Absence of sufficient moisture to keep pastures green during the past three years left many farmers no alternative to buying expensive feed in order to carry their herds through the winter months. Coupled with a declining market for beef animals this proved a cost ly undertaking. A number, how ever, sensing the trend planted sorghums or salvaged under-devel oped crops suitable for feed and stored them for silage. Those having this reserve readi ly wintered their stock at nominal cost. Early reports from county agri cultural agents indicate that farm ers from east Texas to the Pan handle already are astir to grapple with the problem of assembling feed against possible recurrence of deficient grazing this fall. The concensus favors the trench type silo as the best method of pre serving feed. Its origin is obscure but it came into wider use in Texas than elsewhere. A decade ago an estimated 40,000 were in service but. with more adequate grazing in succeed ing years many were not used. But rapid revival is suggested in plans of Donley County farmers to fill 150 of these containers this year with mixtures of honey drip cane, Atlas sorgo, hegari and John son grass, and to double the num ber next year. Three of these farmers report carrying their stock on silage last winter for the equivalent of $20 a head. Estimates 200 farmers and ranchmen in Gray and Armstrong counties held a joint meeting recently to promote build ing and filling trench silos this year. A series of six meetings in Ti tus County with total attendance of more than 140 stimulated inter est in production and storage of silage. * With silos built this spring and others in prospect, County Agri cultural Agent W. W. Grisham, Jr. predicts a 50 per cent increase over the number in service in 1952. Meanwhile farmers, especially those having dairy herds, will re fill containers on their places. T. O. Raney had his first experience in feeding silage in the 1952 sea son and, according to the county agent, was so successful he was able to sell most of his hay. Prospective acreage for silage crops in Kaufman County is fore cast as more than three times that of 1952. At a county-wide meeting in Wi chita County to encourage feeding silage a number of dairy farmers indicated intention to build silos this year. Also confirming the trend, sev eral Williamson County dairymen have sought information from County Agricultural Agent Roy L. Huckabee on phases of producing and storing silage. One Sabine County farmer or dered a combination silage harvest er and cutter this spring for home and custom use. A number of self-feeding trench silos will be" built in Harrison County this year, says County Ag- licultural Agent J. C. Frobese, and even cover crops will be used as a silage ingredient. Bryan Blalock plans to stock a silo with oats and vetch. F. R. Jackson who built the largest trench silo in the colnty recently, plans to fill it with crimson clo ver, vetch, oats and any surplus from legume cover crops available. Facing a possible short wheat crop, several Carson County farm ers have ordered seed suitable for growing silage-type crops. At the other side of the state many Morris County farmers have increased acreages for growing com and sorghums to provide re serves of forage. To obtain it, land out of culti vation for several years is being prepared especially for producing sorghums. County Agricultural Agent B. F. Gray estimates that 200 silos, in cluding of the new self-feeding tvpe, will be filled in Nacogdoches County this year. Pointing toward this goal, one dealer sold two carloads of honey drip seed in March. About 200 Chinese Attack (Continued from Page 1) conference to Korean problems alone. He said it was conceivable that the Indo-China Avar might be taken up, and recalled a recent White House statement that a Ko rean peace which released Commu nist forces to fight in Indo-China would be a fraud. South Korea’s defense minister, Shin Tai Yung, added fuel to the fires of his government’s antitruce stand, calling the Red offensive a struggle for positions from which .to launch “another""'invasion ~ of South Korea after the armistice.” LAWN SERVICE Lawn Mowing by College Student Work done on a weekly basis or by day Call Student Labor Office, 4-5014 or after 5 call 6-2188 Ellis-Haupt Rites Is Social Highlight Donald and Mrs. Edward Ellis are on a two weeks’ wedding trip following their marriage Sat- turday night at the First Baptist church of Bryan.
