Number Of Silos. !.
Being Erected In
County This Year
Local Cheese Plant CO-operat.
ing With Dairymen. Cost
Is Said to Be Low.

To increase milk production
during winter months, the Kraft
Cheese plant is urging its patrons
to plant more soybeans and corn
and to- construct a silo to house
silage this fall, it was learned
this week from Levern Johnson
plant manager.
1--WE have made arrangements
to keep a limited supply of Eure-
ka silage corn and soybean seed
on hand at the plant for the &C.
commodation Of our patrons" he
stated.
The plant is also giving patrons
full cooperation in the construc-
ton of trench and box type silos.
Mr.. Johnson stated that 10
dairymen have agreed this month
to build silos, in accordance with
plans to be furnished by the
cheese plant. ''There is more in
terest in silos now than ever be-
fore in the county"
The cost of such construction
is regarded as being very low.
Mr.. johnson says that a 15-ton
silo, which will feed S cows for
six months, two feelings per day,
should be S feet wide, 6 feet high
and IS feet long If made of lum-
Der, the cost is estimated to run
around 81 per ton, which also in
cludes filling the silo. A concrete
trench silo would cost just q little
more. The box types have to be
lined with heavy paper.
At the present time there are
over so silos in the county, seven
of which are large uprights, and
the majority of the others are of
the trench type.
Those having upright silos in
clude w. B. Austin, Troy and Ben
Little, Gwyn Price, J. G. Pierce,
DR.. Waddell, Walter Pennington.
"To have your cow produce a
large quantity of milk, she must
have plenty of protein feeds to
balance the carbohydrates con-
tanned in the regular roughages
grown on the farm" Mr.. Johnson
declared.
Price-supporting measures for
poultry, dairy products, pork pro-
ducts and vegetables will be con-
tinued through June 80, 1943, &C
cording to a U. S. Department of
Agriculture announcement.

and the urgent needs of Great
Britain make it difficult for the
administration to divert the nee
essary planes, tanks and artillery
to South America.
In many official quarters where
this situation is being watched
with increasing uneaSineSS it is
believed that the day may come
when the sister republics may
be forced to ask the direct assist
ance of trained men and arms
should operations of the Nazi re-
volutionaries threaten the inde-
pendence of these countries.
While such a request is still
in the realm of speculation, there
IS no question that the Latin
Americans are keenly interested
in how many men, and especially
bombing planes, could be made
available to them in the hour of
need. They look especially to the
United States Air Force, which
could have deadly effect on any
alien revolution against the rec
ognized South American govern
ments.
The United States Govern
ment does not suggest any such
step which would smack of the
old days of intervention" But
the feeling in official quarters is
that should any Latin American
government ask Washington for
effective assistance, the request
could not possibly be refused.

The Political Mill
Peril of Nation Declared Obvious if Army
Demobizes SeIectees in Next Few Months

the Chief Executive of the Ma
ton 1t has not been successfully
refuted. This matter of maintain
ing the strength of the Army is
a matter, first of all, of national
defense. Whether a citizen be-
lieveS that the country should 90
into the European war or stay out
is beside the question when it
comes to maintaining national de-
fense.
Senator Wheeler of Montana,
who is fighting the extension of
the selective service period, con-
tends that the Selectees and the
Guardsmen consider first their
own desires, and that they believe
the Government is not keeping
faith with them if it insists upon
their remaining in the service
more than year. Senator
Wheeler has received approx
mately hundred kilograms and
letters from men in the service,
and from their families, protest
ing against the extension of the
period of service. He contends
that these kilograms and letters
represent the sentiment of a great
number of selectees and Guards
men. He has announced publicly
that he has received letters from
Army camps saying that large
groups of soldiers went A. w. o.
L. 124 in one camp and so in
another) showing that there is
Woeful lack of discipline and
morale, and that these men were
not punished, presumably because
their officers did not consider
punishment wise, or did not dare
to punish.
From Gen. Marshall, other
Army officers and from many of
the men themselves comes very
different picture, both of the
morale and the discipline in the
Army. Certainly the tales of
insubordination and the lack OF
morale are painting pretty pic
ture for the enemies of this coun-
try, one that they will relish.
Selectees on the Spot.
Senator Wheeler and other
members of Congress who are
protesting against the Selective
service extension are suggesting
that the men be asked to volun-
teer for continued service at the
end of the year. instead of being
held on by action of Congress.
They want, apparently, the will
ing men to assume all the burden
and to allow those who are un-
willing to go home and not bear
any further burdens. Selective
service is the most democratic
way of raising any army. What
becomes of this democratic
principle if the Wheeler pro-
posal for a volunteer system is
adopted?

