De Smet, Brookings December 24. H O Fritzel reports baled straw makes an excellent silo on his farm. The silo is 16 feet in diameter and about 17 feet tall when full, with heavy steel wire drawn tightly around each row of bales. Wires are tightened daily as the silo fills, using sticks as axle and lever. Fritzel feeds silage to about 100 cattle all winter and has built two permanent upright silos. He started with demonstrations by agent Charles Sayre in Kingsbury County and favors baled straw over baled hay for cattle feed.
