Although no accurate check Is
available, tho amount of fodder
going into tho ground this year is
expected to fat exceed any previous year's total.
Those who havo filled trench
alios in previous years are filling
more this season than ever before,
almost without exception.
. Many who have not tried this
method of storing feed beforo aro
taking It up. Many aro making
inquiries to tho county ogent as
to 'the 'proper means of building
trench silos.
County Agent O. P. Griffin has
listed theso hints for building of
tho trench silo:
1. Be suro tho aide walls slope

2. Tho ends of tho trench should

ily removed. When possible, It Is
preferable io build' tha trench on
tho brow of a slope, so that tho
open and will form a natural
entry,
3. Trenches may bo as small as
two feet by two feet Size should
depend on tho number of animals
to bo fed, slnco an entire laying
of silage across the faco of the
trench must be semoved dally.
Chopped silage weighs about 40
pounds per cublo foot
4. Length may be whatover Is
necessary to store the feed on
hand.
5. If feed Is not cut before being placed in the trench, bundles
should be laid lengthwise of the
trench. Twine holding the bundle
should be cut so that the fodder
will pack well. Uncut silage has
proven very, satisfactory, except
that the labor of removing It from
the trench Is greater.
in pointing out the economies of
trench silo storago of feed, Griffin
estimated the cost of digging the
trench at SO centa per ton of
stlago. Contractors usually will
removo dirt for' IB cents per cublo
yard, and a half ton of silage can
be stored In a cublo yard of space.
Cost of putting the fodder Into
the trench depends upon the methods used, amount of home labor
used, etc Cost of storing ehospsd
up fodder, including cost of mowing, cutting and putting fit tb
trench, is figured to be no great'
er than that of mowing the
