Thousand Silos In Arkansas.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 3.—Commis
sioner Page reports that there
are now more than one thousand
silos in Arkansas, there being
over one hundred in Washing
ton and Benton counties. “The
long, continued dry weather has
had a serious effect upon the
corn crop,” declared Mr. Page,
“and many farmers who have
depended upon their corn of ear
ly planting to fill their silos, will
be disappointed. How’ever, corn
planted the first week of July,
if it is of an early maturing va
riety, will make in time to be
used for silage. Immature corn
does not make as good silage as
the mature, yet it will make
good feed. Seed of the 80 or 90
day variety should be planted at
this late day.
“Silos may be filled with cow
peas and soy beans, or clover,
when mixed with pea vines or
soy beans. Alfalfa may also be
used with clover and peas.
There being a short crop in most
sections on account of the
drouth, it is important to get
the silos filled, even though it
be necessary to resort to some
of the other crops in part or in
whole to do it. An empty silo
is a heavy tax on a farmer.”
President Proud Of Delegates.

f Washington, D. C., July 3. —
| The President today told Freder
ick W. Lehman and Justice La
I mar, “I am intensely proud of

The delegates explained that
they expect conferences to be
resumed as soon as the Mexican
elements agree upon a provis
ional government. A conference
of Secretary Bryan, the Consti
tutionalists and Mediator Naon
is planned.
