By D. I. HOOPER
Grass Silage .
When the yields begin to green
up in the Spring, the farmer has
his annual attack of wishing fev-
er. "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.
