VC L. VII. NO. 45
HUTT1G. ARKANSAS. SATURDAY. MARCH 21. 1914.
PRICE, SI PER YEAR
Silos and Silage.
Somebody has said that a silo
and a mortgage both would not
stay on the same farm. This may
not be literally true, but it empha-!
sizes the value of the silo. The
silo is not a new thing, but it is
comparatively new in this state. 1
hope to see a great many silos built
in Arkansas th'S year. However,
m some things must be taken into
consideration before building.
A silo alone will not make money.
You must have stock to feed, and
you must have enough stock to eat
t le contents of the silo during the
wi iter season. If you have the silo
and the stock you must then pro
vide the silage. Silos have their
greatest value as a means of pro
vi ling a good teed at a small cost.
Silage is made from corn, by cut
ting the corn in the field before it^
is mature, and just as the ear hard- j
ens the dents begin to form. At
thdt time the stalks and blades are
full of moisture and the feed is
heavy in weight. After the corn
is cut and hauled it is run through j
a cutter and chopped up into small '
pieces, stalks, blades, ears and all.
and stored in the silo. When packed
down it is kept air tight and remains:
green and fresh.
About ten tons of silage can be
grown to the acre. Ten or twelve •
a:res of cyrn should fill a 100-ton
silo. Silage can be grown and put
in the silo at from $ 1.50 to $3.00
per ton. 1 his makes a cheap feed
It is worth pound for pound about
half as much as good hay in feeding
to stock. Silage is a cattle feed.
It has little if any value for hogs,
because the hogs don't like it. It
is not the most satisfactory feed
fjr horses, though often fed suc
cessfully to them. Silage is fine
as a dairy feed, and good for beef
production. Some fine results have ,
been obtained in this state feeding
fattening cattle silage and cotton 1
seed meal.
There is no trouble in mal ing'
plenty of milk and butter with the
aid of a silo. There is no trouble
in keeping a bunch of cattle in good
growing condition through the win
ter in this state with a silo. They
are airlg't. The silo agents are
going abo rt all over Arkansas now
trying to sell silos. Remember
that the silos are good things, but
do not let an agent talk you into
buying one unless you can use it
profitably. If you own a farm and
have enough stock, buy a silo. If
you haven't, then wait until you
get the stock.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

S& Voters tf Union County:
It has been my purpose all th<
while since I entered the race foi
Tax Assessor to see each and ever)
voter in this county, and to present
my claims for Assessor to you ir
person, but owing to sickness in my
family and the duties of my office
as Surveyor of this County, it hat
been impossible for me to do so.
1 am qualified for this office anc
1 am familiar with land numbers

We Are Going to
Vote for W. E. McRae
Because he stands for clean politics, honesty and efficiency
Because he is thoroughly qualified, having had several years practical experi
ence as an accountant.
Because we believe “two terms down and out" is true Democracy.
Because we believe public office belongs to the people and is not to be com
pared to a private business.
Because we believe, all things being equal, for one family to want' to
hold one office all the time is unfair and unkind. If it was true that only ten fam
ilies could hold an office in forty years, is it right for the other nine not to have a
chance when their turn comes?
Because he believes he is not the only competent man in the County, but there
are plenty of others well qualified. Why not give them a chance?
Because he is a young man, born and raised on a farm in this County.
Because he has a good will and kind'word for each of his opponents. He is
the same all the time.
Because he has made an earnest, clean campaign, and will appreciate every
vote cast for him.
Because no one can say anything against him and tell the truth.
All believe he is the leading man.
