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.

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.

' '"
President Harrison of Southern Points
Out Its Great Growth in Industrial
and Agricultural Lines.
Atlanta, July 20.?How remarkable
has been the South's progress along'
agricultural ami industrial lines dur?
ing the past decade was strikingly
brought out by President Fairfax Har?
rison, of Southern Railway Company,
in an address before the Virginia
Bankers' Association. >
Mr. Harrison gave figures showing
that during thus period with an In?
crease in population of but 14.13 per
cent, the South increased the assessed
value of its property 81.25 per cent.,
its total wealth 129.23 per cent, the
value of Its agricultural products 56.51
per cent, of its live stock 51:82 per
cent, Iis manufactures 107.66 per
cent, and its mineral products 42.80
per cent. The number of banking In?
stitutions Increased 68.75 per cent.,
banking capital 68.92 per cent., de?
posits 77.28 per cent, and surplus
121.99 per cent. The mileage of im?
proved roads increased 117.28 per cent
and the revenue devoted to public
schools 150.31 per cent.
Comparing the Industrial progress
of the South with that of Germany
which has been the subject of so much
comment, Mr. Harrison pointed out
that from 1872 to 1913 the increase in
the production of coal in the South
was 6,434 per cent as against 4 71 per
cent in Germany and the increase in
the production of pig iron in the
South 2,512 per cent, as against 866
por cent, in Germany. From 1880 to
1913 the South's consumption of cot?
ton increased 1,4 f.S per cent, as
against an increase of 226 per cent, in
Germany. During the same period
the mileage of railways in the South
Increased ~ 1 1 par cent, in Germany 81
per cent: passenger miles in the South
increased 1,262 per cent., In Germany
;"':?; per cent: ton miles increased in
the South 2,854 per cent., in Germany
;.T2 per cent,
Declaring that the prosperity of
the South and the Southern Railway
are Irrevocably linked together, that
the needs <?f the South arc identical
with the needs of the Southern Rail?
way, and that the growth and the suc?
cess of the one means the Upbuilding
of the other, Mr. Harrison dosed by
stating that he Knew no higher I"
