the dairyman is GO
ing to lose money on his cows
when he has only one-third enough
ensilage to carry him through the
winter. 1t is true the past year was
an exceptional year, nevertheless ex-
ceptions will happen. "Why not turn
the joke" says VIM. Spangler, dairy
man from the Colorado Agricultural
College. "and fill two silos instead on
one when we have a good year? Then
when the exceptional year comes
around there will be plenty of ensilage
and no one will be forced to sell a
part or all of that dairy herd which we
have been building up for many gene
rations. Ensilage, if put up right,
will keep almost indefinitely. Ensil-
age that had been put up several years
ago would come in handy in many
sections of Colorado this winter"

to go merrily on, wrecking the views
of his party chief, Mr.. Wilson as well
as the other members of the cabinet.
On the same day that word came from
the White House that President Will
son was taking deep interest" in
the proposed loan of $150,000,00O to
Austria and other foreign countries,
Secretary Alexander in an address in
New York City warned against the
continuance of such loans. In fact he
did not stop at mild language. Ex-
haustion of Americas resources is not
improbable, he said, "if we would fur
nish other countries with money by
which to exploit trade" Alexander.
Glass and Wilson had better hold a
conference SO their stories will gibe.
The only difference between Mr.. Alex
ander's views and those of the major
ity of the present administration of
ficials is, that he shows signs of be-
heving in a policy of nationalism
while the others have only shown
signs of interest when some interna-
tional question took the center of the
spotlight.

How About This?

Under the League covenant ANY
circumstance whatever" which threat
ems to disturb the peace may be TAX
en- cognizance of by the council or as
sembly. Does the refusal of Holland
to deliver up the kaiser constitute such
threat, and is the league to take
military measures to enforce the de
mands of the former supreme council ?
At any rate the United States is free
from the controversy, for which every
American should feel devoutly thank
full.

the people were giving their money

money as was needed was being vast

J. Graham, chairman of the House
subcommittee which has been investi-
eating the question of waste at the
government powder plant built at Nj
tro, West Virginia, near Charleston.
Stating that conditions were bad
enough in other places of a similar
nature which the committee has in
vestigated, he said that none were as
bad as they were at Nitro. There is
no doubt about it," he said, there
was a purpose on foot to waste the
governments money at Nitro, and it
was wasted" An answer is awaited
from the War Department on this and
many other cases of similar nature
upon which Newton ID. Baker has chos-

CLING TO OLD OBSERVANCE
Centuries, Delight In Their Little
Epiphany Cakes.

Norman cities and towns that have
for centuries perpetuated their quaint
observance of the Epiphany bake and
eat their little cakes with Joyful
hearts. The custom Is ancient and
charming, an affair of children and
colored lanterns parading the streets
Of ancient towns and singing an an
Client song in piping voices; and where
they go. well-disposed citizens open
their doors and distribute cakes. En-

gradually gone out. but here and there

Of Paris, which. after proper deiibera-

cooks. In 1740. one does not know
why. the privilege was taken away
from the pastry cooks and given the

Of both, but if the husband does not
include his wife's income, the wife is
required to file her own return. Sep
.arate returns of husband and wife are
required if either had a net income
exceeding $4,000.
A married woman who lives with
her husband is not allowed prescrib-
ed exemption. She and her husband
have $4,000, plus 5000 additional for
each dependent; and this exemption
may be taken by either or divided in
any manner between them.
A woman who was widowed during
1919 may claim exemption for the
full wear, on the basis of her status
as of December the 31st.
A wife, whose husband is in sani-
tarium or temporarily working in an
other city, and is separated from him
through necessity, should not consider
her status as living apart from her
husband. But if there is voluntary
continuous separation, whether or not
granted by court decree, each must
take the status Of single person

WHAT THE DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE is DOING

At no time have the wage rates of
farm labor been as high in this coun-
try as they were in 1919, certainly as
far back 2s 1866 when the first inves-
tigation Of this subject was made by
the Bureau of Crop Estimates, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Averages for the United States are in
mind, and not loca lrates. For labor
hired by the month with board, the
average rate was $39.S2, and among
the geographic divisions the average
was as low as $30.54 in the South At
lantic and as high as $G296 in the
Western, including the Mountain and
Pacific States. Without board, the
average for the United States was
5000, and the lowest was $4l.O3 in
the Sout hAtlantic States and the
highest, %S7.l2, in the Western. Ex-
tras, such as Grcwood. milk, etc, are
not included.
Harvest wages per day wit board
reached the top figure Of $1.l8 in the
North Central states west Of the Mis-
sissippi River and Tho lowest figure Of
$2.28 in the South Atlantic, and the

Meat Animals in Combinations.


Tho keeping of cattle and of swine
appear to be almost inseparablc opera
tions. This fact is being brought out
in the returns of the "Better Sires-
Better Stock" crusade of the agricul-
tural collegcs the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and coopcrat
ing agencies. This general practice
has long been known, bat much more
definite information is being gather
ed, and the purpose is to extend it to
such an extent as to determine the re-
lationships among all meat animals.
If nearly every man who keeps cat
tie also keeps hogs, and if nearly
every man who keeps hogs also keeps
cattle, the inevitable conclusion is that
The combination pays, especially when
purcbred sircs are used. But it re-
mains to be determined what are the
most common and the best paying pro-
portions. The same thing applies also
to combinations of cattle and sheep,
or swine and sheep, or cattle and
sheep and swine. One benefit of the
work will be that it will enable the
man of small personal experience to
avail himself Of the wide experience
of a great number of men in working
out the combinations Of meat animals