President Seeks Showdown
He Hos Challenged Non-Inteventionists
By Asking Congress to Acknowledge Crisis

of Congress would like to wait to
see how the German-Russian war
is going to kick before further COM
mitting themselves. There is an
impression that if Adolf Hitler con-
quers Russia he will propose peace.
The argument is that, if this hap
pens, Congress should keep for itself
a hand in determining what the
United States should do about 1t.
Aid to Russia Opposed.
Another subject of acute interest
is the attitude of the United States
toward Russia. There is strong
congressional sentiment against any
direct American aid to the Soviets,
either as against Germany or japan.
If, for example. Japan should take
advantage of RuSSia's preoccupa-
ton in the west to strike at Vladi-
vostok the question might arise as
to whether the United States should
institute reprisals against Japan
Congress would like to retain a share
in determining this issue.
All this is beside the question
whether the service period of Ma
tional Guardsmen, Reserve officers
and SelecteeS should be extended,
which of itself will occasion sharp
debate. The impression derived from
talking with members of Congress
is that the extension as applied to
Reserve officers will go through
easily, and that retention Of Ma
tional Guardsmen will be voted by
a substantial majority. There is
much more opposition TO prolonging
the term of selectees.
The battle will be to defeat the
declaration of national emergency"
which would give the President full
discretionary power to determine the
service period and then to deal with
each of the categories separately.
Because the one-year service for
National Guardsmen will begin to
expire in September there is strong
pressure for immediate action re-
Specting them, and the same situa-
ton applies in less degree TO Reserve
officers. The first selectees were not
summoned until November and less
than 10000 of them had been called
to camp before January l, 1941.
One plan on foot is to grant the
extension, as applied TO National
Guardsmen and Reserve officers,
but TO limit it TO six months Pc
Rod, thus leaving Congress in posi-
ton to prolong still further their
service, or permit them to 60 home
during the first half OF the 1912
congressional election year, accord
ingly as the world situation then
may seem to require
Re!eased by the North American

BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Only one issue confronts the
CongreSs-outside of political is
sues-over the proposal to extend
the period of service of the Sc
lectees, the National Guardsmen
and the Reservists beyond u
months.
That issue, put badly, is: Does
this Nation face situation in
which its interests are imperiled?
If the Nation is imperiled, it is
obvious it would be in far more
peril if two-thirds of the Army
were sent home in the next few
months, and a lot of raw, un-
trained men put in their places.
The President of the United
States in a message to Congress
yesterday solemnly declared that
the national interest is imperlled;
that it is in far more peril today
than it was a year ago when the
Selective Service Act was passed
and the President made ready
TO call the National Guard and
the ReServiStS into the Federal
service. Gen. George C. Mar
shall, chief of staff, has told the
Senate Military Affairs Commit

gress and the people that he

plentiful in country with
Brazil's vast territory.
All this information and much
more is of course known TO the
Latin American governments.
The authorities in the threatened
republics are doing their best to
cope with the situation-by no
means an easy one. While it
would be mistake to exaggerate
the number of Nazis in these
military organizations, there is no
doubt that they have strategic
advantage over the government
forces, since they can gather in
-of-the-way and poorly pro-
tected places.
The armies of the menaced re-
publics are preparing as rapidly
as possible to meet this threat.
But they are handicapped by the
fact that they must relp prin-
cipally on the United States for
military supplies.
May Need U. s. Aid.
Although the American Gov
eminent is fully aware of the
situation and is doing its best to
assist its friends, relatively little
armament can be dispatched TO
South America. Our own needs
