At the present time there is per-
haps no farm Improvement being con-
sidered by o farmers than the silo.
It is7also true that the subject Of silos
and silage is one which to many is
very complicated and vague. In many
good reasons for the consideration Of
this really important farm Improve
ment.
It is realized that there nus be a
change froRR the strictly one-crop sys-
tenn to a o diversified one., That
such a change 10 necessary there are
very few who will not admit. The three
year average Of wheat without the ef-
feet OF crop rotation on the I. H. G..
farm was II bushels per acre. after
the rotation became effective the five
year average is "a bushels. and four
OF these years averaged near 30 BUSH
els. If grain farming remains profit
able 1t will be because crops are rotat-
ed and the farmers of the Northwest
engage in stock raising more extern
sively. Where stock are kept the
farming is carried on with less diff

That such a practice is valuable Is
proven by the fact that old fields,

often nearly double their former yield.
Many farmers resort to- summer fallow
to secure this same. benefit. Growing

results as summer following. and the

CLOSING THE SCHOOLS.

1t would be interesting to know
how many country schools in North
Dakota have been closed, or are ON
the verge Of being closed, through the
benign influence Of the Bank Of North
Dakota.
The school treasurer has sent his
money to the state bank, as he was
expected to do. He supposed it was
there for safe keeping. to be drawn
as needed for the purposes Of the dis
trict- He writes a check for the
teachers salary, and the check pres-
emily back, dishonored. The
teacher needs the money. Tho funds
of the district are locked up.
There r many cases Of this kind.
In some ase teachers have simply
quit the job, quite naturally. In 9TH
ers, treasurers have advanced the
money. paying cash out of their own
pockets. in order to keep the school
running. Sometime they will be paid.
The district can levy moro taxes to
c these obligations, but it takes
time to get taxes into the treasury. In
the meantime, everybody has to wait
This is but one of the effects Of the
policy that has been pursued. 1t is
but n of the hundreds of demonstra-
tons Of the fact that the Bank OF
North Dakota should never have been
started; that, if started, it should have
been placed in hands which would

that. having been started and con-
Quoted as it has been. it should be
abolished at the earliest possible mo-

muntty a be Judged By the numhc,
of silos on the horizon, just as an oil
district may be known by the number
Of derricks in USE"
The silo, in the strictest sense OF
the word. Is a conservator of farm
resources. 1t has been shown in
many experiments that practically 40
per cent OF the value of the corn crop
Is wasted when the stalks are lefty
in the field. 1t is also known by all
who feed corn fodder that there is al
most SO per cent waste in feeding this
forage. and when all the crops grown
on the farm are sold, and not fed, the
land eventually becomes depleted.
The Silo Essential to the Northwest.
There is perhaps no region where
the silo will prove more valuahlel than
on the northern edge of the Corn
Belt. There is no question but that
this region will, in the near future,
keep a great many more cattle. Tha
winters make it necessary to pre-.
serve a large amount of feed in con-
venient form. for carrying the cattle
through tho winter months.
From our experience on the /. II. G..
Farms during the past three winters,
we are satisfied that the corn crop
put into the silo and fed out will give
us from two to four times as much
feed IS If fed as dry fodder. We also
find that a small amount Of silage will
keep the stock in. good shape, and
with straw or other coarse roushaEa
they will come through in good.
thrifty condition. For these reasons
the silo is cssentia! to this region.
IT is not really a. question of whether
4 a. with is or 20 head Of cattle
to winter can afford a silo or not. The
facts are that he cannot afford to he
without me-. There is no question
that within a very few years the silo
Will be a part of the farm improve
iaents on every farm. Many farmers
who have had experience with a silo
say that they r satisfied that they
lost the cost Of = silo every year that
they did no have one. That is. they
have found it essential to grow a cul-
hvated crop, and there is no crop that
will take the place of corr in the rota-
ton for this purpose. 1t is also true
That IN order to get the full valuet
out OF the corn crop it must be fed
to live stock, and that with the silo
for putting this corn into. there is
enough added profit every year to
practically pay for the silo used.
The Stlo Not . New Invention.
The use of the silo for preserving
all kinds Of crops for cattle feeding is
not now. The principle Of the silo
has been in use by the Old World
farmers for more than n hundred
years. They used mostly the pit va
rlety. that is, holes or trenches dug in
the ground and plastered. In these
the tops OF beets and other coarset
parts OF plants were packed for win
ter feeding. In this country the real
use OF the silo was not begun until 40
or SO years ago, but since that time
there has been a very rapid increase
IN this method Of saving feed. It's
development has Shown that it means
almost as much to the cattle feeder
as does improved machinery to the
grain farmers.
what silass Is. will be discussed in
a succeeding article
