Clemseh College, July 20.?Over 150 farmers have written the Extension Di vial on of Clemson College for in? formation and assistance In construct? ing silos this year. Out of this num? ber, probably 76 will actually build. Others expect to build, but wait until It Is too late.. In, order to have the silo rwegjr *er this year's corn crop, the fartssar etaeunl begin work now. Thoee fsMgg h*er than August Bit te sUrtrWry seldom have their silo ready when the corn is ready to cut. Filling the Silo. There are several good silage ctotters on the niarket, the most modern, hav? ing the self-feeding) table. In setting a blower machine it is necessary to have the pipe aa nearly perpendicular ns possible, so that the ? current of air within the pipe will lift the material. ' This Is especially triie where the pipe ie long, say 20 feet or more, because the greeti fodder being heavy will settle on the Jower side, and the wind blast will pass over it, allow? ing It to lodge; whereas, If the pipe Is perpendicular, or nearly so, no stop? page will occur. It Is also necessary to see that full speed la attained be- i fore beginning to feed the machine, and also to stop feeding while the machine is in full motion so Jthat the blower will have an opportunity to clear Itself before shutting off the power. Investigations conducted by the United States Department of Agricul? ture with 27 silos In various parts of the United States Indicate the cost of filling to be an average of 87 cents pet ton. The east of growing the ullage crop was $1.58 per ton on the average, which, added to the filling cost, makes the average total cost of silage $2.41 per ton. However, no definite statement can be made as to the ex? act cost of silage, as so much depends upon the yield per acre. * of pro? duction, and other conditions trtut vary greatly in different sectln* of the country.
