"PiccadiIly

There is some difference of opin-
lon concerning the derivation Of
the name ''piccadilly." 1t is believed
to be from .'piccadills," the small
stfn collars affected by men Of
fashion of the time of James /.
The street was named for the
house of entertainment known as
"Piccadilly house"

suO CAPACITY INCREASED

w. T. Elliott living two and a
half miles southeast of town has
recently doubled the cubic capacity
of his silo by increasing the depth
by both digging deeper and add
ing to the silo on top. Last year
Mr.. Elliott's silo was IL foot pit
siIo. This year he added four feet
above the ground and then increas-
ed the depth so as to make the
present depth of the silo 26 feet
and ten feet across. Since the ac-
tual capacity of the silo is in
creased more rapidly by increas-
ing depth than the cubic capacity
is increased due to added weight
of the silage, Mr.. Elliott now has
considerable more than twice the
capacity of the silo of last year.
Mr.. Elliott is using small Ba-
pee cutter, run with five horse
power single phase motor. With
one man in the field cutting he is
able to fill the silo slowly so as to
allow fer settling and with small
labor charge.
ANY farmer who has a good sup
ply of silage for winter feeding
should certainly have a deep feel
ing of satisfaction when he sees
his silos filled. We believe it is one
of the primary factors in success
full live stock feeding. Mr.. Elliott
states his cattle will come out in
The spring in better condition than
at the present time, altho he feeds
grain the year round.
Washington Farm Situation
Egg production increased about
48 percent while the population of
the u. S. increased 40 percent
from 1899 to 1924. However dur
ing the shorter trend from 1920
to 1926 egg production increased
twice as fast as did the population
1t is quite evident that should sim
liar increase occur during the next
five years as have been made since
1919 it is likely that satisfactory
prices would not be received.
Receipts of egg markets run
nearly ten percent below that OF
August. 1926. Due to heavy re-
ceipts early in the year the total
until January LIST to date still ex-
coed 1926 by about seven percent
Storage stock is being withdrawn
rapidly and on September LIST one
percent more eggs were in storage
in the u. S. than. on the same
date of last year.

eggs is good and Pacific Coast

sent by Governor A. G. Sorlie to
President Coolidge requests the ex-
ecutive to sign the MeNary- -Haugen

IL am informed that the McNary
Haugcn bill is now before YOU for

While the McNary- Haugen bill is no,

HERE'S BOULDER DAM
PROJECT IN NUTSHELL.

The Swing-Johnson bill now
before Congress calls for the
biggest government project since
the building Of the Panama
Canal. This project is the dam
ming Of the Colorado river at
Boulder Canyon, Arizona. Exc
cu,ion of it would:
Protect 10000 farmers in the
winter-garden valleys of south
ern California and Arizona from
annih ilation by floods and star
walton from water shortage.
Provide irrigation for 2.OOO,O0O
acres Of land.
Reclaim 100000 new acres
from the desert, to which cX-
soldiers would have first claim.
Develop 100000 horsepower of
electricity; displacing the use of
$4,000. 900 barrels of oil annually.
Enable Los Angeles and 20
pthcr cities, Of southern Cali
tornia TO obtain plenty Of pure
water for domestic uses.
Divert flood waters through
an all-Amcrican canal, thus es-
tablishing tho right of American
farmers to water and preventing
the need, as now, of drawing it
from Colorado by way of Mexico.
Do all these things without n
cent Of cost to the government.
