\ Thursday, July 21, 1932 MeCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK. SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER EIGHT VOTE FOR TAYLOR Trench Silo Boon To Dairy Farmers NEW MEANS OF SAVING SILAGE FOR COWS VERY SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE (By C. G. Cushman, Extension Dairyman.) j|||jp V FOR CONGRESS HE STANDS FOR— Economy and business methods in governmental affairs; less waste and extravagance in Washington and lower tax bur- , dens, in keeping with the re duced income of the average citizen.' HE BELIEVES-- The farmer is entitled to a fair price for his products, and the laboring man deserves the right to have a job at a living wage; that both should receive the same consideration, in all mat ters of taxation, as the wealthy classes. He favors rehabilita tion of agriculture as the basis of American prosperity. HE PROMISES--- / To represent all of the people fairly and impartially; to fight for honest government, and the people’s rights, and against bureaucracy and favoritism for the privileged few. If elected. he will have no ^‘drones” on the government payroll. JNO. C. TAYLOR— Is capable, aggressive, and knows the needs and problems One of the most practical and workable contributions ever made to farm dairying in South Caro- ina is the trench silo, which was first introduced by D. B. Sease of Newberry, in 1926, jftid which has spread raipidly in popularity under the direction of the Clemson Col lege Extension Service. This type of silo is the very essence of sim plicity and because of its simplicity fits admirably into the scheme of any dairy farmer who could not previously afford the investment in an erect type. The cost of the trench silo is negligible. It can conceivably be built without any cash outlay what ever. In 1931, 72 such silos were built under the direction of the Extension Service and records of construction costs were kept on quite a number of them showing an average cost of 79 cents per ton capacity. Thus a trench silo with sl capacity of 30 tons would cost $23.70. These figures allow a lib eral charge for farm labor and mule labor as well as the cost of a roof. Several farmers built these silos in 1931 with no cash outlay, using farm labor on idle days and building the roof out of rough boards or other waste material around the farm. ' As one farmer | expressed it, “The only obstacle in the way of building a trench silo is making up your mind to have one.” Care should be exercigpd in sel ecting a well drained place, pref erably where there is a hard qlay subsoil and the natural water table in wet weather will be be low the bottom of the trench con structed. This type silo is usually built along one Side of the barn and the roof is constructed as a shed type, attached to the side of the barn. The adaptability of this silo to the size of herd kept is one of its greatest appeals. As the herd grows, the silo can be dug wider and longer to meet the feeding re quirements. A trench silo six feet wide at the top, four feet wide at the bottom, five feet deep and 24 feet long will feed six cows the required amount of silage for 100 days. Twelve cows will require a silo seven feet wide at the top, five feet wide at the bottom, six feet deep, and 34 feet long to furnish During the fifty-sixth Intercol legiate A. A. A. A. track and field championships held in Edwards Stadium, B e rkeley, Cal., William 2arr won the 440 yard dash in the amazing time of 47 seconds flat. On May 16, 1931, at Philadelphia, that great athlete, Ben Eastman of Le- ’and Stanford Junior University, ran the same distance in 47.4 sec onds. That time was to have been ;ubmitt e d by the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States to the •nternational Federation govern ing track and field athletics, for adoption as a world’s record. The original time for the distance made by a college athlet e back in 1876 was 56 seconds. In 1916 J. E. Mered ith of the University of Pennsyl vania ran the distance in 47 2-5 seconds.

By winning the championship on his first at tempt, Vines becomes the third in all the long history of Wimbledon to accomplish that feat.

Either corn or cane is adaptable to this type of silo. These crops are harvested just as the grain is passing from the dough stage and cut into lengths one-half to three- fourths inch in an ensilage cutter or power-driven feed cutter and packed well in the trench. When the trench is full, a layer of cut straw is spread over the silage fol lowed by a 10-to-12- inch layer of J^the earth which has been taken out in digging the silo, and is wet down with water. Feeding may start at any time after two or three weeks. The straw and the dirt are thrown back from a small area near the feeding end and a sloping layer of silage from top to bottom is fed each day, the straw and dirt being thrown back daily as the silage is the eighth; with a miller of 20 years’ experience in charge.

Any farmer who is interested in trench silos can get full directions from his county agent or by writ ing to the Division of Publications at Clemson College and requesting Circular 121, “The Trench Silo.” This circular contains complete di rections for construction. It also contains directions for building the partial underground type, which is adaptable to the lower section of the state where the water table is too high for the ordinary trench silo or the land is too sandy or not properly drained.

