Some of the most expensive work was conducted with the greatest furore and hurry. The scheme where all are working- and no one is hindered by the others, is the most economical. The following table shows the cost of filling 59 concrete silos dur- ing the season of 1910. Although the location of the various silos is not set down in this table, this in- formation may be found by compar- ing the numbers of the silos with those given in the tables on pages 31 and 32. Almost without excep- tion the figures contained in these tables are considerably higher than usual, due to a poor crop of corn in most sections touched by the inves- tigation and also to the peculiar condition of the crop in some sec- tions of Michigan, where it fell down so badly as to make the use of har- vesters impossible. See Table D, Pages 44 and 45. The average cost of filling 16 concrete silos in Illinois was found to be 57? cents per ton; average of 22 silos in Michigan, 64 cents per ton; average of 10 silos in Wis- consin, 57 cents per ton; average of 4 Minnesota silos, 72 cents per ton; of 2 Ohio silos, 89 cents per ton; and of 2 Missouri silos, 50 cents per ton. The average cost of filling silos of 100 tons or less capacity was found to be 70 cents; 100 ton to 200 ton silos 58 cents, and silos over 200 tons 57 cents. The average for all the silos investigated was found to be 62 cents. Recent investigations by the University of Illinois show the aver- age cost of filling silos, including cutting crop in field, to be 58 cents per ton in Illinois, which figure compares favorably with the average of S7J/2 cents obtained in the investigation conducted by this com- pany. Farmers' Bulletin No. 292 on the "Cost of Filling Silos," shows a range of 46 cents to 86 cents per ton on the 31 silos inves- tigated, giving an
