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,

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.
