their part. No one can say how thi; vrar will •


develop.' Maybe we shall liave to- use all available shipping, or at . ‘ least ;a much larger tonnage than, at present,, to transport w ir mater­ ials. In that case, dair;r l armers. who have made no attempt to pro­ duce riiore feeding stuffq cf their own would find themselves In an. unhappy position. The only farmer who has nothing to fea;r‘ lih' thl&. respect is the man who-cpuld, a t /a i ' pinch.! make his farm self-sripport- Ing. I t ; is extremely unlikely th a t ; .

Modern methods of-silage making
