man's lot have been the agricultural
milk marketing cooperatives. Strong-
ly intrenched and loyally supported,
they have met middlemen and deal-
ers on equitable terms. And they
have assured the ultimate consumer
of a constant supply of sanitary milk
products at all timei.
This, as Dr. Ladd observed, is of
the utmost importance to all farmers
—and to urban America as well,
which depends largely on farm pur-
chasing power for the orders which
keep our factories going and our mil-
lions of industrial workers employed.

TRENCH
SILOS
One of the practices that will help

hy in storage more feed during good]
This can be done effectively and
inexpensively in trench silos. It has
heen proven conclusively by a num-
ber of farmers in this area and the
practice is growing each year.
And the record or growth in use of
branch silo in Texas shows it is a
sseecssful way of preserving and
jdoring feed.
As shown in an article on- trench
dos, elsewhere in this issue, the
—mher of tons of silage stored in
Texas in 19,19 was almost double that
gf J938—3.446,951 tons compared
with 1.814,628 in 1938.
And feed put in trench silos has
been known to keep 16 years and be
as good feed as when it was stored
ferre
If a farm will put his surplus of
fedder or sorghums or grain sor-
ghums in trench silos he can rest
amrored there'll be feed when drouth
eliminates a crop or two or when
prices grow too high to buy feed
when a little extra is needed to do
m specific livestock feeding job.
It is an economical way to put
•way feed—economical from cost of
•Inring and economical in that the
rattle get a bigger percentage of
fend value front the crop thus stored.
It is valuable for the man with
wily a few cows, dairy or beef stock
and also valuable for the rancher
with many to feed. All kindn of live-
stock like silage thus stored and
ferive upon it. Let's have more
•ranch silos this year.
FARMERS
AND OIL
It may not occur to very many
people that farmer* of Texas owe a
big debt to the oil industry.
In fact Texas farmers and the otl
Industry are financial partners, to a
wry marked degree at that.
Eapecialiy is that true in this
area, and in nearly every Texaa eoun-

that may mean the death of oil de-
velopment in Texas. Watch care-
fully, therefore, and let us do nothing
unfair to the oil industry which has
meant so much to this country. Let
us not kill the goose that lays the
golden egg*.
A FAIR PRICE
FOR MILK
According to Dr. Carel E. Ladd,,
Dean of the New York State College
of Agriculture, a fair price for milk
Is more effective than any other one
factor in keeping people on the land
maintaining the fertility of the soil,
allowing rural children to attend high
school and college, and in maintain-
ing the general welfare and happi-
ness of the rural village and farm
by jittery patriots who fear that our
own defense needs will suffer by this
arrangement.
By turning our factories loose on
orders from the allies, we achieve a
couple of very worthy objectives: to
expand and perfect our production
capacity, and to develop more and
better airplane designs without
squandering our own money for ex-
periments.
But the angle to keep in mind is
this: airplane designs, especially war-
planes, change almost overnight. To-
day’s hot-shot fighter may not be
worth shucks tomorrow. Improve-
ments are constantly being added,
greater speed and maneuverability
Now, suppose Uncle Sam cracked
down and bought 10,000 planes of the
i newest types. He would have to go

would be wasted. We’d have a tre-
mendous air fleet on our hands, and
that fleet would be worthleis in case
of war.
Uncle Sam is wise to build up I__
personnel, and to let the allies share
the cdst of producing and developing
the newest types of planes. In hn
emergency we can cancel all orders
and turn our factories loose on our
own needs. >
In tnis way the aerial fleet we
eventually get will be the latest whis

laboratory of actual war—which,
