Silo adoption urged to cut dairy feed costs
Mr. O D Hown of Monroe Creamery urges farmers with six or more cows to build silos this summer to cut feed costs by about seventy five percent. Silage can replace grain and roughage, preserving corn stalks and leaves. A hundred ton silo costs 150 to 4200 dollars depending on type, with round air tight silos preferred for efficiency. A suitable silo size depends on herd needs, and wartime draft considerations may delay harvest. Real estate transfers include a Marshville house and lot sale for 4000 dollars to C M Griffin from Minnie Bivens.
