BUILD TOUR SILO
THIS TEN SURE
COTTRELL MAKES ANOTHER AP
PEAL TO FARMERS TO RAISE
LIVE STOCK
COUNTRY IS VERY SHORT OF BEEF
1
More Siloa Means Bigger Profits and
at the Same Time Will Lotoer
Price of Beef to the
Consumer
(By H M Cottrell)
This country is short of beef There
vias barely an adequate supply six
years ago There are fifteen and a
halt million less beef cattle in the
United States now than there were six
years ago and there has been a
marked increase in population We
do not have enough beef to go around
and as a consequence the price is ab-
normally high Stockmen decreased
their beef herds because with the
usual feed stuffs there was more money
in selling their crops than in feeding
them
In the past two years a few beef
producers in most of the feeding com-
munities of the west have been testing
silage as a part of the growing and
fattening rations and have found that
it reduces )y one-half the amount of
grain required in fattening animals
shortens the fattening period and im-
proves the quality of the beet They
also found that silage materially lesserv
ed the cost of feeding growing ani-
mals hastened their maturity and
greatly Increased the cattle carrying
capacity of the farms The general
use of silage bv the cattle growers of
the west will enable feeders to raise
and fatten at a profit a much larger
number of beef cattle while at the
same time supplying beef more cheap-
ly to the' consumer Silage means sal-
vation to both the beef maker and the
beef eater
For years silage from corn has been
the only kind that has given profitable
returns in feeding beef cattle The
Kansas agricultural college has Just
completed two years feeding tests that
demonstrate that silage front kafir and
sorghum is pound for pound equal to
that from corn when the crops are
harvested at the right time Stock-
men have been cutting all three crops
at the same time To make good silage
kafir and sorghum must be cut 'two or
three weeks later than corn the cut-
ting to be done when the seeds are
ripe but while the stalks are full of
srp
This discovery shows the way
whereby the plains of the southwest
can become the beef producing center
of America In eastern Colorado
wrestern Kansas western Oklahoma
the Panhandle and all of western
Texas either ka'fir or sorghum pro-
duces as great a tonnage per acre aa
corn In the Mississippi valley and are
just as sure crops Milo another sure
crop in dry land districts will furnish
the grain to feed with the silage
Every farmer in the southwest
should build a silo this season and get
the profits from it Most farmers
should build several silos The silo is
adapted to every size of farm and
ranch and to every pockethook The
silo will be profitable to every farmer
A C Tinsley Seibert Colorado dug
a round hole In ground 7 feet across
and 18 feet deep He made a silo hy
plastering the earth walls with cement
that -cost $6 05 Mr Tinsley's profits
from feeding the silage from this silo
Wfere $100 more than when he fed the
same amount of feed dry H B John-
son Chickasha Oklahoma spent $3:i00
for six large wood silos He fed the
silage In these to 1260 steers that
were being fattened He made $12600
snore on these steers than he did on
the same number fattened without
silage BUILI) A SILO THIS SEA-
SON SHOULD BUILD DAMS IN RAVINES
—
Superintendent Buchanan Telle How
to Coneerve the Rainfall
"If the farmers of Oklahoma instead
of allowing the annual rainfall to How
away unchecked would build dams in
the ravines creek and rive- bottoms
conserving tbe water supply for evap-
oration during the months of late
spring and summer the hot winds of
tbe state would lose their destructive
power" declared G V Buchanan su
perlntendent of the schools pf Okla-
homa City In an address at the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma
"This mar appear to be a radical
and even visionary scheme" explained
Superintendent Buchanan "hut I be
lieve that in time the people of Okla
koma will turn to this plan as the
only practical means of combatting
the efforts of the drouth which has
played havoc with crops In tbe past
few years”

Five Hundred Lawton Men Spend a
Day on the Roads and the

Five hundred Lawton citizens turned
out one day recently and spent ten
hours in working the roads leading
into the city The date bad been char-
acterized as county good roads day
and the roadwork was general Several-miles
of good roads into the city
were completed 125 teams being used
The women of the city furnished lunch
for the workers at the noon hour
Much preliminary work bad been done
by the farmers of tbe school district
and within the last sixty days more
road building has been done in Co-
manche' 'county than In all previous
time since the county wqs established
- The good roads movement has been
continually agitated and the long peri-
od of almost impassable roads at
Christmas time awakened both farm-
ers and merchants to tbe necessity of
improving the highways A great lay’a
work was accomplished Tbe move-
ment had been fostered by the Lawton

One Good Silo Deserves Another
The average farmer or stockman
who constructed his silo long erfough
ago to thoroughly try out silage with
his stock has Already built another
or perhaps a third one
Sorghums Are Successful
Kafircorn milo maize and the sweet
sorghums must be considered as the
best silage crops for the southwest
These crops are droutii-reslstautand
more dependable than corn

