prepared By the United States Depart

ment Of Agriculture.)
The planting season is the time
when the dairy farmer should arrange
to see that he has crops enough to fill
his silo. AS a case in point, MissIs-
slppi farmer failed to take this matter
into consideration when he bought
ailo Of 90 tons capacity, for he found
that he had corn and sorghum for
only 20 tons of sllage; and since, more
over, he had only 8 cows, he decided
he had made a mistake, and tried to
sell his new silo instead Of setting 1t
up. A field man from the dairy divi-
sion Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture however, persuaded
him to keep 1t until the next year. and
TO put UP a small staye sil0 for imnie-
diate use. He did SO, and found II
such a help in feeding his cows cheap
" that he bought more land and re-
solved to enlarge his herd to 80 cows
and thus make good use of his larger
clio.
Both the height and the diameter
of the silo must be considered. The
proper diameter Of the silo depends
upon the quantity Of silage to be fed
daily; and this quantity win vary
with the size Of the herd. The silage
should be fed out fast enough to re
move 1t from the top Of the silo at the
rate Of Tx to 3 inches a day, depend
ing upon climatic conditions. The
warmer the weather the more sllage
must be removed from the surface
daily In order to prevent spelling, For
the winter feeding season 1t Is safer
to figure upon removing 2 inches daily
than any smaller amount.
A common error in building Is to
make the diameter too large for the
size Of the herd. The weight Of a
cubic foot Of silage varies according
to the pressure to which It is sub
jected, but In a silo 80 feet high the
weight per cubic foot averages about
40 pounds. So by knowing the guam
tity Of siIage to be fed daily, 1t is pos
sible to estimate what the diameter
OF the siI0 should be to permit the
removal of a certain number Of inches
each day. The table below shows the
proper diameter Of the silo, on basis
Of 40 pounds OF silage per cubic foot,

Numer OF animals that may
BIO fed, allowing

A 900-pound COW ordinarily con-
sumes 80 pounds Of silage day, and
1,20O-pound one about 40 pounds.
Yearlings eat about one-half as much
as mature animals; fattening cattle,
% to IS pounds for each 1000 pounds
live weight.
It happens, sometimes, that siI0
Is not wholly filled, because there Is
not enough corn planted for silage,
and there are not enough OF other
crops make up the deficiency. The
amount Of silage that may be OBJ
tanned from an acre Of corn varies
from A to 20 tons. A fair allowance
on average land is tons per acre.
Hence for a Cotton silo it might be
well to plant 8 or 10 acres Of corn.
It is by all means best to lay out
land enough in silage crops to I'LL the
giIo to the very top; and IL there Il
any doubt about how much viii be-
needed, to allow a margin Of safety,
remembering that the season may cut
down the yield Of this as wen as Of
other crops. On the other hand, II
there is too much corn Or sorghum
to 90 into the sllos the excess can be
cut as dry fodder, and other crops
can be made into hay.

HARDING WANTS
TARIFF BILL TO

Gardner Will Be Com.
missioner of Pen.
sions.

Washington. March 21.-Presi-
dent Harding suggested today to
Chairman Fordney that the house
ways and means committee sound
out the senate Republicans az to
the feasibility of early passage of
an emergency tariff that would
take care of farmers.
The proposal was discussed at
length, but it was said the COM
mfttee reached no definite conclu-
sion. 1t was the idea of the presi-
dent. members said, to avoid an
embargo and to limit the bill to a
very few items, including wheat
and wool.
President Harding is said tc
have decided to appoint Washing.
ton Gardner Of Albion, Mich, q for.
mer member Of the house of repre-.
sentatfves and a union veteran, q,
commissioner of pensions.

in the 65th Ohio infantry, and wa.

