Texaa Business Men's Aaao:iation
Nearly two-thirds of the silos In Texas
have been built during the past year
and their construction Is one of the
most lmixirtant event ever recorded
In tbe history of Texas agriculture.
The movement seems to be Just well
under way as t.fcoo more have been
ordered from' manufacturers and will
be put up in Texas before tbe close of
tbe present year. Fifteen silos have
been built on Texas farms every day
during th patt twelve months and
present indication are that this
record will be greatly exceeded during
tbe remainder of 1914.
First Accurate Figures.
Never before bas a complete census
of tbe number of alio in Texas been
made and no absolutely accurate data
of tbe number is available as the United
States Census Bureau has never
enumerated alios In making Its decen
nial estimates of farms and farm con-
ditions In this State. Tbe absence of
reliable information and tbe import-
ance of tbe economic change which
are to follow the general use of silage
In meat production and live stock
raising prompted tbe ctatistlcal bu-
reau of tbe Texas Business Men's As-
sociation to make an exhaustive Inves-
tigation and Its conclusions are pre-
sented with full confidence in their
accuracy. In compiling the data de-
tailed reports were received from ten
Texas silo companies eighty-four
I'nlted States demonatration acenta
187 commercial organizations and fifty-seven
Farmers' I'nlon locals In
Texas and the Investigation Included
practically every county In the State.
From these reports the conservative
estimate of 8.560 was made for the
entire State and this f pure has been
verified bv many persons connected
with the industry and familiar with
the use of the silo In this State.
Average Capacity Increasing.
Every kind of silo in existence Is
In use In Texas. The pit or under
ground silo predominates in the Pan-'
handle and those of cement and wood
construction are popular in all other
parts of tbe State. There are ten fac-
tories in Texas that manufacture silos
and an equal number of foreign com-
panies have agencies here.
From the report furnished It Is ap-
parent that the size of the silos now
being constructed are much larger
than those previously built The av-
erage capacity of the Texas silo at the
present time is 120 tons; a year ago
It was 100 tons and the capacity of

The constant advance In the prW c!
farm land and the growins diffWuly
of profitably producing upon It .
centered general attention upon theae
silage feeding experiment. KboI-
edre of the favorable re'ilt bf
quickly reached th
and a ri.nd wave of silo building 1
followed. !
Tbe silo was first Introduced in the 1
arid sections of Texaa for the pu-re
of preserving moisture In feed cro;
In Brazoria and adjoining counti It
performs an entirely different f-nc-.
tlon. It protects the crop from ex-
cessive moisture. Some parts of ihi
section of tbe State are subject to
overflow and rainfall Is more frequent
here than In any other part of the
Ptate. The heavy dew formation In
this section too has a tendency to
render haymaking Impossible on ac-
count of the moulding and deteriora-
tion of the graas before curing can be
effected. Since the Introduction of the
silo in Brazoria County dairy cows
are being fed at an average coat of
$1.50 per head per month. Before en-
silage came into use the average
monthly cost was around $10.
Half Million Silo Needed.
There is one silo to every fifty
farms In Texas but to properly feed
the live stock of this State there
should be at least one silo on every
Texas farm. There are 418000 farms
in Texas and to equip them with silos
will require an Investment of 1109-:
(OO.noo. This is an enormou outlay.
but by proper management they would
hit for themselves the first vear and
' - i
tbe aavlng each year afterward would !
be clear profit as there is no over-'
bead expense In maintaining a alio.
Texas never bas bad a surplus of
feed for any length of time and more
often there is a ahortage. Texas
farmers buy $i00"0.000 worth of corn
each year in other States and none

During the past decade there baa
been a decreaae of three and one-half
million head in the number of meat
producing animals in Texas and our
shortage of beef has materially affect-
ed the Nation's meat supply. This de-
crease has been brought about prin-
cipally by the changing of Texas from
a grazing to an arrlcultural State and
this conditicn will continue until a

Brown County has the largest silo in
the State. Its capacity is S00 tons.
The 20-ton silo Is the smallest In com-

The First Silo.
When and where the first silo was
built In the world is not a matter of
record. However Its ubc Is as old as
agriculture iself and frequent mention
Is made of the silo in the Bible. It Is
claimed that the first silo ever built
in. tbe I'nlted States was In Michigan
in 1S75; the first one to be construct-
ed in Texas Is said to be in 1893. It
was built by a German farmer In San
Saba County.
There are more silos in South Texas
than any other section of the State
the total number being around 3300.
In the Panhandle there are 1500. Tbe
stock raising sections of West Texas
are well supplied with these storages
and the number In North and East
Texas is rapidly Increasing. Brazoria
ha more silos than any other Texas
county tbe total number being 292.
Of this number 242 are within a ra
dius of seven miles of Alvln one of
the leading dairy centers of the State.
