Cut Down the Cost

Nearly half of the silos on the Un.
compahgre Project were not filled last
year and the reason given in almost
every case was that labor cost was
too high to make silage profitable.
Often this cost can be reduced con.
siderably by cooperative ownership
OF engines and silage cutters and an
exchange of work by silo owners.
Three men living close together with
silos to fill can often work together
to their mutual advantage.
One of the greatest Of labor savers
and cost reducers is being overlooked
by more than nine-tenths of the far
mers Of the project This is the tame
grass. irrigated pasture. II the testi-
mony Of pasture users that an acre
of pasture will produce as much feed
as an acre OF alfalfa at much lower
cost and keep stock in better con.
dition can be accepted. why are not
more pastures being seeded? AS a
matter Of fact pasture acreage IL in
creasing rapidly, the area in grass in
1918 having been NOR ethan multi
piled by three in 1920. Fourteen men
have signified to the writer their in
tention Of establishing pastures this
year and there are doubtless others
who expect to do so
Pasture grasses should not be seed
ed until late in the spring after dan.
ger Of frost Is past but land should
be prepared early and stirred occa-
sionally to destroy weeds. A little ex-
ira work in preparing the ground for
irrigation will save great deal of
work later in watering the pasture

Conservatives and ProsressIves


A business man who recenty re-
tnrned from France. was telling how
conservative people are in that coun-
trv and how they won't move. out OF
their old ruts. They are not very
strong on advertising. II a merchant
ia asked to use publicity methods. he
will often say, "If should advertise
and get more business, / would have
to enlarge my shop and put on more
help"
The hustling American business
man is Just the opposite. He is al
WAYS planning for the time when he
can branch out and handle more goods
which of course means occupying
more room and employing more he'll
pers.
That is one reason why American
prosperity has been so much greater
than the business success of the more
conservative nations OF Europe. 1t
also suggests why some business con-
Germs are stationary while others go
ahead. Some men do not have the
courage to branch out for bigger bust
ness. while others are constantly plan
ming for more trade. and they are
developing the advertising campaigns
that produce 1t.

SUGGESTS POLICE FOR

Budapest May 1G-The Women's
society of this city has asked the mu.

lice to arrest women who appear on
the streets wearing skirts with the
bottom more than % centimetres
(about 10 inChes) above the ground,
and to present the offenders in court
on charge of violating the sense Of

1t is proposed by the reformers that
the police carry metre sticks with
which to measure the height of skirts
from the ground, so that there viii
be no mistaken arrests
Countess Apponyi presided at the

and which also voted to boycott SOC

TEN PIN CHAMPIONSHIP
Legion Five standc Ready to Take
On" Cooper Estate Bowlers.

Editor Of the Banner
In answer to the articles inserted in
the paper by the Cooper Estate and
Green Tigers bowling teams the Amer
lean Legion bowling team would like
to state that they don't see where
there is any question on the part OF
the Cooper Estate and Green Tigers
teams in regard to the Legion claim
ing the ten pin championships. In the
first place the Cooper Estate were
eliminated in the Y. NJ. c. A. tourna.
ment. the Green Tigers winning the
cup and beating the Cooper Estate 6
out Of games during the series. The
Legion started too late to enter the
tournament but bowled practice
games with teams n the League
winning a majority of2such games. The
Legion issued a stand ng challenge
to the winners OF the Y. NJ c A..
tournament The series resulted in
the Legion nning two ont of three
games from the Green Tigers dnci-
dntally the Tigers were able TO take
only one out OF four games from the
lESlpll IL llIt pidNtltt game ~ lSui el
IN. So this would disprove the Tig
ers claim that they are the only
team having anything to show for the
games bowled. The Cooper Estate did
defeat the Legion before the Y. NJ. c..
A Tournament was ended. Their
claim would be similar 10 the Phila.
delphia Americans claiming the base
ball pennant because they defeated
the Cleveland Americans two stra ght
games once before the American
League race was over. After the
Legion-Green Tigers series, one Of the
members of the Cooper Estate ehal-
lenged the Legion to a series of three
games, which challenge was promptly
accepted by the Legion and arrange.
ments practically completed in regard
to the series. This was before the
Legion bowed the series W tn the X.
of c. Although the Legion agreed to
close its season with the X. OF {. ser
les, their acceptance OF this challenge
stil holds good.

during the first year of prohibition.
Mr.. Perry said that there were $500

care for dependent and neglected chill

year previous, and the criminal records
showed 26,142 less commitments TO

there has been a marvellous decrease
in criminal cases brought before the

as well enforced as the liquor laws
ever were, the difference living in the
