BOWER Dollar Value ComSilage Q f� sae How many bushels of . grain are there in a ton of corn silage made from well -cabbed corn? How many pounds of leaves and stalk? What is the dollar value of corn silage? Many of us want to know the number of, bushels of grain in the silage. This will help us to figure out the returns per bush- el for all the grain fed to cattle. Dairy and 'beef feeders may ad- just the rate of grain feeding or of silage feeding to take into ac- count the knowledge that their silage contains little or plenty of grain. Recent research at the Illinois Agricultural ResearchStation has revealed some surprising facts. In three out of four years there wasn't much difference in total tonnage of forage harvested from very early to late. In one year the total fresh forage declined as corn matured. • Research showed that corn keeps best le the silo when it has from 25 to 30% dry matter. At this stage the crop contains 500-600 lbs. dry matter to the ton. What about the total grain•in the silage? That builds up rapid- ly as the corn matures. In one test, in the early stages the corn silage contained only 7 bushels to the acre. Three ..weeks later the yield had risen to 49 bushels. In another test the corn had 25 bushels to the acre in early silage. 22 days later It had 100 bushels. That meant that in the first samples the silage contained 0.5-1.6 bushels 'corn per ton of silage. Three or four weeks later it contained 3.7-6.6 bushels to the ton. According to the bulletin most of 'the increase in dry matter is caused by the increased growth of the •co'b. After the cob is form- ed there is only a .small increase in the amount of leaf stalk por- tion of the silage. The feeding value of corn leaves and stalks is estimated to 'be 10 % less than that of good grass hay. The Illinois •scientists found that a determination of the dry matter of the forage as it goes into the silo is a good index to the feeding value and the ear corn content of the silage. You can make an estimate if you know the state of the corn at the time it was ensiled.

From there on it is up to the individ- ual farmer's circumstances. To obtain the maximum feed value In this area involves considerable weather risk. Wind and frost damage can prove very expensive. Perhaps these alone can more than off set any feed values that will be gained by a later corn silage harvest. It takes good man- agement and a certain amount of luck to hit it even 7'5% of the time.

Alarm that the calfhood vac- cination prograut in this area is suffering a slump in interest on the part of cattle owngrs has been voiced by district veterinarians, They warn farmers that .can., tined disregard for control of contagious abortion could result in cattle losses much more costly than a tuberculosis outbreak. Backsliding of the program has also been noted in the province, Ontario's Livestock Commissioner; W. P. Watson, said recently the total number of calves vaccinated has dropped to .one-quarter of those raised. Commenting on Mr. Watson's figures, Dr. William. Moynihan, of Toronto, reminded farmers that they had once experienced much trouble with contagious abortion. Cattle owners, he said, should not wait until they had a flare-up in their herds before they initiated a consistent program of vaccination. Emphasizing that vaccination was the greatest factor in control- ling Bang's, Dr. G. H, Collacutt, Health of Animals Division, To- ronto, declared that if cattle own- ers did not keep working at it, they were just looking for trouble, "If we do not control Brucello- sis, and possibly eradicate it, our cattle may be shut out of an in- creasing number of states," warn- ed Dr. Lloyd Jones, Principal, Ontario Veterinary College. The United States Government had voted $15,000,000 for Brucellosis control, and so authorities, as well as cattle owners, across the line, would not look kindly on the im- portation of cattle from areas where Brucellosis had not been eradicated. In 19.53, a Brucellosis Control Act had been placed on the stat- utes in Ontario. As a result, when two-thirds of the cattle owners in a township petition for calf - hood vaccination, the council is obliged to make vaccination com- pulsory. equipment needed to produce a pig.
