4 THURSDAY, DEC. 15, 1949 THE EAGLE. AROUND THE FARM Harry Jurgens, Rajnier, who operates a small saw mill on the Beaver Springs road is thinking about making some second growth silo stock. His idea is to have on hand all the material farmers would need to make a hom<- made wood stave silo. He VERNONIA, ORE. By W. G. Nibler County Extension Agent would make the staves at his mill and buy the necessary irons and fixtures so farmers could pick up the complete outfit for mak ing their home-made silos. We sometimes get questions as to whether second growth will make a satisfactory silo stock. Considerable second growth has been used in making home-made silos in the Willamette Valley and it has been found very satisfactory. If it is kept painted, properly handled to prevent warping, and kept tight in the silo it serves as well as old growth fir. Jurgens intends to use selected second growth for making this silo stock to keep out cased black knots which will fall out. A certain number of small solid knots are not objectionable. The whole idea is to cut down the cost of silo construction to enable more farmers to get into a grass silage program. Results of last years DHIA program have been summarized. High herd for the year belongs to Vern Kohlstrand, Warren. The 14 cows he tested during the past year averaged 439.2 pounds butterfat per cow. Two very interesting compari sons are made of cows tested in this work. One shows that the ten high cows in the associa tion averaged 537 pounds butter fat while the ten low cows aver aged 177 pounds butterfat or 360 pounds in favor of the ten high cows. In another comparison the two high herds in the association averaged 459 pounds butterfat per cow while the two low herds averaged 279.2 pounds butterfat per cow.
