"I wish I could have grass like that all year 'round." So he begins to think about ways to save it. His past experience with hay very likely leads him smack • up against a stone wall when he starts thinking ,in that direction; then he comes ,around to thoughts of grass silage and he winds up with more questions than he has answers for. Here are some of the answers. The obvious question at the top of the list is how good is grass silage? The answer is that when it is good, it is hard to beat; when it is poor, its value ranges on down the scale to zero. But good grass silage, which us- ually implies a mixture of grass- es and legumes, is a feed so nu- tritious that scores ,of dairymen can cut their protein supplement purchases to zero with .a ration of grass -silage, high quality hay, and home grown grains. Beef feeders and sheepmen, too, who have tried the stuff ,have come to the conclusion there is no sense in letting the lush growth of spring and early summer go to waste when it can be put in a silo and ted out later in the year when pastures are short or bar- ren. • 'While yields of total digestible nutrients per acre are lower witb grass silage than with corn silage, the grass product when well made is two to three times richer in protein. Harold Alley, procure- ment manager of a large dairy at Peoria, I11., took samples of grass silage last fall that had been put by a number of 'the dairy's milk suppliers. Most of these samples showed a protein content of up- wards of 14 per cent on a dry matter basis; one hit 16.3 per cent. To tie this protein production to an acreage basis, the men who operate the calculating -machines at the Illinois experiment station have come up with the following interesting comparison on the production of digestible protein .per acre by various kinds of sil- age: Corn silage, 220 pounds Alfalfa silage, 510 pounds Red clover silage, 2,50 pounds iSweet clover silage, 300 pounds Bach of the legumes beat the corn silage by anywhere from a fair to a whopping margin, ,So. you say, that sounds good, but what aibout that well known proof in the eating. In other words, what about the palatabil- ity of ,grass silage. Will stock eat it? 'Ultimately, that is a ques- tion on which every farmer has to satisfy 'himself. One can always turn up a witness who might tes- tify that he put the most beauti- ful looking silage in the world: before his cows and they walked away from it. But men who are. feeding It tell of the relish with, which their stock Clean it up and the statistics showing almost a ten -fold increase In grass silage production in As many years are a pretty solid argument in sup- port upport of its acceptance by beast as' well as by than. The farmers who pint .up those millions of tons of heavy green grass didn't gb through the motions for the exec else. Then there is that real clinch- er that the grass silage enthus- iast never overlooks, It's a weath- er -beater. Ask any man who is feeding grass silage how he pe - came a convert ,and the answer In probably 00 per cent- of the eases will be Borne variations of the theme, "The -weather drove me to it. My first cutting hay was always a mess so I decided I might as well try silage." This isn't to suggest that good grass silage can be made in a down- pour. Even if the equipment could be moved ,into a field the crop would be much too wet to handle. But as soon as the ground is solid enough to support trac- tors and wagons the crop can be cut and ensiled. This makes a big saving in nutrients — protein, carotene and vitamin A, Grass silage can be made from practically any kind of grasses and legumes as long as they are cut at the right time. Right time, in general, means early. Alfalfa, Ladino, red clover sweet clover, orchard grass, blue grass, brome grass, fescue, all make. good sil- age and about a 50-50 mixture of grasses and legumes is consid- ered the best combination. The legumes furnish the protein and the grasses help provide the su- gar which is important in the ensiling process and in which. the legumes are notoriously weak.
