that kresn. immature corn Is not good
material with which to oil a silo. Good
ensilags Il sweet and not sour. and 40
the former can only be produced from

maturity It follows naturally that the
best variety Of corn to plant when It
is the intention to put the crop In the
silo is one that will give 4 large yield
of mature corn. There Il even little II
any advantage in planting the corn
thick.
In those localities where the best
corn is grown by the listing process
the crop intended for ensilage should
be listed, and likewise where the check
ing system gives the best results in
corn yield that plan should be followed
where the crop il intended for the silo.
In some cases the plan Of planting
a few acres Of corn late in the season
for use In filing the silo after 1t has
settled is to be commended. Where
thirty, forty or fifty foot silos are used
the ensilage will settle after filling suf-
ficlently to leave space for twenty or
