While the silo is no longer an experiment but a very necessary adjunct to every up-to-date farm not enough of them are found in the state to meet the demands of the times is the opinion of the commission. J Co-pperating with the JaspenCounty Better. Farming association four silo meetings will be held in the county this week. On nbxt Friday afternoon the first meeting 1 will be hdld» at the Premo theater ,at Wheatfield. County Superintendent-elect Sterrett will open the meeting with a patriotic address. J. C.
