urns planted, we ean begin to real-
ize more the importance of and val-
ue of silos.
If all the Crops had been saved
last year in the drouth stricken
territory, by putting them ,up iu
silos, it would have gone a long
ways towards saving live stock,
and increasing the meat supply of
our nation and of our allies.
Silos and their value needs no
argument. They are beyond the
experimental stage.
The underground or pit silo is
especially adapted to our dry and
windy climate. They are meeting
with great favor in the southwest.
Call or write to County Agmit
Griffin for a copy of a bulletin ex-
plaining the'‘underground or pit
silo” mid its construction.

iDon’t for a moment listen to it-that is the talk of
speculators: It is the same talk you heard when leases
, were selling for half whatjhey are now.
We are working to see that the farmers and land
owners in the countyl get the most for the lease on
their land. We have recently sold some leases for dou-
ble what those who owned the land would have ta-
few months ago. It is our desire to help the peo-
