Quot Purdue in Ali Zed the Coin crop was too valuable to let of to 40 per cent go to waste and she decided on the building of silos some years ago. To can convince any Farmer that he cannot afford to keep livestock without a silo. Quot America has got to feed the world. If the would is to have food to have meat we must produce it As we have never done before. The silo turns the Green feeds into meat for human consumption and thus the silo really is a human institution. Quot farms having livestock Ai the most profitable and Aid the most in building up Fertility of the soil. If Germany had the wastage of the Middle West today she could stay in this War indefinitely. The silo is a Means of eliminating waste. And then the silo is a Good investment.
