THE SILO IS A Big BANK
E. L. Luther, Superintendent
State Farmers Institutes

Every farmer in Wisconsin who
owns a silo can consider himself the
president and board of directors of a
first class bank A bank is an insti-
tuition for the secure storage of val
uables; silage is valuable. A bank
not only keeps its patrons funds safe
ly but returns them with interest; so
'does silo return not only the value
of the corn put nto it, but enables the
owner to dispose of it far above the
market price. A bank is source of
help in times of financial stress; so is
silo, when feed is scarce As an
investment, bank returns profits on
the money put into il; as the sole
stakeholder in a silo, the farmer will
find it one Of the best investments he
ever made.
Wisconsin has about 10000 siIos
with a total capacity of about ten
million tons of silage. Assuming So
per ton as the feed value of silage,
the deposits in these rural banks of
the state amount to $50,000,000. Here
is one of the rocks which forms the
solid foundation of Wisconsin's pre-
mier position in dairying for accord
ing to Professor R. S. Hulce of the
Department of Animal Husbandry of
the University of Wisconsin, the silo
is essential for successful dairying.
The only way that the state can main
tain its high position of the producer
of go per cent fthe nations cheese
and 20 per cent of the butter in the
face of increasing production costs,
is for every one of the $50, 900 dairy
farms to operate at least one silo and
as many more as are necessary.
According to the State Dairy and
Food Commissioner, j. f. Emery, no
silage is ever wasted in hits state
"We need more silos," says Commits
sioner Emery, "for our pastures are
inadequate for summer feeding, and
silage affords the only practical in
surance against such shortage. At
least 80 per cent of Wisconsin's corn
goes into silage--if the proportion
were rs per cent, it would be better"
A silo is an indication of good farm
ing ability. The best farmers in ev-
cry locality are likely TO have the
best land the best cows, the best farm
plan. In Pennsylvania it has been
found that dairymen owning silds got
nineteen pounds more butter fat per
COW and $3.50 more income per year
than those who got along without
them. Perhaps the silos weren't re-
sponsible for it all, but figures talk.
Wisconsin farmers are among the most
progressive in the country, and when
both their pride and their pockekt-
book are concerned, no one can get
ahead Of them. To add $4,000, 900 to
the deposits in the farmers bank"
of the state is not too much of Job
10000 silos filled with ensiled corn
will do it. There is still time
Last summer, 1921, was dry. In
stead Of putting money into the bank
hundreds of dairy farmers had to
draw it out to pay for forage for their
stock. This forage bill ran into the
millions of dollars. II was a great
corn season too. But much of the
crop went to waste in corn stalks.
Let's not let this happen again. Put
money into the bank by banking your
corn crop in silos.

VIROQUA BEATS LAFARGE

The Viroqua Legion ball team and
Calhoon's LaFarge nine crossed bats
at the fair grounds on the afternoon
Of Dedication day with disastrous re-
suits for the latter, Viroqua winning
ii to 3. LaFarge used three pitchers
to stop the victorious march of our
sluggers, but without avail, our team
connecting with 13 hits. Pet Nor
rison hurled for the home team and
sure had one of his blue days, being
touched for nine hits, but the support
behind him was very good. The game
opened good for Viroqua, Pat Garin
singing and Bunny scoring him from
first on a sacrifice bunt. Lad Garin
connected with a slow one for a most
beautiful circuit smash. Hastings and
Williams got two-base hits.
That fine old veteran, Rey Calhoon,
was the life fthe LaFarge team.
Much of their support was very rag
ged, but Ray got everything that came
his direction, and connected with three
hits out of four times up. They had
picked up travelling salesman to play
short, and he certainly put up a fine
game, also pitching the last three
innings.
The detailed score follows;

BUD TEAM GETS REVENGE

The Bud BAH team went to Bloom
ingdale last Sunday and defeated that
team 10 to land thereby avenged
the defeat which they sustained at the
hands of Sordahl, the Asbury pitcher,
in the Bloomingdale tournament two
weeks ago. Bloomingdale started APP
pleman on the mound but he permit
ted two scores in the opening inning
and was retired in favor of Sordahl.
But the Budites were able to solve his
delivery and hit him hard. Andrew
Thompson got four hits out of five
times up, one three Dagger. Pete
Volden hurled fair game for Bud,
but the rough ground and consequent
errors on both sides accounted for
many of the scores.
Next Sunday, Bud has real game
on its hands when DahPs Fords, the
strongest amateur team in LaCross
comes down to cross bats with them,
and good crowd should turn out for
this game.

