BOILD A SILO Council of Defense Wishes to See 5,000 Silos Built by Fall. REASONS ARE MANY Why the Farmer Should Construct the Needed Addition. (United r-resn Service) Indianapolis, July 24 -‘‘lf you m not shoulder a gun build a silo.” That is the slogan being preached to Indiana farmers by M. Douglas. s.v cessful Flatrock. Shelby county farmer who is speaking to rural audiences at request of the Indiana council of ■!<- sense. “Never in the history of the country can a silo be built for as few bushels of corn as now,” said Douglas. ‘ A $250 silo can be built for less than 150 bushels of corn.” The scarcity of wheat, the extra demand which will be made on the United States for exjiort wheat and the high price of corn has caused the government to figure on a cheap feed for live stock thus releasing more corn for export, says Douglas. The silo answers the question best, in his opinion. “The building of a silo is of great benefit, both to the man and to the government from a money standpoint.’ Douglas said. “The State Council of Defense will reach every county in the state before September in order to tell of the many benefits which are derived form the use of silos. “The council of defense wishes to see 5,000 silos built by fall. They really want to see twice that number built but there are only 5,000 silos available. Douglas gave the following reasons why every farmer who keeps live stock should have a silo. The silo preserves the palatability and succulence of the green corn plant for winter feeding. It helps to make use of the entire corn plant. The silo increases the live stock capacity of the farm. Silage is a good summer food wh -n pastures are short. Because of the small amount of ground space required by the silo, it is an economical means of storing forage The silo prevents the waste of corn stalks, leaves and husks, which contain about two-fifths of the feeding value of the corn plant. The sila located near the feed manger is gn assurance of having feed near at hand in stormy as well as fair weather. The silo assists in reducing the cost of grains in fattening cattle and sheep. Silage greatly increases the mtik flow during the winter season and 4< - creases the cost of production. There are no stalks to bother in th manure when corn in put into tin 1 silo.
