Smith, assistant agricul turist for the O-W. R. &N.Co., is in today, looking up the farmers who are putting in silos, says the Madras Pioneer. He. in eompany with M. G. Pillette, local manager of the Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co., and a Pioneer representative, went to the Young ranch, north of town, where Mr, Young has built a silo. Mr. Smith is getting data on the number and styles of silos which are being built or contemplated, in this section, in the interest of the rail road company, which is making a strong effort to induce the farmers of Oregon to raise more corn. The raising of corn is a matter which is being considered more and more each year and the O-W. R. & N. Co. holds corn shows every sea son, offering prizes for the largest yields on a given acerage, and for the best, largest and most perfect ears. The trip to Mr. Young's place was profitable and the time well spent. Last year he built a silo 10x24 feet, the pit being about ten feet in the ground, having a capacity of 40 tons. Mr. Young proves his progressiva ..ess by being the first farmer in this section to build a silo, and while it was his first experience with ene, he says it has proven very satisfac tory. He will start filling it with corn next week. C. V. Du'ing has also started buildingasilo on his place near town, and will use it this year for the first time. Mr. Young was much pleased with Mr. Smith's visit, as he received from him information of value in regard to the proper rilling of the silo, and treatment of the ensilage to make the best feed. Pictures of the silo were taken by Mr. Smith, which will later appear in the Pioneer Mr. Smith will leave this afternosn for Hay Cr,eek. where the B. S. & L Co is building two large silos for use on their ranches. A Record Spread In Temperature Prineville has experienced a very wide range of temperature during the past four days.
