Get Busy on a Silo
Thore is probably no building on
the farm that pays such sure and big
dividends as the silo, II has been
proved time and time again that tho
silo actually doubles the livestock
carrying capacity of every acre of
corn put into it. You can winter
twice ns many stock with an acre
corn in the silo as you can by feed¬
ing the corn in any other form.
Food and feed prices are higher
than they used to be and will remain
higher for years to come. There is
every reason why we should he in a
position to get the largest possible
profits from our farming operations.
Many are hestitating to build silos on
account of the cost of materials arid
labor. There is the greatest abund¬
ance of money in circulation and we
will not get back to pre-war condi¬
tions. so far as the cost of labor and
materials is concerned, for years.
Building materials are getting scarc¬
er each year and the immigration to
this country will decrease rather than
increase, so there is no good reason
for delaying the building of silos.
The fact of the business is, it will
probably cost fully as much to build
a silo several years from now as at
the present time and the lack of sil¬
age greatly reduces our profits every
year. Let us get busy at once on the
building of silos.-—The Progressive
Farmer.

Late Cultivation Generally Pays
The two main objects of cultiva¬
tion are to keep down grass and
weeds and to conserve moisture. All
agree that it is absolutely necessary
to cultivate the crops while young,
but many seem to think that it does
* not pay to keep down grass and
weeds and to keep the crust broken
while crops ure making the efforts of
their lives to put on and mature fruit.
Grass and weeds in the cotton de¬
crease the yield and make it much
more difficult to pick the cotton.
Weeds and grass In the corn instead
of cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans
or peanuts mean decreased yields and
increased evpense at harvesting time.
It pays and pays well to keep up the
cultivation of the crops until practi¬
cally mature.

AT HIS COMING
j n measureless might arisen
For His poor unalmsed, unfed,
For His saints who have perished in
prison,
And the faithfal Abels dead,
He will come at the end of the ages,
Ah the prophets of God have foretold,
To award to His servants their wages,
and to break every idol of gold.
And the three false spirits of deviln
With their legions in battle array,
He will smite vCith the sorest of evil*,
And break as a vessel of clay.
To the house of Israel hated,
Dismantled, bleeding, and torn,
He’ll give, for she long has waited,
A harp, and a crown, and a throne.
For the symbol of carnage is written
On the full-orbed moon tonight,
And the sun with darkness is smitten,
And the stars are all faded from
light.
And the centuries past, swift speed
mg
To the God of the rolling spheres,
Have told to His ear all-heeding
A story of sorrow and tears;
Of the martyred saints who perish
ed
At the staks, in dungeon, by sword,
And ‘the steadfast hope they cherish
ed,
And invincible faith in His word.
Lo! the powers of heaven are shaken.
In His wrath see the King arise.
All power to Himself He has taken,
And the host of Albaddon flies.
Hark! the trumpet of God is calling
To the saints, “Rouse ye, to the war.
Smite, Babylon, smite, she is falling;
Assemble ye fowls from afar.” .
“For her sins have reached unto
Heaven,
And God hath remembered them
Let torment and sorrow be given,
Yea, double her potion of gall.”
And the wealth of this proud de
sjfciler
j Who reveled in wine and blood,
And mocked at the prayers of the
toiler,
Is swept away in the flood.
O sweet Bethlehemic story,
0 kingdom of love ant! light,
j O Calvary dark anil gory,
Thy Victim is Victor tonight.

AN ERROR CORRECTED
In our Tuesday’s issue in a news
item under the heading ‘‘Watson and
Hardwick To Speak Here Today,
appeared the following sentence:
•. The price of gasoline, tires, auto re¬
pairs, candy, theatre tickets and din¬
ners is- of moment to Ur. Slappey
when he likes folks, either for per¬
sonal political reasons. tt
or
This sentence of course should
have read, ‘‘is of NO moment, • • and
was so written in the copy and was
so set up. The omission of a space
between two words in the line,
however, was caught and marked by
the proof reader, but when the lino
type operator re-set the line to
correct that error, the “no" was in
advertently omitted. This made the
sentence read exactly opposite from
the meaning intended.
Dr. Slappey hasn’t “crawled” us,
a s yet, about this, and we are trying
to beat him to it with this explana
tion.

No Reason to Expect Reduction in
Prices of Farm Products
If the laws of supply and demand
operate, it is difficult to see why
we should expect a decrease in the
price of farm products, or for that
matter, - of other products unless it
be those on which there has been
profiteering or those not shipped
out of the country.
In 1919 the United States produc¬
ed only 3 per cent more than in 1913,
or six years before. This is not
enough to take care of the increase
in population. But in 1919 it is stated
that we exported 60 per cent more
than in 1913.
Either some other influences than
supply and demand have been oper¬
ating, or must operate in the future,

if under such conditions of produc¬
tion and export American prices are
to come down much. To the average
person it looks as if the only way to
reduce prices is to tarce speculation
and undue profits out, as far as pos¬
sible, and produce more or send less
out of the country. There is no rea¬
to expect any great reduction in
price of farm products to
in the near future.—The
Farmer.