Washington, August 25--Gasoline
is getting better instead of worse. u.
S. Bureau Of Mines tests this years
motor fuel is on the average much
more volatile than that sold two years
ago. A comparison for several years
shows that it is also becoming more
uniform In character. The large sea-
sonal change is disappearing, but
winter gasoline" still has lower in
itial boiling point than Summer gas
oline." This difference volatility is
made Intentionally to facilitate start
ing the motor in cold weather. AL
though the average for the whole
country does not show much change
from year ago, some distant changes
have been found in samples from in-
cities.

What is this fight all about--a po-
litical light such as never before has
been witnessed in this state? Is it
the giants of wealth trying to hold
down the mass of people in fear that
they might overthrow their domination
thru organizations and become indie
pendent in what they possess and pro-
duce?
Is it the millions they have made
they are bound not TO sacrifice but to
saddle further burden upon those
whom they have made them from?
1t seems that is what it is to be,
as the committee of "A, apparently a
political machine made up by the big
interests, railroads and other monopo-
lies of wealth, have taken it upon
their shoulders to fight those who are
fighting for YOU So we can readily
see the reason why this great politi-
cal machine is waging this great fight
against this one man, Robert NJ. La
Toilette, who has long fought for the
rights fthe people.
Now, let US ask ourselves another
question or so. Why did they change
Rev. w. A. Garfield to w. A. Gan
field and finally some of the big trust
news papers got it down to Big Bill
Garfield? Think of it, from Rev.
down to Big Bill. And why did they
change from Republican to Independ-
emit Progressive Republican? What
is this all about (even some putting
themselves up as Prohibitionists)
Perhaps this will answer some of the
above questions. Down in Sheboygan
some time ago there were several
thousand people gathered to hear
Robert M. LaFollette and few night
before one fthe bunch of the COM
mittee of "a managed to gather a
crowd of 20 people to attend his meet
ing. But it is too bad this poor fell
low didn't give a free movie show.
1t might have gotten larger crowd.
But let us be serious about this
and not be misinfluenced or misled by
some old time home boss or political
crank who does not care to be inform
ed. Go TO the poles on September 9th
and vote Progressive Republican which
means Progressive legislation for the
mass o fthe people and not for a few
individuals.

DE SOTO MOVES FOR
POOL WAREHOUSE

A large and enthusiastic meeting
OF those interested in the tobacco pool
warehouse proposition was held at the
village hall at DeSoto Monday even
ing, August %. Nearly 500 people
mostly tobacco growers within a ra-
dius Of 20 miles, representing 500
acres, assembled to discuss the situa-
ton and make arrangements to accom-
modate the needs of their territory.
Pres. Jens Davidson of Westby, Pres.
OF the Board of Directors of the
Northern Wisconsin Tobacco Pool adj
dressed the gathering and a general
discussion was entered into.
It was pointed to especially that
DeSoto, as the marketing point for
this tributary territory, with its loca-
ton on the main line of the c. B. 4 O.
and county trunk and other roads cen
tering here should by all means have a
warehouse fprconveniencet to the grow
er. 1t was also stated that DeSoto
having hotel and rooming accommo-
dations for over 100 workmen was am
ply able TO conduct such a warehouse.
and Ideally located to handle the l.
900 pounds of weed in this terri
tory.
After full discussion, a vote was
taken, and the rising vote showed a
unanimous sentiment for location of
such warehouse in DeSoto. Sub
scriptions were Immediately solicited
and in a few minutes $1,000 was SUBJ
scribed and assurance given that this
amount would be doubled if necessary.
1t was voted that a record of this
meeting be sent The Board of Direct
ors of the Pool whit the petition that a
warehouse be located at DeSoto with
the above guarantee. A fine site on
the side track fthe G. B. & @. was
offered for location. A committee of
seven men from village and surround
ing territory was appointed as a gen.
eral arrangements committee.
