DEMONSTRATED
SILOS TWO DAYS
Monday and Tuesday KHnt tveriug
County by Expert, Farmer
and llunlnrMn Men
That the ranchmen and farmers of
Sox Butt county are deeply inter
ested in the alio proposition was
clearly shown on Monday and Tues
day of this week when the county
was thoroughly covered by the first
lie demonstration trip ever under
taken here, under the auspices of
the Alliance Commercial Club.
Those from out of the county who
participated In the trip were Prof.
W. C. Andreas, of the Nebraska
EUte University, E. Z. Russell, as
sociate editor of the Twentieth Cen
tary Farmer, of Omaha, J. B. Lamp
099 of the Burlington railroad agri
csltural department, C. 8. Hawk, the
arm demonstrator for Dawes coun
ty, and F. W. Crane of Pawnee City.
The program at the different
farms visited was nearly the same,
although all questions asked were
felly answered and a general dls
casslon was Indulged In at each place
for the benefit of those who came in.
Those who furnished cars on the
4rst trip were Messrs. Spencer, Har
ris, Newberry, Schill, Burns, Tash,
Hampton, Norton, Blair, Guthrie,
Caghagan, Panwitz, Gregg, Kibble,
TJaahman, Bauer and Brandt. Nearly
oae hundred people went along on
each' trip.
In his talks Mr. Andreas said,
"The real purpose of this trip Is to
promote Interest in the construction
of more silos. What Box Butte
county needs more than anything
else Is more silos on the farm be
cause we are not assured of a crop
Always on account of lack of mola
tare, so we must conserve what we
raise. The silo Is not an experi
ment." Mr. Chase said in bis talks, "It Is
Itet a Question of whether or not I
can afford to build a silo, but rather
can I afford to be without one. For
talrylng and fattening cattle, horses
er sheep, the farmer cannot afford
so be without a silo. The kind of a
silo is for each farmer to decide for
himself. The pit silo is the cheap
est. In the long run the wood silo
la the most expensive as it Is not so
darable, may blow down, will dry
-at and requires more care. Less
equipment is required for the pit si
lo. The roof for a silo is not neces
sary but always advisable. Silage,
la be the best, must be used off from
each day from one and one-half to
two Inches during the winter, and
three to four Inches during the sum
mer." Conclusions from the trip are that
Holsteln cattle are best adapted for
western Nebraska on account of
tbelr large site and big food capacity.

Evidently there is but one way to
minimize the conveniences and eco
nomic disadvantage- incident to such a
change," and that is to have enough
money to accomplish the change in not
to exceed four or five years. And to
have enough money to make the change
in that time, means a special tax levy
f not less than two or three mills per
year during the transition period.
2 Tha commiaaion urges tha immedi
ate purchase of as much land contiguous
to the preaent farm alto as cart be secured
on reasonable terms.
Evidently recognizing the fact that
there is not room enough on the 320
acres of the state farm for both the uni
versity and the school of agriculture.
Land contiguous to the present farm'
campus" is now covered with dwelling
houses and other buildings, and is not'
to be had on much more "reasonable'
terms" than the six city blocks adjoining
the city campus. Besides this recom
mendation is no part of the issues raised'
by House Roll 345 upon which the ref
erendum will be taken in November.

ihe hrst part ot this recommenda-
ion is worthy of serious consideration
by the next legislature. The state now
rents about 100 acres for carrying on ag
ricultural experiments, and really ought
to own every acre needed to make the,
gricultural school a greater power for
ood. And it 640 acres available for
farm purposes" is the very least we
hould have to attain the best results.
why, in the name of common sense, re
duce the amount available by moving
the university colleges out there?

