FARMERS COLUMN
SILO PROVES VERY
 GOOD INSETMENT

ture urges farmers everywhere to construct more and moro silos. Invariably they prove good investments and provide an excellent winter feed at smaller cost than any other sort of feed yet discovered Williams and Coconino county now have a positive. proof of what a silo will do ir this country. w. F. Thomasson of Red Lake Valley, constructed the first silo to be built in Co., conino county-so far as can be learned last year. He tried feeding the ensilage to cattle horses, hogs, chickens and sheep. Without fail, the farm animals ate the feed with great zesit. They cleaned it up as tho it were green grass from the meadow. All of the animals grew sleek and fat on the feed.
 MT. Thomasson gave the feed a test in fattening steers, that should prove of great value to farmers in this vicinity. He bought steers at a pretty high price and fattened them mak- ing nice profit on the steers in spite of the high price paid for thefeeders. Figures of this test will be given on thia page of the News, next week. Every farmer interested should watch for these figures and then take a pencil and paper and do little figuring for him. self.
 The sheep which MT. Thom- asson tested, were three SUD- piled him by Fletcher By merely for experimental pur-.. poses. All three grew fat on the feed and MT. By is now fig uring on the cost of providing ensi1age for helping his sheep thru the winter.
 The silo constructed by MT. Thomasson is of the 'spit" varity That is the varity that is con- structed below the ground. It is 10 .1-2 feet in diameter. and 24 1-2 feet deep. It cost exactly S352.5O for construc- ton. A fraction over three acres of corn was required to fill it. Its capacity. is esti- mailed at from 45 to 50 tons.
 u is amusing to note that when MT. Thomasson was con. structing this silo, he was ad- vised that it would take over a. hundred acres of corn to fill it. Knowing little of what would be required, himself, he finally planted twenty acres of corn for filling the silo. This proved to be six times as much as was required. fl
 The silo was constructed by digging a hole, the required depth and then walling it up with solid concrete. The en- silage is removed with derrick pole and boom equipped with block and tackle and employing horse power.
 So well pleased is MT. Thomasson with the results ob- tained that he has already ordered cement and a cement mixer for constructing two more silos this year. It is that many other silos will be built by other farmers. Every farmer in this section have one of these at least. slIia. ai 3tcaas,tsi

The storm of Friday added some what to the snow covered area but abundant sunshine and con- tinued high winds again caused it's rapid disappearance.

age for the season. Wet and cool weather have hindered blowing and planting but botE, are now active even in the mountain sections. Frosts have done much injury to fruit, apples only giving any promise of crop. In the lower valleys high winds and cool nights have retarded the development of cotton which is from two to three weeks behind normal. Germination has been slow owing to the rapid drying of the soil and for this reason some further replanting may be necessary. It is expected that planting will be completed this week. The first cutting of alfalfa is now progressing in the Salt River Valley and the crop IS said to be excellent.

TOTSFIND OLDSANTA CLAUS IN SPIRIT IF NOT IN FLESH

Lhey were two little frecISle-faced slfls In faded red sweaters. hot and uusty and very tired. Their little faces shone With beads of perspiration as Uey trudged into the lobby of the Adams hotel, and they clasped each other tightly by the hand and hung their heads in confusion as many eyes turned their way. But fatigue and confusion were alike forgotten when me big tree met their gaze. They wood there with wide eyes and pink feheeSs and looked and looked.

 Maybe Santa Claus brought it. Maybe he'll come tonightZ" There was a world of anticipation in the words.
 But the older child shook her head. No. There ain't no Santa Claus" she answered, in tone of finality. Let's sit down here and look at it some more"
 She climbed up into one of the big leather chairs and the small sister climbed up beside her--two little Red Hldinghoods, intent>on getting their fill of the lovely tree.
 Don't you believe in Santa Claus?" was asked
 No,' said the older. with a quick ~ shake of the head; we don't"
 But tho younger looked up with a shy determination to be heard. T b'lieve in him." she whispered. "He never comes to our house cause we're too poor, mamma says-but some time he will Maybe tonight"

 Late. It was then 2 o'clock and the presents were not to be distributed till after '. Wouldn't they get tired of waiting?
 Oh. no; they could sit there all the time and look at that pretty tree. Every time they looked they saw something differently something a little more wonderful than they had ever seen before.
 Gan we get anything off the tree we want, with our ticket?" asked Doris, with a calculating eye on a great bag of candy. But just at this point Blanche thrust her chubby hand into her sweater pocket and let out wall of anguish. She had forgotten the tickets. Doris was too transfixed with horror to do more than just look. The tickets which had meant so much to them, and which were to entitle them to goodies from the tree, had been left at home in the excitementof getting awsy. Tears welled into Blanche's eyes and her little mouth quivered. T didn't mean to forget 'em," sch sobbed. | It was then that Santa Claus began to show himself to them. Men sitting | in nearby chairs leaned forward and money appeared as if by magic-money for car fare home to get the tickets, and money for candy to eat on the way. Their hands were far too small to hold all the nickel sand dimes, and they began to store the money away in their pockets.
 Doris took it all with suppressed joy as became the eldest of a family, but emotional little Blanche could not con trol herself.
 Santa Claus is coming. Santa Claus is coming!" she cried. Lets run home and get our tickets, and give mamma all this money-its real money, isni it2" as if it were too good to be true When answered that it was, and tha Santa Claus would surely visit then in one way or another, she was radiant
