powrrs that would eject Japan
from China; China an important
market.
Difficulty of landing troops

Forage Crops for
Arkansas
Eight Studies In Supplementary
Farm Feeds.
EDITOR'S NOTE.
The Extension Division of the Uni
versity of Arkansas, In co-operation
with the United States Department of
Agriculture, will ofTer this year,
through this paper, a free correspond
ence course in Forage Crops as ap
plied to Arkansas conditions. These
lessons will appear In this paper at in
tervals of six weeks. Preceding les
sons will be sent on request. The
next lesson will be "Curing and Saving
Hay.”
FORAGE CROPS FORARKANSAS
No. 7. Silage.
By R. H. Mason, Dairy Husbandman,
Bureau of Animal Industry.
An acre of corn can be placed in the
silo at a cost not exceeding that of
shocking, husking, grinding and shred
ding. Crops can be put into the silo
during weather that could not be util
ized in making hay or curing fodder.
In some localities this Is an impor
tant consideration. A given amount
of corn in the form of silage wiil pro
duce more milk than the same amount
when shocked and dried. There is
less waste in feeding silage than in
feeding fodder. Good silage, properly
fed, is all consumed. Converting
the corn crop into silage clears the
land and leaves it ready for another
crop sooner than if corn is shocked
and husked.
Almost any green crop car. be suc
cessfully made into silage if sufficient
care is taken to force out the air from
the material. On account of the diffi
culty, however, of expelling air from
plants with a hollow stem, such as
timothy, oats and barley, these cropB
are rarely put into the silo.
In all parts of the United States
where the silo has come into general
use, the principal silage crop is corn.
One reason for this is that ordinarily
corn will produce more food material
to the acre than any other crop, ex
cept sorghum. Corn makes an excel
lent quality of silage. Since some dry
forage should always be fed with the
silage. It is better to use the legumi
nous hay in this way than to convert
the crop into silage.
In some sections it is a common
practice to plant the corn a little
thicker when raised for silage than
for grain. Weeds should be kept out,
or they will be cut with the corn
and may impair the quality of the
silage. The amount of silage that can
be obtained from an acre of corn will
vary from four to twenty tons or
more. A 50-bushel-per-acre crop of
corn will yield about 8 to 12 tons of
silage per acre, depending upon the
smount of foliage and stalk that ac
companies the ear. Southern varie
ties of corn, as a rule, carry a larger
portion of the plant in the form of
stalk and leaves than do the Northern
trown varieties.
Corn should be harvested for the
silo at about the same time that it is
harvested for fodder; that is, when
the grain has become glazed and the
lower leaves of the stalk have turned
brown.
Silage made from immature corn is
not only less nutritious, but also more
icld than that made from more ma
ture corn. The corn should not be al
lowed to become thoroughly ripe and
dry, however, because stalk and foli
age are rendered more difficult to di
gest, and, besides, the corn cannot
be packed Into the silo tightly enough
to prevent “flre-fanging" without using
excessive amounts of water.
Sorghums, both saccharine and non
saccharine, are readily made into si
lage. On account of their superiority
to corn as drought-resisting crops they
are more dependable and yield more
tonnage in some sections. The Kan
sas station reports that if the sor
ghums are harvested at the proper
stage of maturity—that is. when the
seed has become hard—they will
make silage which is less acid and
more palatable than silage made from
Corn. Furthermore, its experiments
indicate that there is little difference
in the feeding vahwts of these silages.
It is important that the sorghums be
harvested at the proper state of ma
turity if the best results are to be
secured. A mixture of corn and sor
ghum has proved satisfactory in some
localities where the rainfull was so
variable as to make the corn crop un
certain.
Silage is the best and cheapest sub
stitute for grass which is the best
known cow feed. A given acreage of
silage crops will produce more feed
than it would if used for pasture, hay
or other roughage. Silage keeps the
digestive organs in good condition,
adds bloom and flinlsh, and increases
the milk flow. The silo can he filled
during rainy weather that would ruin
hay or fodder. The cost of filling the
silo is not greater than that of shock
ing and shredding. Silage is the
cheapest and best supplement for
short pastures in summer. The loss
caused by lack of feed in summer is
as great as that due to improper feed
ing in winter. Silage makes use of
the whole plant, and silage of good
quality is all eaten.
A farmer cannot afford to build a
silo if he has fewer than six or eight
cows and young cattle, and he cannot
afford to be without a silo if he has
ten or more head. It iB not advisable
to feed silage to bog*, and it Bhould
be fed to horses and mules very spar
ingly at first, and maldy silage will
poison these animals.
