“Why Use Silos
in Texas County
This in essentially a Block farm-
ing country hinI it requires plenty
of good succulent feed Ht oil limes
of (lie year for best results in rais-
ing any kind of livestock The silo
'is the one sure way uad tlm only
sure way to Itave it Using our
(train sort'll mas and canes as dry
fodder lit least two fifths of the
feeding value is wasted ami the dry
feed is not us appetizing as the sil-
age There is seldom a year here
hut at some season of it our pas-
tures are cut short on account of a
dry spell and unless we have some-
thing to supplement the pasture
our slock will lose flesh that will re-
quire extra feed or pasture to re-
gain By the use ofsdos more
stock can lie kept per farm und
that means more profit per farm'
Cows and sows if properly handled
are the best revenue producers on
the fai in und it is a hard matter to
keep either profitably on the upland
farm here without the silo Silagt
is good for all kinds of stock hut
returns a greater revenue when fed
tjeows If you have the cows and
a silo ii means that you can keep
I lie brood sows Ht a profit Th
si luge and skim milk taking the
place of the pastme you have so
lunch trouble in making for your
hogs it is u well established fuel
that hogs cannot he grown at
profit in dry lots unless you have
skim milk silage or u good protein
feed to hulunce your grain rution
Silage enables you to produce beef
pork and mutton cheaper it in-
creases the milk flow in the winter
it enables the farmer to farm fewer
acres to produce enough feed and
leave more ucres in the pasture
bet's see how many silos we can
pul down in Texas county this sum-

store or some other lucrative business
Texhoma und her talk was quite
interesting

talk on ''ChriHtiun Education"

every Baptist especially in tills As-
sociation Miss Christine Denny of Texhoma
made her first talk la public on the
'Sunbeam Work" and the way she
told the slory of licrownexficrleuce

ber of Indies on various topics nml

prettv stiff gale on Sunday night
during (lie heavy rain storm and
as a result Pres Sharp had to make
a purchase of a new wheel on Mon-
day It was u 12-foot wood wheel

kindling
Let’s Celebrate
the Fourth
It has been suggested that we
have a Fourth of July celebration
and Invite our neighbors to come
in and enjoy the day In the old
fushioned way In a mighty good
little old town
One merchant will furnish lemon-
ade and others will furnish other
things for the day to entertain the
visitors
We would suggest that the day
might end with a displuy of fireworks
and a free-for-all entertainment of
music stump speedtes and readmit'
by home talent in the College audi-
torium at night
If there Is a knocker in the town
he will object to tills idea as a
knocker does not enjoy anything
that points to a waking up and
doing things by the folks who me
after business and making the town
hum
Wlmt do you say to the idea of
Celdebruting? Tell us your feelings
and wliut you are willing to do and
we will push the question harder
