Use Temporary
Silo For Winter
Feed Storage

A temporary silo has been re-
commended by County Agricult-
ural Agent VIM. H. Henderson as
a good way to handle additional
silage for the dairy or beef herd
this winter
The temporary silo could work
especially well for farmers who
don't have a regular silo and are
faced with the need for extra feed
this year.
Corn or other forage will keep
year-round in a temporary silo,
providing the fodder is kept sealed
tight, Henderson said, in explain
ing how to do the job.
First the forage is chopped up
as usual, then stacked on the
ground in a pile by the truck-load,
the agricultural agent advised. AS
each lead is added, it should be
packed down tight by running the
truck over it. Keeping the end of
the pile sloped will allow the
truck to run up on top.
When all the silage is on the

polyethylene plastic, say 20 by
100-foot size, now being used for
such purposes. Dig a trench all
around the forage, and bury the
edge of the plastic close to the
pile. This is done to keep air out.
To hold the plastic down ON the
surface of the pile, the agent said
to use a layer of sawdust. Wet the
sawdust and it will harden into
cake around the forage. When
feeding, peel back one end of the
plastic keeping the cover tight on
the rest of the pile
Mr.. Henderson said that good re-
suits will be had with a baled
straw silo if it's big enough and
reinforced with wire. A baled
straw bunker silo will also work
well. This type has two walls about
Is feet apart. Some farmers might
prefer a trench silo.
For additional information, Hen
derson said, call the county ex-
tension office, Georgetown 2553.

A proposal to expand the
services of the Anacostia psy-
chiatric center for mentally
disturbed children attending Is
public schools in that area has
been presented to the District
Commissioners Youth Coun-
Gil.
Floyd H. Agostinelli, counc>
Gil leader in the Anacostia
area, said the present center
at Congress Heights Baptist
Church, 621 Alabama avenue
Sc, is confined to diagnosing
the mental problems of chill
dren at the Hart Junior High
and Simon Elementary Schools
only.
After the diagnosis they are
referred to other agencies for
treatment, he said.
However, under the new plan,
the services of the center would
include treatment as we'll as
diagnosis and four or five other
centerS would be set up in the
area where teams of psychia-
trists could treat mentally dis
turbed children regularly.
Mr.. Agostinelli said the pro-
gram calls for working with
the parents as we'll as the
child so they will know how to
deal with the child while he is
under treatment.
Mr.. Agostinelli said the pres
ent program is operated on a
$500 grant from the Eastern
Branch of the Kiwanis Club. It
is stated by resident psychia-
trists at st. Elizabeths Hospital.
The new plan would cost
about $4,000. Mr.. Agostinelli
said, and I'VE hope to have it
working no later than the end
OF the year and perhaps even
earlier"
Mr.. Agostinelli said the coun-
ellis area board, which is back
ing the plan, hoped to get the
$4,000 from a private founda-
tion or from such civic organi-
cations at the PTA.
IF the program works the
way we think it will, we hope
that 1t will be adopted on a
city-wide basis by the District
government" he said.

The National Guard, successor
to the Organized Militia, celebrates
Muster Day each year on the Sum
day nearest to February % to
honor George Washington, Colonel
in the Virginia Militia, Father of
his country and first President of
the United States.
The accomplishments of the Ma
tional Guard in all great Wars and
their services to the States in time
of need are well known.
To the ''three RS" of reading,
