The principal address at the closing session was made by Frank E. Samuel, Indianapolis, national adjutant. He outlined the Legion's program, saying that many of those who oppose ust benefits for disabled soldiers are those who did not share the burden of war in 1917 and 1918, but instead benefitted most by the war. He added that the Legion's first allegiance is to disabled veterans, 'that America comes first and the Legion next. Samuels scored, those Legionnairewho, because they are in the minority in questions which conic up in tlu Legion, withdraw their membership, rather than submit in a sportsmans-' like manner to the rule of the majority, but said he believed this type wara ro.

Trench Silo Costs Little But Labor Clemson College, July 28.?'.The farmer who gets the most out of his fodder, turns it into silage," becomes an old truth with a new meaning a* many fanners find that trench ailos place silage wfthin the means and reach of all who have time to dig them. As a measure of conserving eveiy bit of feed, C. G. Cushman, extension dairyman, points out the ease with which trynch silos may be construct* ed. These are merely trenches dug [in the ground with the ends on an incline so that a team or tractor can he driven through, as practically uU the construction work is done wiin team or tractor power. The side walls are tlnfshed smooth and neatly perpendicular with a spade so that the trench is narrower at the bottom than at the top. The width, depth and particularly the length vary with the number of animals to be fed. If allowance is made for spoilage, "H | storage space of 60 to 70 cubic fee*or more will be required to obtain a ton of silage for feeding. A site *with good drainage is .mportant. A soil which is too sandy or one in whch the water table is to > high is not satisfactory. Another objection is the accumulation of water when there is a heavy winter rainfall. This objection can be overcome by building a shed-type roof over^ the silo. As a depression measure, Tnany farmers in South Carolina have constructed straw roofs, which serve to protect the silos in winter and prevent sloughing in summer while they are empty. Because trench silos are not very deep, the silage does not pack much I j by its own weight, and it should he tramped during or after filling. This can be done by men or animals, or with a tractor. The silage should be covered with 4 to 6 inches of straw and then with 8 to 10 inches -of ear'h. Trench silos are emptied by'beginning at one end and working toward the other rather than from top ;o bottom as in the case of silos above ground. If one end of the trench is sloping, a cart, wagon or truck can be backed in to make removal easier. b YJBBsssammmmmmmmmm ?'.iLj'.ilj ...j.jjmmiiiiiL.uH,, j^ Death of John W. I)?vIh John W.
