be harvested ,because of the wet
weather. This represents about
1,000 tons.
Altbopgh tonnage per acre in
this district was up this year, the

brought the sugar yield to about
the same, as last year, Mr. Amos

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.

These figures do not apply
to late maturing or strictly silo
types of corn. They .can only be
applied to .a well-cobbed crop .of
grain type hybrid corn.
A very interesting chart was
included in the .bulletin which
showed the amount of Ear Corn
and Grass Hay equivalent in one
ton of corn silage at various stag-
es of development.

The foregoing shows definite
increases of feed -value of corn
-silage as it nears maturity. 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.

Vaccination
Backsliding.
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

in a township petition for calf -
hood vaccination, the council is
obliged to make vaccination com-
pulsory.

curving back to vertical corner posts —is
easy -to -see evidence that Chevrolet has
cast aside the tradition of the past to start

Yes, Chevrolet brings you a whole
new outlook in low-cost motoring
for 1955 ! It's best symbolized, we
think, by the sweeping expanse of
windshield that widens your view
of the road and lets you "see
through" the corners for greater
safety.
The car with the new idea!
Besides widening your view of the
road, the Motoramic Chevrolet
broadens the whole horizon of the
low-priced car. It was built around
the idea that a car doesn't have to
be high-priced to look, ride and

Trust Chevrolet to have the re-
sources and the skill—yes, and the
courage—to break so completely
with the past.
Everything's new in Chevrolet!
Everything — from its tubeless
tires to its lower top. There's new
beauty with. that long, low "let's