A WAY TO AVOID LOSS.
"After readlna the resort of commiaaion
of college preeldenta, and noting that the
smallest campus area auoted Is Purdue
with fifty aorea, I am puzzled to know why
you xninn max neorasKa neeaa only mir
ty-nlne. Moat of tho preaent buildings
are badly In need of repairing I under
stand that University Hall haa practical
ly been condemned. Aa tha old brick and
materlala could be uaed In the construct
ing of new buildings on tha new eampua.
It aeema to me that there could not be
great loss there." Miss Elizabeth Bran
zer, umana, Class of 04.
xou ssy that most of the oresent
buildings are in need of repairing.'
That is a condition that often happens
in buildings which are practically new,
and it is not unthinkable that if the uni
versity were located at the state farm
ou might be able to make the same
statement. If the present buildings are
badly in need of repair, then it simplyi
means that either the legislature or the
board of regents have been negli
gent. ...
The facts about University Hall are
substantially as follows: It was built in
1870, and the style of architecture which
was then in vogue is now considered
quite antique. Those who are qualified
to pass upon such matters assure me
that it is a good, substantial building
and would stand for fifty years longer
t its old-fashioned architecture does not
cause it to be torn down and replaced
by a more modern building.
The problem of moving from the
present campus to the farm is not quite
so simple as it would be for the child
with building blocks to tear down the
toy structures in the back yard and place
them upon the front lawn. The old
brick and materials in the buildings on
the present campus would be of little
use in constructing new buildings on the
new campus. The removalists do not
lor a moment contemplate anv such
plan. It would be quite out of harmony
with the plan of building an ideal uni
versity at the state farm. If removal
should carry, it would be necessary to
erect every new buildms there of the
best materials and according to the lat
est ideas of building construction. The
buildings on the present campus would
be of no value whatever in building uo
an ideal university at the state farm.

80ME REMOVAL FIGURES.
The chief architect of the university
says that if we are to replace upon the
farm or elsewhere the same floor space
now in use upon the city campus, it will
cost $1,100,000. These fifteen buildings
on the city campus are now in use, and,
as I have suggested, are serving over
three thousand students.
If we are to remove, it seems to me a
fair estimate of the value to the state
of these fifteen buildings is what it will
cost to replace them elsewhere.
It is estimated by the university archi
tect that it will cost a little over $39,000
to move the fixtures and equipment of
the university to the farm. Ihe value
placed by him upon the conduits, tun
nets, sidewalks, fence, and heating plant.
when measured from the point of cost
of replacing at the farm is $42,000. The
loss in equipment in the different build
ings, which would be ruined by removal
or which could not be removed at all, is
$60,000.
In other words, if removal carries this
fall, the taxpayers of the state will have
to pay out of the three-fourths of a mill
levy, $1,240,000 before they furnish the
students and faculty of the university
the same accompodations that they are
now enjoying upon the city campus.
E. M. Pollard, '93. Nebraska Statt
Journal.
INJURED BY REMOVAL.
I am of the opinion, and I speak as a
farmer who has kept in close touch with
the school of agriculture, that the great
work it has done and is dome in build.
ing up agriculture in Nebraska will be
greatly crippled, if not destroyed, in
case removal carries: and this regard
less of whether one-fourth mill of the
three-fourths mill levy is used for the
erection of buildings for the accommo
dation of the agricultural wing of the
university or not You can not mix
hiKfi school students with college stu
dents any more thap you can mix oil
with water. .
The placing of three thousand colics
students upon the farm campus with five
hundred high school boys can have noth
ing but a disastrous effect. Not only
this, but von virtually destroy the farm
for experimental and farm purposes.

Service Low Cost Service
That characteristic is long continued service, apparently everlasting service and the consistent low
cost ot that service. That's the service from which HUPMOBILK reputation springs; the
service that has made the HUPMOBILK "The Car of the American Family."
That's why HUP owners are our most successful salesmen.
And Isn't that quality what you consider, first and last in any car?
How will a lower price compensate you a year from now, for a worn, shabby down-at-the-heel car
which you are forced to sell for a song 7
How will a natty exterior this Spring compensate you for a broken down exterior next Spring?
Continuous service at a lower cost an da higher price when you want to sell at second hand that's
what makes UUP owners loyal to the car.
Think this over next Spring, think of the one hundred thousandth mile and not of the ten thousandth
and your Investigation will surely bring you to the choice of the UUPMOIilLH.
