New Machine Makes
Silo Filling Easier-Elim-
mates Size of Crew
FILL THREE SILOS
Corn Harvested, Cut
And Loaded From
Machine In Field

Operating a farm of 1400 acres
one mile east of West Union, the
Miller Bros. believe in keeping up
to-date in modern farming meth
DDS. Their latest Improvement was
the addition of an ensilage harvest
er, a new piece Of machinery in this
territory.
A visit to the Miller Bros. farm
Friday afternoon was a revelation
in the latest method of filling silos,
which can be more easily explained
as harvesting ensilage. This new
machine makes silo filling easier
and eliminates several men Of a
crew formerly necessary in this
work.
This machine cuts row after row
of the corn, automatically carries
it to the ensilage cutter and deliv-
ers it ready for the silo into wag-
ons, all done in the field. This
eliminates binding and Irvine, and
the heavy loads made possible
through cutting the corn for en-
silage eliminates considerable haul
ing.
The Miller Bros. used three wag-
ons with two tractors, and because
of the long haul were unable to
keep the machine operating stead
lily, although there was very little
delay. Filling a wagon in the field
from the machine, done by blower,
took about six minutes. The loaded
wagon was then taken to the silo,
and left to be unloaded, which
operation also took about six min
utes. While the ensilage was being
conveyed into the silo by blower,
the tractor was hitched to the emp
ty wagon and again taken into the
field for another load. One Of the
Miller Bros. told us that with an
other wagon and tractor they could
keep the machine working steadily.
Their crew for filling three silos,
consisted of the machine operator
two drivers and two men unloading
into the blower conveyor. The
Miller Bros. estimated that thirty
five acres Of corn would be neces-
sary to fill their three silos.
This machine, it was stated, is
the first of its kind in this COM
munity, and we were informed
there are no other machines like II
within radius of fifty or seventy
five miles from Sank Centre.
