History.
Their Use.
At first this canned fodder (called silage) was only fed to milch cows,
but, thanks again to our admirable system of agricultural experimental sta­
tions, it has been found that silage may be economically fed to steers, horses
hogs, sheep, and chickens, as a partial feed. By using a silo, fodder in a
green state can be fed during winter, when there is no natural pasture, and
during the dry summer months, when the pastures have been eaten off. As
our population has increased, the size of the average farm has decreased un­
til it is necessary for the farmer to use all his land to the best advantage.
It is, therefore, not surprising that the progressive American farmer is tak­
ing advantage of the up-to-date methods of silage feeding, as published by
the experimental stations, and is building silos.

The Northwestern Fruit Exchange,
according to Manager Gwin, plana a
national advertising campaign on next
season's crop of Skookum apples, some­
what on the basis of the California
Froit Growers' Exchange though not
eo ex tensive The plan contemplates
the expenditure of about $00,000 which
will be raised by imposing a tax of 10
cents on each boa of Skookom applet.
Three year* ago when the advertia­
ing sc heme wss first tried only $3.800
was raised. The second and third
there wee considerably more.
t ears
Ir Gwin ie of the opinion that every
box of fancy applaa handled by the
Nerthweatern Fruit Eirhange this year
be packed under the Skookum brand.
This would make 1,200 to 2,000 carloads
which would give an ample advertiaing
fund. Mr. Gwin plans to use advertis-
I ing apace in newspapeia and magaaines
\ and
in addition will have 120 salesmen
for the Northwestern Fruit Exchange
| tc educate wholesalers and retailers in
| behalf of northern apples.
The Dri-Freah Co., one of the newest
industries of The Dalles, will figure
prominently in the apple deal this sea­
son. From an initial expenditure of
$10,000 the total investment in machin­
ery and equipment of the concern has
grown to $35,000. It ia planned to han­
dle 5,000 tons of fruits and vegetables
this season.
Mrs. Mary E. Wittenberg, widow of
the late Herman Wittenberg, a prom­
inent Pacific coast banker, and her
sons. Mason and Ralph Wittenberg,
have purchased the business from the
original owners, W. G. McPherson and
sons and R. W. King.
Representatives of the Dri-Freah con­
cern have already got in touch with
the local apple growers, and it is likely
that a large percentage of the cull
product will be handled.
The Office uf Markets and Rural Or­
ganisation has issued a report deted
May 8 of apple holding« on the firet of
this month in 441 storages of the coun­
try. The report is as follows;
“ Inasmuch as a few cold storage
firms have not responded to our month­
ly inquiries this report is not quantita­
tively complete. The information re-
rep-ed indicates that there were 92 per
cent more apples in cnld storage on
May 1 this year than were held on May
1, 1915. The barreled apple holdings
show an excess of 127.7 per cent and
the boxed holdings an excess of 31.1
per cent nv»r those of a year ago.
“ During rtpril 16.7 per cent of tie
December holdings moved from etorage

March, 20.1 per cent during February,

Silos originated in France, but early in the 60's crops were successfully
stored in Germany. During the last twenty years our State Experimental
Stations, founded by the U. S. Agricultural Department, have experimented
with the use of forage stored in this way, and their great success has caused
the building of many thohsand silos in this country.
Farmers hsve introduced this methods of feeding with doubt as to its
economy and success, but unce having installed the silo, are unanimous in
its praise.
