Associated Press representa-

will fight if any Indian or

using three dump trucks. In one
good day Born and his brothers
put in rs loads of silage. He claims
it was the easiest way he had ever
put that much silage up in SO
short a period of time.
After each load had been dump
ed, it was leveled off with a trac-
tor-mounted manure loader. Addi-
tional packing was done with ano-
ther tractor. A heavy paper and
limestone is used as a covering.
The $50 hostein cattle on the
Born farm consume a lot of rough
age and hay in a years time. That
is why most of his $50 acre farm
had been planted to a combination
of alfalfa, clovers and Bronze
grass. Very little grain is grown
on the farm.
Only one field is being used for
permanent pasture this year. Har-
vey figures he will try using the
silage in place of pasture. This
practice will not entail any addi-
tional work because the cows will
have free access to the silage at all
times.
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1953-07-17

The silage which will be eaten
this summer will be replaced with
corn Silage this fall.
Other plans are being considered
on this Lorain County farm to
further reduce the amount of labor
needed. A cover area adjoining the
bunker will be constructed to
house the baled hay. During the
winter months, it then is simple
job to throw the hay into feed
hunks and to haul the silage to
the other hunks. 1t is possible to
feed 130 head of cattle in about
Is minutes by this method.

BY George l.. Zeis

SSSt SS @s @StS
Harvey Born, a Lorain County
farmer, has taken the backbreak-
ing job out of the making silage.
Sharing forage harvesting equip
ment with his two brothers, using
dump trucks instead of wagons
and bunker type silo instead of
the conventional one, Harvey has
managed to put up his grass silage
this year with the minimum of
man-power.
The bunker silo is an above
ground structure. Plans for it are
available through the Doane Agri-
cultural Service, st. Louis, Miss
ouri.
The one on the Born farm was
started this year just prior to the
hay cutting season. In fact, one
end of the bunker silo was being
filled before the rest of it had
been completed.
This structure measures 35 feet
wide and 136 feet long. 1t has
capacity of approximately 1000
tons of silage.
The posts along the sides are
sunk in the ground about four
feet deep. They are spaced some
four feet apart.
Tongue-in-groove siding, which
had been pressure treated, is used
to hold the silage in place. The
height of each wall is seven feet.
Since the construction of this
bunker silo had been started at the
last moment, it was not possible to
build the desired floor of concrete.
Harvey figures the material used
for this year, which consists of
coarse gravel and sand, will be
satisfactory until the concrete
flooring can be poured next year.
Filling of the silo was done by

If the conference votes today
to confirm Senator Knowland in
the job which Senator Taft asked
him to fill temporarily, it may
result in some other Senator
being made chairman of the

Senator Knowland.
Although there is no rule pre-
venting one man from holding
both, they have been regarded as
separate assignments in recent
years, and probably will be again.

Senate Republicans were ex-
pected to elect Senator Know
land of California as their Floor
Leader this afternoon, over the
protest of seven party members
who made a last-minute effort
yesterday to have the decision
put off until the next session of
Congress.
Political observers here were
wondering if this is the first
indication that Senator Taft's
death will make it harder for
divergent groups in the party to
pull together now that he is gone.
What happens in the party
conference this afternoon may
determine whether the opposi-
tion to the immediate selection
of new leader is the beginning
of serious rift, or merely a
passing squabble over timing.
