From Governor Alfred NJ. LandOn's social Sc
curity message to the Kansas Legislature, July T.
1886.
For three long years President Roosevelt has been
secretly openly attempting to undermine the Consti
tuition of the United States. In complete and PA
TRIOTIC contrast to Mr. Roosevelts dictatorial
cedure is the attitude of Governor Landon toward the
Constitution of his State and by inference toward
that Of the nation.
Mr.. Roosevelt has sought to change the Constitution
by acts of Congress written by himsef-NOT by
AMENDMENT, as the Constitution prescribes Gov
ernor Landon would change it by AMENDMENT when
needed, NEVER by legislative action which HE had
dictated
MIR. Roosevelt has petulanty criticized the Supreme
Court when in accordance with its oath of office it has
ruled AGAINST his unconstitutional procedure. Gov
Landon has resored to these childish tactics

of the imagination it be conceived that man of his
and sober judgment ever will.
MIR. Roosevelt has reduced the Congress Of the United
States to the dimensions of rubber stamp the sole duty
Of which has been to OK his must" legislation
many without reading it. Governor Landon
the other hand RESPECTS the power of HIS legis-
ature and tells its members that the enactment of WISE
sound and just measures is UP TO THEM.
To sum up, Mr. Roosevelt has sought to rule in
the dictGtOTiGL European manner, lUEiLe Governor
LGndOn seeks to administer in the democratic
American manner.
The American people uOiU choose in November

Chief Justice Marshall said:
THE judicial power Is extended
(by our Constitution to all cases
arising under the Constitution.
Gould it be the intention OF
those who gave this power, to say
that in using it the Constitution
should not be looked into? That
a case arising under the Consti-

examining the instrument under
which it arises?
This is too extravaganza to be
maintained. :.
I'm declaring what shall be the

Democratic platform like this:
"We amt gonna lie no more no

OF course, in his partisan man

would answer:
'HOw in the world are we gOin'

His second verse went like this:

Nowadays, q woman doeSnC

Mexican divorce decree-whether
to frame it, use it as a lamp
shade or give it to the children
to make paper dolls of-but it
ought to be good for SOME
THING!
When you read that a woman

it means that she demands q

her fractured vanity.
Marriage doesn't go to smash
all at once like an airplane. Most
marriages which end in Reno
have been breaking up for years
and the "smash-up" is just the
echo Of the real crash.
Many an ideal bridegroom de-
preciates in value almost as
rapidly after the wedding as an
automobile does after you've
bought it and hung the license
plates on it.
It isn't always the lure of a new
love which temptS a divorce to
rush right back into marriage. It
is more often those eX-wife blues
and the longing to hear some
body's key in the latch again.
A girl who writes to the lovelorn
editor to ask how to win back" a
embarrassing sweetheart or a
stepping husband, would probably
go to a dentist to find out how to
revive a painful toothache.

an extension dairy specialist who has
had much to do with the wide use of
trench silos in South Carolina.
'"The cost of the trench silo is negli-
gible. 1t can conceivably be built with
out any cash outlay whatever. Records
of construction costs kept on number
of silos shows an average cost of 70
cent per ton capacity. Thus silo with
a capacity of 80 tons would cost $23.7o.
These figures allow liberal charge
for farm labor and mule labor as we'll
as the cost of the roof. Several farmers
built these silos with no cash outlay,
using farm labor OH idle days and build
ing the roof of rough boards or other
waste material around the farm"
Other Advantages
Besides low initial cost of construction

age losses in other kinds.
1t is easy to fill the trench silo, no
blower being required to elevate the sill
age, and the needed water is easily add
ed. Then, too, while it is important to
pack the silage we'll because of the shall
lowness, the packing is a simple matter
and may be made easier by driving a
tractor or even animals back and forth
over the silage.
Sizes and Capacities
Ease of feeding from a trench silo is
natural result of its construction and
location. With All inclined entrance to
the trench, the silage may be loaded into
carts or baskets and brought out or
pitched over the sides into feed troughs
or into a Aoorcd alley and then into the
troughs.
The adaptabilty of the trench silo
to the size of the herd is one of it's great
est appeals" Mr. Cushman points out,
because as the herd grows the silo can
be dug wider and longer to meet the
feeding requirements.
A Silo SIX feet wide at the top and
four feet wide at the bottom, five feet
deep, and "a feet long will feed six COWS
the required silage for 100 days.
For eight cows, increase the length to
81 feet; and for 10 COWS, to 40 feet.

self and being simple is very easy and in

mirably with the status of farmers who
cannot find cash for the heavier outlay
required to build the vertical type of
silo, and is one of the important factors
in reducing cost of producing dairy prod

Regarding this matter of cost and cash
outlay, let us hear from G. G.. Cushman,

for only plow, pick, scrapc, and mules or
tractor, there are other advantages over
the upright Silo of wood, metal or CON
crete.
Unlimited capacity is one of these adj
vantages, since the trench may be made
to accommodate the size of the herd or
the amount of feed for silage. A mar
row and shallow trench permits the
feeding of few COWS without the spoil

