DAY RANCH CO. WILL
ERECT TWELVE SILOS
TO BEGIN AT ONCE
Mr. W. A. Miller of Leaday, resi-
dent agent of the Hay Ranch Co., was
transacting business in Coleman Mon-
day and Tuesday,
Mr, Miller says the Hay Ranch Co.
will begin next Monday the erection
of twelve reinforced concrete silos,
six of them to be placed on Day Ranch
property and six to be built on lands
that were once a part of the Day
property, but now owned by others.
According to present calculations
eleven days will be required in the
erection Of each silo- The first one to
be erected will be in Elm Creok pas-
ture,* work to start next Monday*. The
next, in their turn, will be for A. J.
Williamson, near Gouldbusk, A, , Z.
Fate near Voss,Boog-Scott & Mathews
in the Teal pasture; also Boog-Scott
& Mathews on the Henry Martin
ranch which these gentlemen recently
purchased.
Cement and re-inforcement has
been bought in car lots at wholesale
prices and patent steel forms will be
^used in the construction work, which
’"will be under the supervision of an
expert from the firm of Polk-Genung-
Polk Co. of Fort Branch, Indiana.
The work of cement mixing and lay-
ing will be under the direction of an
expert furnished by the Portland Ce-
ment Co. Mr. Ed. Anderson of Voss
will be labor supervisor.
The Day Ranch Co. is doing things.
They began the silo campaign last
year, when sewn silos were built.
Their plan of co-operative building
and buying of material In wholesale
lots has proven a great saving of ex-
pense to the builders and by buying
cement in large quantities they re-
ceive free of charge the services of a
factory expert in mixing and laying
the concrete.
Industrial advancement is well un-
der way in the Day Ranch country
and The Democrat-Voice takes this
opportunity to congratulate the
Messrs. Miller upon their untiring ef-
forts in promoting the building of
silos.

ANOTHER CAR EGGS
14.440 D02. SHIPPED
OUT ON WEDNESDAY
A minimum-car of eggs is 380 cases.
On Wednesday of this week a Cole-
man produce firm loaded a car with
4^8 cases 14,440 dozen eggs.
The car was made up between Cole
man and Ballinger and was consigned
to cold storage in Dallas. The pres-
ent value of the eggs was above $2,-
000.
The egg market in the East is low
to lower, due probably to the increas-
ed supply of this season of the year
and to the importation of heathen
Chinese eggs.