Two of the girls dropped out at the

The boys and girls were to return

Mrs. Emma Adams, promised to do
her best to save the party from

But before they left town there

one warning: Don't 60 on the

Under one of the cottages, in mid
afternoon, someone saw an old
canoe. Someone else suggested a
ride. It is probable that an argu-
ment, in which the warning was
mentioned, followed.
II don't know why we went out,

TONS OF DEBRIS
CLEARED away

Chicago, March 81. Wrecking
crews today started work clearing
away the tons Of debris scattered
by the explosion on Saturday night
in the elevator of the Armour
Grain company on One Hundred
Twenty-second street. south. under
which the bodies OF four victims
are believed to be concealed. The
two known dead were blown out OF
the structure by the blast. which
was heard and felt across Lake
Michigan.
The grain loss was placed at
about $1,000, 900 by E. A. James.
secretary of the company, who said
that it was believed the other 3d.
000, 900 worth of grain in the con-
crete bins could be salvaged.
Weeks will be required, it was
said, to clear away the mass of
twisted steel and concrete, and
clear the channel of the Calumet
river which was almost blocked by
the spilled grain.
Two theories of the cause Of the
explosion were advanced by John
X. Thompson, engineer, who was in
charge Of the construction of the
huge elevator when it was built
last year. One was that the ex-
plosion was due to spontaneous
combustion, possibly in the drying
room. which was the view general
" held. The other was that high
ly explosive mixture Of humid air
and grain dust was ignited by q
spark, possibly from a watchman'a
cigaret.
Police and officials of the COM
pany declared they placed little
credence in q theory that the ex-
plosion might have been caused by
q dissatisfied employee.

pany elevator, wrecked by an ex'
plosion ON Saturday night, thus

PLANS FOR AID
OF FARMER ARE
BEING STUDIED
Embargo Of No Auail
Unless Freight Rates
Decline.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
fCnANsol e. Wh~ A.-,

NOROSA0A W u0 k1KUS.y
Washington, March 10 Presi-
dent Harding and his cabinet have
determined after a long discussion
OF the agricultural situation
throughout the country to study
specifically these methods of relief:
First: The use Of war powers of
the executive to embargo importa-
tions OF wool, meats, cotton and
other products which are coming
into the United. States in such guam
titles at present as to keep prices
from rising to the pre-war normals,
below which they have gone in re-
cent months.
Second: The more extensive use
OF the war finance corporation to
finance farming industries. Con-
ferences are planned between Sec
retaries Hoover and Wallace of the
commerce and agricultural depart
ments, and Eugene Meyer of the
war finance corporation at which a
policy of finance will be formulat-
ed and laid before President Hard
ing for approval.
Third: The enactment of emerg-
ency tariff legislation later to re-
place the embargoes because the
president is reluctant to use war
powers any longer than necessary
and a tariff wall is considered much
more scientific than an embargo in
controlling the influx of foreign
commodities.
WIN Be Stop.Gap.
From present indications, the
embargo will be used as a stop-gap
until the tax bill has been consid-
cred by congress and that body is
ready to tackle tariff legislation.
Convincing arguments have been
made to Mr.. Harding which for the
moment make it look as II he would
favor the enactment of the Ford
ney emergency tariff law in exactly
the same form as it was passed by
congress last session only to re-
ceive a Wilson veto. Those who
favor such course say that gen
eral tariff bill must be indefinitely
postponed until after tax laws are
made and further data IL available
as to the cost Of production around
the world. 1t is recognized that this
Is q period Of readjustment and
that a tariff law passed now may
have to be revised within a year
owing to economic factors over
which this country has no control
! Forced to Front.
! The significant thing that stands
out in the events of the last two
days is that agriculture has forced
its way to the front and that the
Harding administration which
pledged itself to help the farmer
is trying to make good that pledge

ATTERbURY HAS
WITNESS STAND
Railroad Head Says Executives
Labor Committee Disbanded
at His Suggestion.

Chicago, March 21.-W. W. At
terbury. vice president of the Penn
sylvania railroad, was the first
witness called today when Frank
P. Walsh, attorney for labor unions
resumed his questioning Of rail-
road officials before the railroad la
Dor board.
Mr.. Atterbury, answering Mr..
Walsh's questions, explained the
dissolution of the labor committee
of the Association of Railroad Ex-
ecutives, and said the committee
disbanded at his suggestion be-
cause its work was completed and
because it seemed to be placing the
roads in a false light.
1T apparently was causing the
unions to believe that the roads
were organizing nationally to fight
labor" he said.
Mr.. Walsh asked questions about
many railroad organizations, but
Mr.. Atterbury disclaimed knowl-
edge of most Of them.
Mr.. Atterbury was chairman OF
the labor committee, succeeding
Carl Gray, president Of the Union
Pacific, when the latter resigned
after Mr.. Atterbury's minority re-
port opposing national boards OF
adjustment was adopted. by the in
dividual roads and thus became the
majority report.
