The cost of the silo Is the greatest obstacle, but if this stands seriously In the way a pit may be dug and finished at a cost not exceeding fifty to one hundred dollars for material. Pit silos are very satisfactory and are certainly to be desired rather .than to have no silo at all. Twelve good reasons why the farmer should provide himself with a bIIo are given by T. B.

The excessive dry weather continues in Davis county Irrigation water is running Bhort in many parts of the county, but it is hoped that there will be ample supply to make the beet crop, as grain harvest is about over and most of the water in the ditches can be used on meadow lands, beets and tomatoes. The water supply is 4still holding out under the Davis and Weber Counties canal, although the supply has been materially reduced. The wisdom of constructing the big reservoir in East canyon Is now apparent to everyone. In Layton and northeast Xaysville the supply is holding out fine by the reason of the new reservoirs constructed within the past year. The municipal water supply is short in some of the Davis county cities and towns, but the supply in Kaysville City is ample for all purposes and there is every indication that it will be so for the entire season. Kaysville discounted drouth by securing additional water from Holmes creek. Holmes creek is furnishing almost as much water at this time as three weeks ago, the falling off amounting to less than 100 gallons The Kaysville City per minute. springs are also producing a good flow of water. MCDONALD'S ROOF GARDEN McDonald, the man in Salt Lake City, who "Feeds the World Choco- 1 -- I" - . 111 lates, is nothing if not original. This originality, which is another word for enterprise has created a business in Salt Lake City, the ramifications of which reaches the ends of the earth. The latest enterprise of McDonald is a most beautiful roof garden which occupies the entire roof of the McDonald plant in Salt Lake City. This garden is provided with all the comforts and recreation features of a palatial hotel or public resort, but in this case it is for the use of the employees of the McDonald factory, most of whom are girls.

Mr. Courtright contends that electricity at 2.7 cents per kilowatt, the heating rate offered by the Utah Power & Light, company, is cheaper for heating purposes than coal, rquch cleaner, more sanitary and less trouble. He also contends that the cost of installation, including heating plant, would be no more expensive than for a coal A I The Reflex has not investigated the proposition but it certainly would be great to heat the new school buddings of Davis county by electricity. So far as we are advised, there are no school or other public buildings in Utah heated by electricity. Davis county is, indeed, fortunate in being traversed from end to end by the lines of such a company as Utah Power & Light, at all times able to furnish electrical current for any and all purposes. i i i WOODS CROSS on the O.