+ one asks what trench silo is and
Il how it differs from other siloS, the
answer is simply that a trench silo is
dug into the ground and in it's simplest
form is merely long shallow hole in
the ground with slightly sloping sides,
and with or without cover. Certain
notifications are applied to make the
simple hole i'll the ground better adapted
to certain conditions of soil, water-table,
and durability; and roof may be added
for greater protection of the silo.
The location of the ground silo is de-
termined by soil, drainage and convent
ence. A stiff clay soil that does not cave
easily and is not water-soaked is desired.
Since surface water Seeplng into the
trench causes caving of the sides and
makes feeding the silage difficult, it is
best to have uniform clay soil with
the water table low enough to prevent
accumulation of water in the bottom.
While convenience may have to be
sacrificed for proper soil and drainage,
location convenient for feeding say
next to the feeding barll-is important
for saving labor in feeding.
Cloud of Witnesses
What Carolina farmers who have had
experience with trench silos think of
them may be judged from the comments
of some of those who built and used
them under direction of farm agents and
dairy specialists.

feet wide at the bottom. six feet deep,
and "a feet long is sufficient for II
cows.
Increased length and width are better
than increased depth, since the deeper
the trench the harder to remove soil in
digging; also the harder to feed Silage
and the more danger of caving side
walls when the trench is empty.
Figuring the capacity of trench sllos
it is necessary to remember that silage
weighs IS to IS pounds per cubic foot,
according to the way it is packed and the
moisture content when it is ensiled
Multiply the number of cows to be fed
by the number of days during which
feeding is to be done, and this will give
the number of cubic feet needed, because
the average cow will be fed cubic foot
of silage each day. For example: 20
COWS to be fed $50 days; 2oxI SO is s.
COG cubic feet, or 5000 80 weight
of silage per cubic foot) is 10000
pounds, or about As tons of silage nee
eSSary.
Roof Is Simple
The roof, as may be judged from the
illustrations, is of the very simplest COIL
struction if one is used at all. When
the silo is beside the barn, shed roof
may be built over the slo.
For greater permanency of walls, some
trench silos are built with reinforced
concrete curb and plaster-lined walls or
concrete walls; or the walls may be lined
with untreated creosote plank, vertically
placed
Where the water table is too near the
surface of the soil for the usual under

StruCtiOn is advised, as illustrated, using
boards or concrete for walls which OF

move loose dirt with a drag pan When
the land OH which the slo is located is
practically level the ends of the trench
should be gradually sloped to the sur
face, SO that the team can easily walk in
and out. 1t is advisable to leave the
slope in the end from which the Silage
is removed so the silage can be hauled
out in cart. The other end should
be dug out and given the same slope as
that of the side walls. Side walls should
be smoothed and sloped with pick and
shovel.
When lumber is used it should be
thoroughly dried before erection. The
plank should be placed i'll an upright po-
sition and should be treated with hot
creosote. Side walls should be smooth
SO the silage will pack tightly against
them. If walls are rough, air pockets
will be formed which will result III

FINALDATE FOR
WORK SHEETS
Farmers Desiring To Take
Up Soil Conservation Civ
en- to July the 4th
REPORT TO WASHINGTON

In regard to the soil conserva-
ton program as it relates to Della
ware, all work sheets must be in
the hands of the county commit
tees on or before Saturday, July 4,
according to a statement which
has ben issued by r. o. Stelzer,
extension economist of the Univer-
sity of Delaware, who is project
leader for this state in this soil
improvement plan of the Federal
government. For the past several
weeks the time limit for receiving
work sheets from those farmers
who desire to sign up in this pro-
gram has been extended indefinitely
in order to permit all farmers to
have the opportunity to participate
in the benefits of this project. AS
the tabulation and listing of these
work sheets must be completed
within certain time, however, it
is necessary to bring the 1886 pro-
gram to a close, and for this rea-
son July 4 has been designated as
the final date for the county COM
mittees to receive applications. In
view of this decision, therefore,
those farmers who have not signed
work sheets should contact their
district or county committeeman
at once if they expect to enter
their farms in this soil conserva-
tion program this year. For farm
ers to be eligible to participate in
this program, it is required that
they fill out work sheets on which
are listed the acreage of soil de-
pleting, soil conserving, and other
crops, in addition to woodland,
permanent pasture and idle crop
land. The signing of a work sheet,
however, does not place a farmer
under any obligation to comply
with the terms of this Act, as it
signifies only that there is a desire

of Delaware
PEACH OUTLOOK FINE

The Delaware peach crop this
year, in spite of adverse weather
early in the season, shows indica-
tions of being larger than in 1885,
according to word received from j.
A. Ewing, Federal Agricultural
Statistician for Delaware, whose
office is at College Park, Md. Ac-
cording to Ewing's report, the con-
dition of the peach crop in Della
ware on June was 68 per cent of
normal with an indicated produc-
ton of 81 900 bushels as compar-
ed to a condition of 81 per cent on
June 1, 1885 and an indicated pro-
duction at that time of 225, 900
bushels. The apple crop shows a
decrease over last year with q
June 1 condition of 81 per cent as
compared to a condition of 81 per
cent on the corresponding date in
1885. The report states that while
apple bloom was fairly heavy, the
set of fruit was relatively light.
Light frosts earlier in the year in
Jured Staymens and Paragons
more than the other varieties.
There was light set of Transpar-
ents but the fruit is sizing WELL
Williams and Duchess varieties are
average or better. The Delaware
pear crop is in better condition
than it was at this period last
year. The condition as of June
was 81 per cent with an indicated
production of $4,000 bushels as
compared to June 1, 1885 condi-
ton of 43 per cent and an indicat-
ed production of n, 900 bushels.
