.SILO FEEDING CUTS
FEEDING COSTS IN TWO
Union Experiment station Data
Gives Real Benefit To Oregon
Stockmen-Dairy Farmers
Also Reap Benefit

The silo is rapidly becoming re-
cognized as necessary part of
farm equipment in Eastern Oregon.
1t formerly was thought that the
silo was best adapted to dairy dis
tricts, but the experience OF lead
ing farmers throughout the Inland
Empire shows that Il is equally pro-
fitable for. range cattle and sheep
operators.
In Union county the cost OF fat
tenlng steers on ration OF hay and
ensilage has been found to be Just
one-half the cost OF hay ration
alone. Almost as outstanding re-
suits are obtained from feeding en-
silage to stock cattle being winter
ed. Many sheep men have found
that on the average two or three
tons of ensilage equals a ton OF hay
In feeding value. Ensilage increases
the livestock carrying capacity of
their land and reduces the cost of
livestock production.
Dairy farmers In Wallowa coun-
~ last year fed sunflower ensllage
and found that they could reduce
their cost OF production nearly one
half.
There are seventy silos In Wal
Iowa county this fall and on the
establishment OF county agent work
there were but three. There was
not a silo In klamath county until
last year when County Agent +. II.
Thomas persuaded one rancher TO
build one. This year there are fif-
teen new ones in Klamath county.
The county agent in Lakeyiew is
responsible for nine new silos In
that district which should prove as
valuable TO stockmen as those In
the other counties.
Union county leads Eastern Ore
gon In number OF sllos with 100.
These have all been constructed
since 1914.
Spreading knowledge OF the re-
suits obtained from feeding ensllage.
assisting new farmers In preparing
and feeding ensllage and aiding In
the selection and construction OF
sllos. are an important part OF the
work OF the county agents In East
ern Oregon.

stagnation OF business and possible
crop loss.
This important economy was
brought about through ordering CO.
operatiyely twenty-sevon tank car
loads OF dlstlllato from California
for use In tractors and trucks. with
harvest coming on, Umatilla county
farmers found that distlllate was
off the market In the Northwest
and they would probably have TO
turn TO gasoline for fuel. There
was also n serious gasoline shortage
and the situation looked bad.
The county agent, however. lo-
Gated n supply OF dlstillate In Cal
ifornia and as a result twenty-sey-
ON carloads were brought TO the
county. The total cost was s47,-
337.33. The same amount OF gaso-
lien would have cost 9.Osi.9O.
All the Umatilla county banks CO.
operated IN financing the shipment
and not a cent loss was incurred.
Other nearby counties did some
OF tho work on smaller scale,
The Sherman county agent handled
seven car loads OF dlstillate. saving
the farmers approximately $4,000,
In Morrow county five carloads
were brought in saving more than
$4,000. One carload OF distillats
was brought TO Union county at a

man. at is difficult to estimate
the saving on this shipment" says
County Agent Jackman. Most OF
the men would have been compelled
to burn gasoline which would cost
them $4,000 above the price OF the
distillate. In addition they could
only buy n barrel or two at a time
and often could get none at all.
Some farmers could only obtain
gasoline by shipping their drums
sixty-fiye miles and their return
was often delayed for many days
This delay during harvest would
have made continuous work impos-
sible. One OF the gasoline dealers
here says that had It not been for
the dlstillate few automobiles would
have been running during the har-
vest season.
Eastern Oregon county agents In
many counties are working on the
same project this year.

We ate. / would not by any means
desire that personal absence for al
most ifJy years should untwist. as 1t
usually Ques, he cords of friendship.
and possibly this IS one Of the rea-
sons that l want to strengthen my re-
membrance of them.
Mr.. Editor, l still hope that some
time IN the near future | may be able
to go With you up to that good old
home and have q private talk TO the
old folks, and get some ne" thoughts
about the good old days that are past
and gone.
There is no doubt that the main
thing in adding to the long life OF
usefulness, together with a good con-
stitut!on, is that these old people
have been temperate in all things,
and have lived up to good fab.,
And Just such lives is a shining ex-
ample Of honest work and Christian
love. In evidence to this they have
raised a set of useful children which
they have right to feel proud of.
st. Paul says that "Whatsoever a
man soweth. that shall he also reap
And he has no right ito expect any
thing better than what he sows.
May God add to their useful lives
many more annual reunions with their
children and friends. And in the end
a final reunion where crosses and all
earthly disappointnlents are felt no
more.
Most sincerely by your friend,
T. J. Wilson.

A PROTEST AND APPEAL
FOR JUSTICE AND RIGHT

Mr.. Editor: We are living, or at
least staying, IN the town Of Newber-
ry, ward five. Our alderman Is AR.
". H. 'Eardeman and 1 suppose ev-
cry reader Of The Herald and News
knows our mayor, the Hon. E. s.
Blease. I am in ward tive and have
been here for over twenty-one years.
/ own little home IN this notable
town and my little home IS IN the
west end of ward five.
We have fifteen or sixteen men
tax payers and we have been paying
taxes for all these many years, and
vet we are not recognized as human
beings. I understand our council
have received two streets and have
put up sign posts, too, at every cor
ner or cross street, and put them on
every street received or not received.
In fact they have put few posts
outside the town TO my knowledge.
I asked our alderman what he meant
by putting up sign posts outside the
town, and it seemed that he was sur
prised to know they were on the out
side. He also wanted to know if we
were getting our mail. as ked him
If he did not know that our houses
were not numbered, and that surpris-
ed him again. Now, Mr.. Editor and
readers, could tell you lot of other
things that are going on in our little
town, but will not at present, but l
/ will tell you this much, that our
notable town IS on the downward
march and unless things change we
are sure to march on downward. Cur
people are not right. We are too.
selfish, undermining, high-headed,
den't-care for ourselves or our neigh
bors, every man for himself, and that
is the way we are going. We hope
that every man that has duty to
perform will think little and try to
do what he is required to do. We
must go hand and heart together, if
We want to prosper.
Now 1 notice our mayor is suggest
ing that we raise 100000 more to
fix up more streets And where? In
the heart Of town. And here we are
paying taxes and getting nothing
all white, people and recognized by
none, from alderman to mayor. l
will promise the town this much,
had said I would not vote any more,
but if that next drive ever comes up
/ sure will vote one more time.
Also we must have a different mayor
and we have him spotted now.
hope the officers of our town will
consider little bit. ana think a little
bit for the people and not think all
for themselves. l could say more but
Will be silent for while and see how
things will go. I wish every one well
and hope we will have better times
in the future.
