 The steel for the building has been received consisting of 25 tons of the material. There was considerable delay in the steel getting here as it could not be unloaded from the boat at Valdez on it's arrival there from the states as the docks were too icy. It then had to be taken on to Seward and unloaded at that terminal. On ar rival here it was found that part of the shipment was meant for Valdez projects and a consider able amount of it had to be trucked on back down to that seaport from Palmer.

fields for a short time and then into
the feed lots.
In the feed lot, the animals get all
the corn silage and alfalfa hay they
will clean up. Calves also get oats
and barley and larger animals get
barley and from X to / pound of oil
meal pellets. The grain consumed
per animal amounts to about 10
pounds per day. Calves average
about Is pounds of corn silage and
yearlings from 35 to 40 pounds. Her
zog considers the corn silage the
closest thing to green grass and has
observed that the cattle have no
trouble with water belly and even
the old cows do well on this soft
feed.
Other crops grown on the irrigated
river valley farm include about 80
acres of barley, 20 of oats and 40 in
rye. There were. $50 acres in alfalfa
hay this year and will be 800 acres
next year. Summer grazing lands
total over 5000 acres of prairie
range.
Herzog hopes to buy calves to feed
this winter. He will run them on the
range during the summer, feed them
next winter and then sell them as
fat stock in the spring. He likes to
get calves when possible because
there are several ways to sell them,
whereas if 2-year-old animals are
purchased the possibilities are linn
tied.

Song Of The Lazy Farmer

I don't help get fields all plowed;
in summer, when small grain gets
ripe, my loafing gives her cause
to grippe; in early fall, a million
chores all pressure me to get out
doors, and if I try to loaf and
slack, she's sure to make some
nasty crack.
But soon as the sky shows signs
of snow, and icy winds begin to
blow, the heat is off and I am free
to do my loafing openly. The
choring won't amount to much,
just feeding cows and hens and
such-an hour of milking twice
day-that jobs Mirandy's any
way; some eggs to gather now
and then, and / cannot remember
when Mirandy ever did allow me
in the henhouse anyhow. And so
the next four months will be
mighty pleasant time for me; in
stead of being forced to sneak
off where cannot hear her
speak, l now can squat in my
own chair and know the boss
won't even care.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-11-01

A tractor was kept busy in the
trench packing the silage as it was
loaded The same tra ctor with
manure fork on front will be used to
take out the silage and load it into
the trucks for the feed lot.
IL Tons Per Acre
Herzog had 286 acres in corn at
his Yellowstone river valley farm
and expected about IL tons to the
acre of chopped silage SO the trench
silo should be about level full. Wet
straw will be used to seal the silage
on the surface and then foot of dry
straw for insulation should elimi-
nate any possibility of spoilage, he
thinks.
More than ], 100 head Of mixed cat
tie were fed out last winter and Her
zog plans to have about the same
number this year. They were started
on beet top pasture purchased from
neighbor in December last year.
But he hopes to have the cattle a
month earlier this year. The feeding
continues through the winter with
cattle being sold from February to
May. He thinks he may put in some
irrigated pastures in the future to
spread the selling out up to July. He
has no beet tops this year, so animals
will go into grain and corn stubble

BAE Crop Survey
Now Being Made

MANY FARMERS and ranchers
in Montana have recently received
crop acreage survey cards by mail
from the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics in Helena. The figures
reported on these cards will be
assembled and used to determine
county and state acreage and pro-
duction of Montana crops.
P. J. Greer, agricultural statisti-
clan. for Montana says the surveys
are designed on a simple basis,
and it is necessary that each To-
cality have representation to pro-
vide true cross-section of Mon
tana's crop production. The success
Of the surveys depends on the re-
Spouse Of farm and ranch people who
have been requested to report on
their crops for 1851.
Greer emphasizes that all reports
from farmers and ranchers in his
office are handled with utmost con-
fidence and no one has access to
them for purposes Of taxation.

5000 Tons Of Corn Canned
In COncrete-Lined SiIO

CORN SILAGE is vitality inn
portant to the cattle feeding program
at the John Herzog farm, Custer
county, and proper storage has been
given top billing with the construc-
ton of new 3,OO0-ton capacity con-
crete-lined trench silo.
Herzog had been in the dairy bust
ness for years in Miles City and was
well acquainted with the value of
corn silage before starting on his
beef feeding program. His experience
with upright type silos in years past
was that a considerable amount of
silage was wasted by freezing along
the sides, and loading and unloading
was often difficult.
As dirt-walled trench silo worked
well but in the spring or during wet
periods in the winter, trucks were
likely to get stuck working in and
out of the trench and the banks
sometimes caved in. And there was
some wastage into the soil on sides
and bottom of the trench. So the
concrete lining was considered a
good longtime investment.
Cost $500
Herzog says the total cost of the
trench silo was $4,000 and estimates
that an upright type silo with 5000
tons capacity would probably cost
five times that amount The trench
silo with sloped sides is 400 feet long
at the top, $50 feet long at the bot
tom, 40 feet wide at the top, % feet
wide at the bottom and IL feet deep.
Drains have been built in the floor
and piped into nearby slough. The
floor Of the silo is 5-inch thick con-
crete with heavy reinforcing irons,
and sides are inches thick with
lighter reinforcing. Expansion joints
are built in every 8 to 10 feet.
The sloped sides made it possible
to pour the concrete without using
forms. Six inches Of gravel formed
the base for pouring concrete on botl
sides and floor. The contracted COS
was so cents per cubic foot for thu
concrete work and the total price o
$4,000 included the gravel, shaping
reinforcing, drain pipes and a coat 0
acid-proof silo coating on concret
surfaces.
Besides the fact that corn Stag
is very good feed, Herzog likes tn
economy of putting up the Stag
with modern machinery. The labo
problem is minimized by the fac
that the job is entirely mechanizec

we are marching forward. The
obligations which society imposes
upon us, all are to protect our
people by our authority, to en-
Tighten them by our knowledge,
to give them strength by our vir-
tues, to assist them in their needs,
to sacrifice all personal resent
ment, and to seek all that can con
tribute to peace and to progress.
We r all human beings. We
have not only bad tendencies but
also good tendencies. We are ca
not only of selfishness and
greed, but of goodwill and love.
We were created that way. Let us,
in ouur work and in our daily
lives, work with that mind, and
that love, which we all recognize
as God-given attributes. There
are constructive forces just as
potent as destructive forces in the
creation of a finer social order.
Let us use the constructive forces
and thus arouse our social con-
science. Politics concerns itself
more and more with the social
problems of the community and
of the state. Education emphasizes
adjustment to the social organism
and development of effectiveness
and richness of life. Criminology
condemns not only the criminal,
but hales the social body to the
bar and indicts society for max
ing the criminal what he is, Mod
ern philanthropy seeks not only to
relieve distress but to create con
ditons which prevent it. To all Of
us there comes the great chal-
1enge to rebuild the social and
economic order. Let us accept that
challenge and devote every ounce
Of our energy to its achievement.
