TRENCH KILOS SHOULD
BE BUILT WITH CARE
There are i> number of farmer* in
Baylor counly digging trench hIIo*
during the wet weather, and too many
mistake* have been made in the di-
mension* of these hilo*. Farmers are
tiffed not to start the Kilo* too wide, 1
ax this is their common mistake
For the average farmer, with 10 to
It head of cattle to feed, the silo
should not exceed 8 ft, in width at
the top and a depth of (I or 7 ft,, with
u width of 8 ft at the bottom. The
silos should slope in one foot for
each three feet of depth
The following example will give
some idea ns to how to figure a silo.
A silo 8 ft. wide at (lie top, 6 ft, wide j
at the bottom will give an average
width of 7 ft. This times II ft deep
will equal 42 ft,, which times 53 ft.,
the length, gives 2,810 cubic ft.
Chopped silage In this type silo
will weigh about 50 pounds per cu. ft.
after It has settled, 2,310 cu ft. x 50
pounds per cu ft. will equal 115,500
pounds, or about 57 tons of silage.
With the present moisture condi-
tions, the bundle feed In Baylor coun-
ty should average from five to eight
tons of green feed to the acre. The
above figures describe a silo that
would hold approximately ten acres
of the average feed.
If you would care to store more
feed then ten acres in this silo, leave
the dimensions at the top and bottom
and dig it one foot deeper and longer
to store as much feed as desired. The

I am asking the voters of Baylor

much,
Havlnu finished rural high school

went into the gasoline business, sell-

THE PUBLIC INVITED!
The Brazos Valley Postal Employes
Association was formed at Haskell on
Monday evening, with Postmaster W.
B Alexander, Walter Goodwin and
Price Franklin from the office and
rural carriers Porter Brown and Vir-
gil Woodruff in attendance. There
were about 50 present at the organi-
zation meeting, and the Association
will meet at regular intervals for a
beneficial get-together. One Purpose
of the Association is to disseminate
a still better knowledge of the pos-
tal laws, and another purpose Is to
exchange ideas on how the employes
can best serve the public. Perhaps
it might be interesting to part of the
public to know that It is the earnest
desire of Uncle Sam» boys to give
the best possible mail service, an
te do this With the utmost courtesy
anti interest in the patron s welfare.

M. H. Roc of Bomarton was in
Saturday to renew the home paper
that is going to his non, Rornce Roe
of Marshall Ford Dam, near Austin.
Mr. Roe has been working with the
contractors on this job for some time,
and will probably be there eighteen
months longer. The original con-
tract was completed, but now the
dam Is being raised higher.
Mr*. Taylor Kell* Home
Mrs, Mattie E. Taylor has sold her
elegant brick home in the northwest
part of Seymour to Mr. and Mrs. John
E Fritz of GoTee. This Is one of the
nicest, although not the largest, of
the more pretentious homes of the
town, and Mr, and Mrs. Fritz will
have a lovely place in which to live,
Mrs, Taylor has had her home for
four years, and has improved the
grounds in a manner to compare with
the residence. Mrs. Fritz was Miss
Johnnie Patton until some ten months
ago. Her family and Mrs, Taylor
have been friends for many years,
and she was familiar with the home
of Mrs. Taylor. Mr. Fritz had lived
a bachelor all these years, looking
after his ranch southwest of Bomar-
ton. He thought of going to Abilene
to live, but ail ore glad that he and
wife finally decided on Seymour.
Mrs. Taylor has been making plans
to build another home, into which
she hopes to move before giving up
her place. In selling the Western
Pharmacy recently she acquired the
L, R. Mickey residence, across the
street west from her home, and this
will he where her new place will
be located. The house there now will
be torn down, and part of the lumber
used in the new construction, Her
plans call for a six-room residence,
with bath, porches, and all the ac-
cessories needed for somfort and con-
venience. to say nothing of beatuy.
There will be three bedrooms on the
south, with reception room on the
northeast, dining room back of that
and kitchen ori the northwest corner.
It will be a frame structure, with
outside walls being beveled siding.
When ft is finished there will be no-
thing left undone to make it complete.
Mrs. Taylor has thought a good
many times about locating at some
other place, and that idea occurred
to her on this occasion But she
has finally decided this was the cen-
ter of the universe for her, and she
Is Just going to be here the rest of
her life. Not long ago she thought

They found out all the trouble, and
after a local doctor has called on
her twice a week for two years the
Dallas doctors think she will be in
all right good shape.
Mrs. G. C. Clark sends The Banner
to her daughter, Mrs. Geo. Sanders,
who is now living at Houston. Mr.
Sanders, who recently opened the
Manhattan Coffee Shop here and later
sold it to Frank Matthews, has gone
back to work for the state highway
department at Houston The Sanders
have bought land there, arid are now
building a home. Mrs. Clark had an
unpleasant experience Sunday night,
when she was shocked by lightning
as she stood in front of a window
at her home. She was knocked out for
a few minutes, and it was several
hours before she completely recov-

800 tons, the largest, which Is located
on the King ranch in South Texas.
County Agent G. T. Hackney will
be glad to figure your problem for a
silo, whether you have one cow or
1,000 cows. You are urged to use
dog sense and bury an extra bone
this year in the form of extra bundle
feed that is now in prospect, in Ihe
form of silage, and it will be good the
next bad winter or the next drouth,
whether it should come next year or
in the next 15 years.
Remember Ihe value of storing feed
In a silo. You have four tons of feed
in a silo for one ton of dry bundles,
and water is mixed in the right pro-
portions in silos. Feed stored in a
silo is iat proof, storms cannot blow
it away, it will not burn up, and if
your neighbor steals it, you can find
the thief by the smell of the stuff,
With the prospects of a surplus of
bundle feed in view, the county agent
urges every farmer to build a silo
at once and store some of their feed
either in the bundle, or, better, chop-
ped if possible.
Movements are under way to get
farmers to fcooperate in the purchase
of a silage cutter and feed mill com-
bination to be used in storing silage
arid grinding their feed on the farm.

chine in your community, contact
