A hurried survey throughout the
county last week on the trench silo
situation indicated that about 500
new trenches will soon be available
for the- burned corn crop. In check
ing several sections in the western
part of the county it was found that
every farmer in the section had a
trench dug.
The county commissioners have co
operated to the fullest extent in mak
ing equipment available to farmers
for digging the trenches. The cost
of digging the trenches varies from
about $G.OO for one that will hold
forty tons to about $o5.00 for one
that will hold 200 ton. Many farm
ers have done all . the work them
selves and have, practically no cash
outlavjit all for the excavation.
A" few principles should be consid
ered in making a trench silo. The
location should be as near the feed
ing place as possible, providing the
ground slope is right. By all means
the location should be where flood
water cannot enter and where there!
is no danger from ground water.
Where it is possible the trench silo
should be on a slope steep enough to
let the mouth of the trench drain
out. This will minimize spoilage
when heavy rains and melting snow i
falls. A trench running north and j

Early Prospect of Transatlantic Airplane Service Concentrates
Attention on Progress Made in Past Two Years

Washington Possibility of trans
atlantic seaplane service between
England and the United States be
fore the end of the summer, recalls
the rapid strides made in the field
of passenger transportation recent
ly. According to reports confirmed
here recently, Pan-American Air
ways of the United States and Im
perial Airways of Great Britain plan
to co-operate on the proposed pas
senger line across the Atlantic. The
American concern contemplates using
a fleet similar to the clipper ships
now employed in transpacific service,
while Imperial plans to use several
speedy seaplanes now under con
struction. That announcement, s however,
merely serves to illustrate the pro
gress being made in air transporta
tion, both here and abroad.
Aviation Progressing Eapidly
American airlines have made
greater strides in the past two years
than ifi any similar period in their
hittory. Aod" the amazing part is
tht the increase can be traced to
one of the industry's darkest per
iods, mainly the temporary cancel-
I
south will catch less drifting snow
than one dug east and west. A slope
of about one foot for each four feet
of depth is recommended for the side
waPs. This permits ease of packing
and eliminates danger of air pockets
and prevents caving.
Where only a small number of
livestock are to be fed the trench
should not be too Avide as this ex
poses a large face of silage when it
is opened and it cannot be fed fast
enough to keep it from drying out
and spoiling. Two to four inches per
day should be fed off of the face to
keep it in good shape.
An average field of fodder in Cass
county will weigh out about 40
pounds of ensilage per cubic foot.
In completing the filling of the
silo it should be mounded up well and
covered with four to six inches of
dirt, any substitute coverings nae
been used but dirt seems to give the
minimum amount of spoilage
Hold 4-H Eliminiation Contests.
Friday, August 7th, w as a ' busy
day at the Farm Bureau, as elimin
ation contests for 4-H members try
ing out for the chance to represent
Cass county in judging and health
contests were held.
Eleven girls and two boys were
entered in the county health contest.
Miss Ruth' Ann Sheldon of Nehawka
scored the highest of the girls, while
Ellis Schlichteniier, also of Nehawka,
won in the boys' division. They are
eligible to compete at the state fair.
Food, clothing, girls room and
canning, judging contests were held,
and the high ranking girls in each
division, except girls room, were
chosen to make up the teams to rep
resent Cass county. In the food divi
sion, Edith Senf of Nehawka and Vio
let Robertson of Eagle, won the right
to represent Cass county. In cloth
ing, Betty Preston and Frances
Mitchell will make up a county team.
Bertha Horner and Frances House,
both of Nehawka, were selected to
represent the county in canning judg
ing. Another elimination contest is
being held in girls room work be
cause most of the girls who tried
out last Friday were ineligible to
compete at State Fair.

lation of air mail . contracts two
years ago.
Prior to that period, airline ex
perts considered passenger traffic as
more or les3 of a sideline. The source
of heavy revenue, of course, were
government mail contracts.
With that cut off entirely for a
while, the airlines were forced to
look around for a new way to keep
out of the red. The answer was
mor passenger and express traffic,
arS'the major concerns lost no time
iiy going after it.
In their campaign for more busi
ness, operators stressed speed, safety
and comfort. Instead of curtailing
expenses as a result of the. sudden
decrease in revenue, the major con
cerns spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars on new equipment.
The campaign brought amazing re
sults. Traffic increased at a rate that
surprised even hardened experts, and
this year the major concerns are
chalking up the best business in the
history of aviation.
Speedier Schedules Established
Schedules have been speeded up
to take care of increased business.

