<ssg..3 nesota's Most Efficient Servant

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept 8-As re-
suit of a premature promise to make
radical changes in the State High
way department if he is elected Gov
ernor, Floyd Olson, Farmer-Labor
candidate has placed himself in a
most embarrassing position.
Mr.. Olson made the assertion that
one of his first official acts would be
to discharge c.. M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner, and supplant
him with John w. Shaffer, Hennepin
county surveyor.
When this fact was noised abroad,
friends of Mr.. Babcock all over the
state rushed their protests to Farm
|er-Labor headquarters in Minneapo-
Ills, and as at least half of the protests
came from Olson votes, the situation
was a grave one.
To quiet the turmoil, Mr.. Olson is
sued statement declaring that he
had made no such promise, and when
the friends of Mr.. Shaffer heard
about that, they Immediately charged
on the Farmer-Labor candidate and
compelled him to repudiate his own
denial with the story that the state
ment had been prepared without his
knowledge or consent.
As it now stands, Mr.. Olson means
to discharge Mr.. Babcock and give
his place to Mr.. Shaffer. He. has
promised it and he will not be al
lowed to go back on his word. Al
though the complications as herein
Iset forth have destroyed the conf
Idence Of many unattached voters in

Mrs. Elnora Silvernail Passed

Mrs. Elnora Silvernail, mother of

passed away at the Long Prairie hos

came to Sank Centre with the Davlses
with whom she made her home.
The funearl was, held from the

lcribs. Such corn stored in this man
ner would become moldy and sour
and unfit for use. - = ! 80. g
Therefore, the problem of storing
soft corn in such a manner as to save
the indications are that consider
able portion of the corn crop will be-
affected by early frost.
The best method of saving it is to.
store it in a silo. By taking this
method it will be just as good as
ever for feeding stock. Converting
soft corn into silage can save thous--
andsands of dollars for farmers in
every community this fall. In adj.
dition to the saving of the crop.
which would otherwise be lost the
farmer who has not now a silo.
should consider the advantages of ST.
10 feeding.
] An interesting study was conduct
ed in six-cow-testing associations in
southeastern Pennsylvania during
the years 1920 and 1921. The
herds were divided into two classes
according to whether the cows re-
ceived silage or not. The study in
Guided over 1000 cows and the figures
were carefully computed from the
cowtesting association records.
1t was found that the average milk
production for. the 6S4 cows receiv-
ing silage was 7S41 pounds while for
the 800 cows receiving no silage the
milk production was only 6607
pounds per year. The silage cows
produced on the average 268 pounds
of butterfat during the year while
the cows receiving no silage produced
an average of only 238 ponds. This
shows an increase of 1884 pounds of
milk and 80 pounds of butterfat for
each cow receiving silage as COM
pared with those receiving no silage.
After the feed bills were all paid
it. was found that each COW receiv-9
ing silage had returned $128.52
above the cost of the feed, while the
cows receiving no silage returned
but $95.93. This was an additional
profit of $32. 500 for each receiving
silage.
From this it will be seen that a
silo will quickly pay for it's cost in
I the saving of feed and the greater
profit from stock raising.

Getting Profit Out of Soft Corn Is
Vital Problem for the
Farmer

Due to the late spring throughout
the corn belt and consequent shorten
ing of the growing season there is a
strong probability that much of the
corn crop will be struck by frost this
year before the corn has matured
This means that a large portion OF
the corn crop this year is likely to
be placed in the class of "soft corn y
When frost strikes the corn il
prevents the kernels from maturing
and leaves them soft and full OF
moisture. In soft corn the moisture

tured the ear of corn was before il
was struck by frost.
1t is impossible to store corn with
more than 25 per cent moisture in
