"There's no use talking, I can't afford a silo." Would you buy a good farm it the seller agreed to give you back all ing problems. Many crops can be successfully put into the silo.

Mr. Braley ssys: ; . - "I sow six. pounds of yellow dent corn' and two pound, of sunflower seed on an acre. I mbc the seed well and now it in drills 40 laches apart and from two to three Inches deep. The ground Is thoroughly worked and. pulverized before planting. I piant early. The growth of the sun flower shades the ground, ' helping to hold moisture. Repeated culti vating adds much to a fine crop. Neither corn nor sunflowers hin der each other's growth, as they ab sorb different elements In the soiL Ordinary soil should produce 15 tons on an acre.

Bundles can easily be fed through an ordinary silage cutter by feeding the bundles or stalks head first.- Large stalks of sunflowers are easily cut. They closely resemble corn silage when cut. ?.. The sunflower stalk haa no air space at the center as many silage crops have, but instead has a white jith which makes. an airtight, com poslte pack in the silo, . The sunnower stalks, seed and corn, w3ien btended together. make a very palatable feed, consisting of a mixture of protein and. carbohy drates. The cured silage has a sweet odor instead of the sour odor of the pure corn silage.

Grand Ilaml Come1 In ' The plea for a new hospital which Is being made by a number of Sa lem's whole-hearted leople has touched a sympathetic chord amonc the residents on Grand Island. This little Insular tract Is located beyond Wheatland In the Wlliam ette river. At a meeting held Sat urday the island dwellers commis sioned J. A. Mothorn to ask William McGilchrist. Jr.; campaign manager. to send a representative to the Is land to explain the hospital project to the people, as quite a number want to take a hand in completing the enterprise.

But many persons tell ns that The Phez 'Company is more than a private enterprise that it U a project closely linked with the progress and pros perity of the Willamette Valley; that its products, typify Oregon to the nation at large. In view of this, they Kay, the people of the Willamette Valley have a right to know just what too high a price on loganberries will mean to txs, and incidentally the loganhcrry industry as a whole. '. . First, let us state, that to date we have ypent $-"GO,000 in magazines to popularize PIIEZ Loganberry Iroducts, and the amount invested in our bus iness as a whole is greater than the value of all the loganberry acreage in Ore gon, at $.100 an acre. Through advertising and by maintaining these products at highest stan dards of quality and fair prices,we have created a demand for the goods that has enabled us to sell the trade each year. But if prices of these products become too high, the demand will natur ally decrease. General prices are swinging alowly but surely downward the reaction has set in. If we have to msk more for PITEZ Products and we will have to do so at higher fruit prices we believe consumer demand Will be greatly diminished. . ' , : . Everyone connected with Loganberry Products, be he' grower, manufac turer, wholesaler or retailer, must depend on consumer demand for real suc cess in selling, and real success can come to growers to us, to everyone con cerned, only from a continuous demand based on reasonable prices.
