I0WLBY QUITS AS
HIGHWAY ENGINEER
SALEM, Ore., April 2. Henry L,
Howlby, who was succeeded today by
K. I. Cnntlne, ad state highway engi
neer, last night formally notified Gov
ernor Wlthycombo that he would not
act as special engineer to completo
unflnlshod highway work in Hood
Itiver county, as tho highway com
mission had proposed. Dowlby told
tho governor that tho attorney gener
al advised Jilni, that legally tho work
could only be dono by the highway
engineer. Tho governor In a state
ment termed Dowlby's chargo that he
had been influenced to chango high
way engineers by contractors as "an
absolute? falsehood." Dowlby left
tho office In chargo of a clerk. Can
tine is expected to receive his com
mission as highway euglnecr tomorrow.
The uro of the silo throughout the
year Is finding favor with many stock
keepers. It is quite difficult to ob
tain a profit on pasture which Is on
land worth $100 or more per acre.
During drouth seasons, the pasture Is
often so poor that it affords little or
no feed, hut the interest on the In
vestment, nnd the taxes must bo
found. There is no question but
what tho use of tho silo for summer
feeding will make rapid gains during
tho next few jears and will soon
come Into common use. The millions
of tons of corn stalks and rough for
age which are now annually going to
waste will find use In the form of
sllngc and will make possible not
only a cheaper production of stock
nnd stock products, hut will also
make It possible to increase tho profit
of stock raising. Farmers who arc
complaining of low profits from cat
tle, should make a study or tho silo,
as they will find a means to increaso
their profits nnd do this with less
labor.
Tho silo Is n forage bank which If
put into goricral use will save a vast
amount of valuable feed and bring a
great wealth to our people.
