Plan Camp for
the Farm Boys
of How 81 Boys of Two
Counties Will be Given
Six-Day Vacation

fFrom the MAY Farm Bureau News
The Farm Bureau of Roosevelt
county. in cooperation with the
Farm Bureau of Valley county, is
planning a six-day agricultural short
course and recreation camp for farm
boys in the various communities IN
the counties.
Roosevelt county will send 26
bows and Valley county 80. The
camp will be held in Valley county
this year at Glasgow, and at some
point in Roosevelt county next year.
The dates for the camp are June 70
to July 3, inclusive.
Bows from IL to 16 years of age
in every part of the county will be
given permission to make out appli-
cation for this camp. And the boys
that finally go will be selected by
lot, thereby giving every boy an
equal opportunity to go to the camp.
It would be impossible to accomo-
date all who would desire to go and
this plan is taken in order to select
the boys without favoritism.
The camp will be financed by the
different communities sending boys,
each community giving $500 for
each boy sent. A $500 registration
fee is to be paid by the boy for en-
tering the camp. Transportation
will be furnished and the various
communities and towns in the coun-
ty will be asked to furnish t%ranspor-
tation for the boys to and from the
camp.
The following allotment is made
for Roosevelt county.

FARM BUREAU MEMBERS
CONSTRUCT HOMEMADE SILOS

(From the May Farm Bureau News)
Several homemade silns have haen
constructed in the county. These
are giving satisfactory results at a
smaller cost than some of the silos
now offered for sale.
o. H. Ledum is one of the happy
-possessors of a homemade silo. In
1918, he built a wooden hoop silo
from government plans, with the adj
dition of paper between hoops and
inside sheathing. The silo was also
sheathed up on the outside of the
hoops, making a double wall with an
air space as a protection against
frost. His statement follows:
"The cost of material for this silo
is about one-half of the price asked
for double-walled silos by some deal
ers.
"The first year 1913, filled the
silo before the roof and outside
sheathing was on. The silage came
out in good shape.
"The 1919 crop put in the silo is
perfect and I am well satisfied with
the wooden-hoop silo. The con-
struction is very simple, so any
handy man can put one up.
GAS to the feeding value of silage,
I think by feeding 40 pounds of sill
age per day, the hay used will be re-
duced so per cent as compared with
no silage. 1t is very easy to handle
and is an excellent feed for the dairy
cows"

1t is said the ma nagement of the
Baltimore and Ohio is preparing to
place large order for steel rails and
that the operating department is now
at work on it's possible needs for the
coming year The first order may be
for 10000 tons. which at the existing
price for rails will aggregate nearly
81 100000. This company as well as
many of the other railroad system
have been holding off in placing these
orders with the expectation that the
price of the rails might be reduced
The announcement OF the United
states Steel Corporation that il would
make no reduction at this time has
probably FASTENED the railroads in
making up their rail requirements
The Pennsylvaniania recently placed
"a large order OF over $4,000 tons. part
of which will be- rolled by the Bethlc-