X Cool Salads Spur Summer Appetite ‘Crispness and coolness are the essentials of a summer time menu,” says Inez S. Willson, home econo mist, “and one of the best ways of inserting that coolness and crisp ness into the menu is by the use of a salad.” Salads, thoroughly chill ed, and garnished with crisp let tuce, watercress or endive are cap able of putting the edge on the un sharpened appetite that is so often found when the mercury mounts higher. Here are some salad suggestions. Sweetbread and Cucumber Salad 1 cup sweetbreads, parboiled and cubed 1-2 cup cucumber, diced. 1-2 cup finely cut celery. Salt and pepper. Cream dressing. Lettuce. Parboil sweetbreads for 20 min utes in water to which 1 tablespoon vinegar has been added for each quart. Plunge them into cold wat er, drain, and place in refrigerator to chill until needed. Mix sweet breads, celery and cucumber. Sea son with salt and pepper, add a cream dressing and chill. Arrange on lettuce or in cucumber cups and sprinkle with paprika. . Cream Dressing 1-2 cup whipping cream. 3 tablespoons vinegar. 1-4 teaspoon salt. Few grains pepper. Beat cream until stiff, using an egg beater. Add salt, pepper, and vinegar slowly, continue to beat un til thick. Pork and Fruit Combination Salad 1 cup cold roast pork, diced fine. 2 teaspoons gelatine. 1-2 cup mayonnaise. 1 tablespoon tarragon vinegar. \ need a piece of silk about ten inch es deep, 75 inches long to mak e a strip of pleating twenty-five inches long. The strip of silk for band and ends should be 45 inches long. Cut the strip of silk two and a half inches wide so that when folded over lengthwis e , stitched 1-4 inch from either side and <trawn right side out, you will have a band one inch wide. The 25 inches in the center should be used as a band on which to mount the pleating. You may make a scarf of this sort of plain color e d silk crepe to wear on a figured dress or of dot ted or otherwise printed silk crepe to wear with a plain toned dress. To wear as a very light evening ,wrap or scarf you might make the pleating of light ton e d chiffon. * Two short ends and one long side of the big piece should be fin ished with a narrow flat hem or machine picot and should then be taken to the professional pleaters to be laid in fairly wid e side pleats. -IXi- Birthday Party Little Hicks Hines, Jr., celebrated his 7th birthday Thursday after noon with a birthday party, to which a number of his little friends were invited.

Candidates for Congress from the Third Congressional District and for solicitor from the 11th Judicial Circuit were heard in addresses here at the court house yesterday morning, a crowd that practical ly filled the court room was pres ent for the meeting. For solicitor, T. C. Callison, in cumbent, of Lexington, is opposed by McKendrie Barr, of Leesville. Mr. Barr was the first speaker and asked the voters to give him the job as solicitor of McCor- | mick, Edgefield, Lexington and Saluda counties. He told the vot ers that he is well qualified for the position and if elected will dis charge the duties with efficiency and intergrity. J. a. Talbert, chairman of the county executive committee, presided at the meet ing. Mr. Callison, who has been solici tor of this circuit for 12 years, cited his record as the chief qualifica tions' upon which he is seeking re- election. He stated that he had always given close attention to the duties of the office and had re ceived the commendation of friends and enemies alike for the fairness and justice which he has always attempted to mete out. National extravagances and the present economic crisis were the chief issues discussed by candidates for congress. John C. Taylor, An derson county clerk of court who is seeking the office this year, won generous applause in his address flaying ridiculous and useless ex travagances and congressional dis regard of the needs of the people of this district. Mr. Taylor stated that if the people of this district ever receive relief from burdensome taxes and useless expenditures, tkis relief must come from the fed eral government through acts of congress. He presented figures to show how the cost of the federal government has grown in the past eight years. He stated that the cost of operating the government as a whole is ap proximately $10,000,000,000 more now than eight years ago. This increase he attributed to congres sional disregard of the rights and wishes of a people who are al ready heavily burdened with taxes. He advocated collection of inter national debts and a revision of the tax system placing taxes on those people who are able to pay. “Members of congress alone,” Mr. Taylor stated, “could save $1,322- 000 per year if they would vote a slight cut of tljeir own salaries, the salaries of their secretaries and would discharge all relatives from their payrolls.” He is in favor of payment'in full of the veterans’ bonus and says that he is willing for the people of South Carolina and this district especially to go to the polls and vote on the prohibi tion question. Mr. Taylor is per sonally and politically dry. D. A. G. Ouzts, Greenwood can didate, in his address said that the increase in the costs of gov ernment are alarming and that about one out of every eight per sons in this country is on the pay roll of federal, state, or county gov ernments. “The citizenry of this district and state is made up of two types of people,” he said. “Taxeaters and taxpayers. If things continue as they have in the past, it won’t be long before every taxpayer has a taxeater on his back.” Mr. Ouzts said that Congressman Fred Dominick has his brother, Harry Dominick, of Newberry, on his payroll, receiving $1,100.00 per year, “for apparently no earthly reason.” He stated that formerly public office was a public trust but in recent years has come to be a private snap for congressmen, sena tors, other officials and members of their families. Congressman Fred H. Dominick, who has served McCormick coun ty and this district for the j>ast 16 years, said that the republican par ty which has been in power for the past 12 years is responsible for the depression and the constantly in creasing cost of government. He stated that the large increases in expenditures have been added to the appropriations bills since 1921 when the republicans replaced the democrats in the senate, the house, and administrative power. He pre dicted that he would be elected again. He stated that he voted against the cancellation of war debts while a member cf congress and voted “Don’t Be Misled” All drugs that are bought as standards from reliable man- facturers are bound to be pure.