LARGER PROFITS AND LESS LA-

MILK OR BUTTER

UR AN0 HRS WILEY PIOKEERS
Frisco' Railroad Plans 8pecial Dairy
Train Tour of tho Stato — Com-
parison of Choeao and
Buttar
The project of cheese making by
the farmer instead of making butter
or selling milk and cream which was
started in Garfield county by Mr and
Mrs J H Wiley la spreading all over
the state and is attracting ' notice
from many other states far removed
from Oklahoma
A special series of demonstrations
given by the Wileys early ln the fall
has Induced many farmers to take up
the making of cheese and all of them
are having marked success Instead
of making the milk into buttfer to be
told at the village store or to the
produce man or separating the cream
with an expensive machine and carry-
ing It to -market each day the Wileys
make a cream cheese for which they
find a ready market at any store and
for which there ie always a demand
as soon as customers become accus-
tomed to it The work of cheese mak-
ing with the simple home apparatus
Is saidfby Mrs Wiley to be less than
half a a difficult as that of making
butter and the surprising point of
tbe whole matter is the fact that the
milk made into cheese brings more
than twice the profit on butter or
cream
Conditions at Enid where the Wil-
eys began their cheese making are
similar to those to be found in any
city of similar size or villagd of
nuich smaller proportions A large
quantity of cheese of the common
American cream cheese variety Is
imported usually from Wisconsin or
New York This cheese costs at
wholesale a little more than 20 cents
a pound ‘and retails for 25 cents
Forty percent’of the cheese say Enid
merchants is sold to farmers and
there is a constantly increasing de-
mand for cheese as in many menus
It is coming to take the ''place of
meat as p solution of the high’ cost
of living The market therefore for
this cheese Is always to be found
The Wileys sell their cheese for 20
cents a pound and it Is retailed there
for 22 cents a pound and preferred
in quality by many people to the 25-
cent grade which is imported
Cheese and Butter Values
The Wileys supply the following
figures as to the relative value of 10U
pounds of milk made into cheese and
made into butter One hundred pounds
of milk will make from ten to twelve
pounds of good cheese or about four
pounds of butler rarely more Tbe
ten to twelve pounds of cheese will
bring $2 or $225 while the butter
has been selling In Enid moBt of the
winter for 15 cents a pound or at the
most 25 cents a pound which would
mean from 80 cents to $1 for the but-
ter Such a comparison makes it very
evident that the cheese is twice as
remunerative as butter and' Mrs
Wiley accentuates tbe idea that it It
more easily made
Tbe cheese as marketed by Mrs
Wiley Is usually in ten pound blacks
that being the amount made each day
on their farm Each cheese is marked
with the date on which it is made
and after being kept to ripen for us-
ually six weeks is sold The date
enables the buyer to select a very
fresh cheese or an older one as his
taste dictates '
The Wileys live -on an Oklahoma
farm of 160 acres The cheese has
been as much of a side product as
butter making on a small scale us-
ually is on other farms and It is this
application to the ordinary farm
which they insist would double the
profits to the ordinary farmer from
the small herd of cows usually kept
That it is Just as applicable to the
larger dairy farmer who keeps more
cattle is shown by the success of a
farmer near Garber who has a large
herd of Jersey cows and who has sold
cream for many years This farmer
ia now realizing twice the profit from
hit milk since early last fall he be-
gan making cheese according to the
Wiley method
Interest in the Wiley experiment fa
o great that the Enid chamber of
commerce has taken up the subject
with the Frisco and the agricultural
commissioner of that road ia coming
to Enid to Interview tbe WUeyt and
consider the expediency of sending
lit a special dairy train with them at
demonstrators and lecturers

ADAIR JURY GIVES
FOLSOM LIFE-TERM
(Continued from first page) 'i
the sidewalk in VVestville '
The defendant’s only plea was
that he became temporarily in-
sane at the very instant he fired
the shots and was therefore not
responsible for Jiis act There
was no evidence to substantiate
an insanity' plea and the jury-
justly and rightly said that one
who takes life in such manner in -Adair
County cannot escape the
penalty of the law The plea of
insanity cannot save the elo-
quence of lawyers will not avail
Prom now henceforth and forev-
er in Adair County when one vio-
lates the law and comes before a
jury of twelve honest law abiding
Citizens he will surely suffer the
penalty for his act It should be '
so It is an example set not only
for the murderers and criminals
of our own county but the in
flnence will be felt all over the
state when the time comes
that a man knows he must pay
the forfeit for crime committed
our state will advance in civiliza
tion and enlightenment We are
living in a civilized age and all '
relics of barbarism must be rel-
egated to the past When Tandy
Folsom murdered Pat DorQ in
cold blood and unprovoked he
placed himself beyond the pale
of human sympathy and forfeit-
ed all claims to the consideration
and protection ’ of society He
alone is responsible for his con-
dition The jury have only done
their duty to themselves their
families and their country The
results will be far-reaching and
extremely salutary — Stilwell

Bank Deposits Show a
Decrease
A decrease of more than $1-
000000 in individual deposits in
Oklahoma state banks since Jan-
uary 13 is shown in a consoli-
dated statement issued by the
state banking department Fri-
day The statement is based on
reports received by the depart-
ment under call of March 4
A decrease in deposits at this
season of the year is not uncom-
mon according to officials of the
banking department who give
as the reason the fact that far-
mers are using their money iii
preparation for spring cultiva-
tion and spring trading
Other than the decrease in de-
posits the reiort which follows
