Hutto farmers Are
Storing Their Feed
The Safe Way '
Another cotton farmer as well
as his neighbors are turning to-
ward feed and beef cattle. R
H. Nelson and his partner 'Em
ery Blackman of Hutto are rap
idly becoming ardent supporters
of the plan of marketing feed
on four feet. Mr. Nelson fed
27 head of mediocre steers last
year. He doubled his money on
eveiy one of them. He fed his
steers cotton seed meal 8 to 1
ration with 110 pound of lime
stone per head per day. He had
la train of 1.0 pounds per day.
Mr. Nelson has just completed a
200 ton silo at very small cost.
Cost of Silo
Four men and two tractors
built the silo in two days. The
silo is 70 feet long 6 12 feet
deep and 712 and 8 j feet wide.
He packed enslage in well us-
ing a tractor and four men. He
built the silo three feet above
the ground covering it with dirt.
(They used two wagons and d
trucks in filling the silo swap-
ping work for extra trucks. The
total outlay paid for digging
haulinir. and filling was $102.00
making the cost of enslage in the
silo approximately o0c per ton.
This silo is feed stored for
future use. as Mr. Nelson and
Mr. Blackman have 100 tons of
dry cane and a large stack of
millet to feed out this winter.
They have -several steers still
running on sudan which they
will place on feed next month.
These partners are ardent be-
lievers in feeding out a common
breed of farm cattle from sur-
rounding farms. Several Hutto
farmers have been building si-
los in the past and several have
added silos to their farm plan.
Among the Hutto farmers with
silos are:
John Juvenal R. H. Nelson
Emery Blackmon Pat Overton
H. E. Gainer Stromberg Bros.
Leslie Blackman Henry Ander-
son Walter Anderson Arthur
Olander Knute Johnson. Aug
