practical 20 start cutting the corn in

except In periods q rain. Ehen sand

Il Till Be found best % cut the corn

keep the knives sharp. as Otherwise
there will be a Tot o. uncut leaves and
pieces of stalks 10 the siiage. vhich
will prevent thorough packing The
cut corn. kair. or surghEm must be
thoroughly miIsd IN tie silo. Several
of the manufacturers of eusilsge cut.

respect The cut stems. ears. and