flights west daily between Chicago
County Canning Contest.
Saturday, August 22nd, has been
set aside for the judging of exhibits
entered in the Kerr canning contest.
This is a county contest, sponsored by
the Kerr Glass Mfg. Co. for the pur
pose of encouraging and stimulating
better and more home canning.
This contest is open to any coun
ty woman over 21 years of age. The
canned products are to have been
canned sine September 1935. The
collective exhibit must consist of uni
form quart glass jars including 1 jar
of fruit,-1 jar of vegetables (non
acid) and 1 jar of meat.
Exhibits must reach the Farm Bu
reau office by Friday, August 21st.
What Can Be Done
with Old Pastures?
What can be done with our pas
tures that have burned up is the
question of the day. There are many
ways of answering this question but
the easiest and simplest way to get
some feed from such pastures is to
double disc them and seed 3 pecks
of rye and S pounds of sweet clover,
and five pounds of timothy or rye
grass.
Farmers that followed this prac
tice in August and September of
193 4 all reported that they had
abundant feed all fall of that year
and the sweet clover and timothy
lasted throughout the summer of
1935. Of course this is the recom
mendation with the proviso, "If it
Rains."
Many pastures are of such topo
graphy that they could not be plowed
and even though they were it would
take lots of work to work them down
to a good seed bed. There are many
mixtures of pasture grasses that
could be seeded which include the
standard eastern Nebraska pasture
mixture consisting of brome grass, 9
lbs.; timothy, 4 lbs.; sweet clover,
4 lbs.; and alfalfa 3 lbs., or a total of
20 pounds per acre.
Seed being high priced and the
need for an immediate pasture crop
makes the permanent pasture seeding
almost out of the picture this fall.

Rates are higher than rail fares, but
officials contend that the saving in
time more than offsets the monetary
difference.
More changes in schedules and ac
commodations looms in the next few
months as operators battle to main
tain their hold on passenger traffic.
Larger, speedier and more luxurious
planes are replacing older models as
rapidly as they can be built and put
into service.
United Air Lines plans to add 15
new 21-passenger planes to its ser
vices some time this fall. Features
of these new ships will be dining
service with hot meals and revolving
arm chairs. The first of these is ex
pected to be ready early in Septem
ber. American Airlines and T. W. A.
also are planning several innova
tions in the near future.
Experts agree, however, that much
remains to be accomplished before
long voyages through space will be
considered in the light of a "trip,"
rather than an adventure. But the
concensus of opinion is that the in
dustry has passed Bafely through its
darkest and most trying period, and
it is now headed definitely toward a
long era of prosperity.

a silage crop?
A. Any of the canes or sorghums
make just as good silage as corn.
What has been said regarding corn
also applies to these crops. Corn and
cane or sorghum can be mixed as it
goes into the silo if it is felt desirable
to do so.
Q. Will the canes or sorghums be
poisonous?
A. If allowed to cure thoroughly In
the field there will be no danger from
feeding these canes or sorghums as
fodder or hay. If put into the silo
and allowed to cure approximately
two weeks, there is absolutely no
danger from poison.
Q. Can or should straw be added
to green corn as it goes into the silo?
A. The addition of straw to corn
does not increase the feeding value
of the corn whatever. The resultant
feeding value of the silage will be
somewhat lowered by this practice.
The palatability of the straw and
possibly to some extent its feeding
value would be slightly increased by
putting it into the silo. While it
would lower the quality of the silage,
it would make the silage go a bit
farther. If this is done, the silage
should be very well packed and one
should be sure there Is sufficient
moisture to start the fermentation
process and exclude all air. Never
more than one-half straw should be
added to the silage.
Q. Should silage be salted or
limed?
A. There is absolutely no advan
tage in this practice especially when
cost and labor are considered.
Q. Is it necessary to supplement
silage with a dry roughage?
A. The answer to this question is
"No." We have fed cattle for a
period of one year at the college with
an average gain of 2.1 pounds per
day for this period upon silage, corn
and a protein concentrate. Silage
can be made to go a little bit farther,
especially with wintering stock, if
some straw and other feed is added.
It is not necessary, however, to do
this.
Q.Is it necessary to supplement
silage with any other feed?
A. It should be born in mind that
all silage crops are extremely low-
In their protein content. If silage is
fed to wintering stock, either 3 or 4
pounds per head daily of a legume
roughage such as alfalfa or clover
hay should be fed or at least 1 pound
of a protein concentrate such as cot
tonseed oil meal, soybean meal, or
pound tankage.
Q.Will silage make a good horse
feed?
A. Good silago which contains no
nftjld makes a very satisfactory feed
for horses that are not working. Care
should be taken not to feed silage in
too large amounts, especially until
the horse becomes accustomed to it.
Mares heavy in foal or horses doing
heavy work should not'' be given a
heavy feed of silage. No moldy or
spoiled silage should be fed to
horses. This also applies to sheep,
especially those which are carrying
lambs, although silage makes a very
good feed for sheep if it does not con
tain mold.
Q. Will smut or mold in silage be
harmful to livestock?
A. To horses and sheep, "Yes." To
cattle, white mold seems to have lit
tle effect upon them and a small
amount of it will not be harmful.
Smut does no harm in silage where
cattle are concerned.
Q. 13 it necessary to add water to
drouth corn for good silage?
A. Corn put in the silo at this time
of the year ordinarily contains plenty
of moisture to make good silage with
out the additon of water. Where the
stalks and most of the leaves are
green, water will not need to be add
ed. In the event that the corn is so
dry that when cut up the packer does
not get his shoes good and wet, some
water should be added. Ordinarily a
garden horse run into the ensilage
blower will carry enough water to
furnish sufficient moisture to make a
good silage. Where dry fodder is put
into the silo as much water by
weight as fodder is necessary to pre
vent spoilage.
