OF Silo Made Easy
Simple Table Worked Out

A simple table, worked out ot tho
iowa Agricultural college is endorsad
as practical and good by the animal
nusoahdry workers at the New York
state college at Ithaca. They point
out That tables would hardly be needed

The following table shows the aver.

settle and the exact number of tons
lett in the silo is wanted, the area
would first be figured by multiplying
half the diameter multiplied by itself
times 3.l4l6. SO 6x6x3. .l416 equals
ll31 square feet The total amount of
sllage was 1l31x36 or 4OT1.G cubic
feet. The amount fed off was
ll3.lxlG or 1906 cubic feet.
From the table, the average of SO
feet of silage is 42A pounds for each
cubic foot. or total Of 4O71 .Gx42& or
lI4,O0O pounds. The amount fed off,
however, averaged only 30h pounds
to cubic foot-as the table shows.
In other words, 1S09.6x30k equals
53,lIj pounds fed out. The difference
is 1lS.S25 pounds remaining, or ap.
proXimately 80 tons.

swine owners should always treat the
entire herd, whether all animals show

AS result of the recent Republican
primary vote the University is placed
in a most embarrassing situation
Governor Small who signed q bill at

appropriating ten million dollars to
the institution, received the most
severe and unwarranted blow from
the voters in University precincts ac-

trict.
Whether intentional or not it was q
deliberate slap in the face, and it will
be hard for the University authorities
or student body to prove to the gov
ernor's friends that the slap was un-
intentional and implanted.
Whether University professors and
students were willing participants in
an organized effort to Gust Governor
Small or were merely the tools in the
hands of INSCRIPTIONS politicians whC
were willing to sacrifice the higher in
terests of the institution to further
their own ends is not of supreme i'm.

UNFAIR PUBLISH
ING HOUSE HAS
SUFFERED LOSS

Indianapolis, Ind, April 16.--Evi-
dence that the disappearance of the
union label from the publications of
the Crowell Publishing Company of
Springfield, Ohio, has injured their
circulation is offered in the postal
receipts report from Springfield in
the month of February, it is pointed
out at headquarters of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union here.
Second class mail receipts dropped
$10,094.49 from the previous months
total, according to the report of
Postmaster J. M. Collins. The post
master attributed the loss to de-
creased shipments from the Crowell
company, where a lockout of union
printers occurred several months ago.
Considering the cheapness of second
class mail rates, which are allowed
only to publications of general circu-
lation, 1t may be seen that the magaz-
ines in question must have suffered
very considerable circulation losses.
The Typographical Union local of
Springfield has been carrying on a
strenuous campaign against the COM
pany since the lockout began, and
union workers Throughout the United
States have rallied to their al dloyally.
Ii is predicted that heavier losses for
the Crowell company are in store as
the campaign gains Roadway.
Publications of the company in
elude: The Woman's Home Compan-
ion, The American Magazine, Farm
and Fireside, and The Mentor.
1t is apparent that the Topographic
cal appearance of the magazines have
suffered in the hands of "rat" work
men.

The growing tendency on the part
of political factions to make use OF
the University vote to control cleo
tions, as indicated in the returns from
last weeks primaries, should be q
sufficient warning for the faculty to
take immediate steps to curtail the
evil, and eventually to stop its pro-
gress altogether.
Within the last two years the tend
ency has been growing CHIEFLY because
the student body and faculty have be.
come large enough numerically to turn
the tide of city, county and district
elections. For reasons of its growth
the University ballot affords a strong
temptation for politicians to campaign
in all University precincts where the
vote is large and influential.
That something of this kind has re-
suited in the recent election cannot be
doubted in the face of the oyerwhelm.
ing sentiment recorded in favor oil
certain candidates in all University
precincts.
There can be no greater menace to
the institution than to permit it to
become field for partisan or fractional
strife between candidates who make
use of whatever prestige they have in
procuring the vote of the student body
and faculty. 1t is a menace to be
recognized before it can be eliminated
by voluntary cooperation of faculty
students and all friends of the Uni
versity.

James A. Reeves, who conducted
his campaign independently of any
political faction or machine, was ac-
corder only a mediocre vote in the
University precincts, while Senator
Essington, Roger Little, Attorney
General Brundage and Senator Dunlap
polled mammoth majorities.
Senator Dunlap is the only one of
the four who is credited with any
outstanding service for the University.
His friendship for the institution
probably warranted the prediction
that he would carry all University
precincts with a fair majority as a
recognition of his service; but nc
greater degree of favoritism should
have been shown him than should

Nothing can be more corrupt in
politics than for a clique of politi.
clans who have an axe to grind, or an
individual candidate seeking political
preferment, to thus embarrass an in
shtution whose maintenance depends
upon the votes of every political fac
ton in the state.
The history of such maneuvers
should have been known to the Uni
yersity authorities who are sutfi.
GENTLY well informed to realize the
fatal error so often made in churches
and other organizations whose appeal
is directed to the mass, instead Of q
class. Practically every church has
its black page upon which is written
the story of disintegration, fractional
strife and bitter animosity resulting
through unwise alliances formed in
the interest of factional politics.
1t is often a last resort of candi.
dates, who can win in no other way
than to make an appeal for the sup.
port and endorsement of ministers
and churches, to seek to pervert the
pulpit to their own selfish ends, while
apparently totally Indifferent to the
havoc wrought to the church through
such constituencies methods.
The church is becoming wise to the
fatality of taking a partisan stand up,
on political questions, and it is a rare
event for candidate or clique sup
porting him to succeed in inducing {
minister to plead a factional cause
from the pulpit.

preparation. Yet the University pre-
eincts practically ignored the service
of James Reeves.
In the Eighth precinct, Champaign,
Roger Little received 1924 votes;
Reeves received 4S7. In the Sixth
Urbana precinct Little was accorded
1,139 votes and Reeves 415.
In the Eighth precinct, Champaign,
Senator Dunlap received 524 votes
and George w. Davis, his opponent,
only 228. In the Sixth, Urbana, the
vote stood, Dunlap 497, Davis 113. In
the Fifth Urbana, Dunlap 314, Davis
So.
The total vote cast for Dunlap in
these three precincts was 1885 and
for Davis 397, giving the senator a
majority of 93S, or more than twice
the majority he received in the entire
district.
This is enough to prove the weight
of the University precincts in determ-
ming the results of city, county or
district election. No wonder the Uni
versity is a fruitful field for fractional
politics! If this institution is to re-
main in Champaign county politics
the remainder of the eou. nay as
well retire and permit the institution
to have the field. What is to be done
about it? Shall the University, the
most important educational institu-
ton in the state of Illinois, become a
cats-paw for politicians?

But what the pastors have learned
to their sorrow many of the leading
church laymen have not learned. In
many of the churches there are men
who stand high in religious circles as
leaders of Christian work who are
noted for their philanthropy and
morality, who habitually enter into
fractional politics. They issue letters
recommending a factional candidate,
knowing that bitterness will be en-
gendered when the letters are read by
an opposing faction. They campaign
in the interest of men whose candidacy
they foster and in a dozen ways bind
themselves irrevocably to fractional
politics. Yet they wonder why men
do not go to church.
The writer of this editorial can i'm
mediately call the names of dozens of
men who have left the church because
some religious leader has temporarily
sacrificed the business of the King
dom for the more interesting occupa-
