Silo Filling
Ii APHAZARD methods Of filling silos

II APHAZARD methods Of filling silos
III has spoiled many thousand tons
Of good corn and often given
silage "black eye." Careful tramp
ing and leveling, together with other
essential features in filling the silo are
important.
Corn makes the best silage when the
majority of the ears are dented, or just
beginning to glaze If corn is put into
the silo before this stage of maturity
is reached, the silage becomes very sour
or acid, and is apt to have low feed
ing value.
When corn becomes dry from being
frosted or allowed to get ripe, it will
make good silage if water is added at
filling time. No definite rule can be
given as to the right amount of water
to add but the aim should be to make
the moisture content equal to that of
green corn.
1t is very essential that the cut corn
be thoroughly mixed after it is elevated
or blown into the silo. If this is not
done, the heavier portions will fall in
one place and cause the silage to settle
unevenly, resulting in much loss, due
to spelling.
During the process Of filling, the cut
material should be kept slightly higher
at the edges than in the center, and
well tramped close to the sides where
friction prevents it from settling. 1t
is not necessary to tramp in the center
of the silo, for the weight of the silage
there is sufficient to insure thorough
packing. Silos that are deep and of
largo diameter require less tramping
than those of smaller dimensions.

Hogs in Northwest

n URING recent years the hog IN
~ dustry in the Pacific Northwest
has been inadequate to supply the
local demands for pork and pork pro
ducts. This has caused the average
price of pork to be relatively high and
his made it necessary to ship large
percentage Of the hogs slaughtered and
bacon consumed from east of the
Rocky Mountains.
1t is possible to provide pasture for
hogs in most of this region throughout
much of the year. In most localities
it is also possible to provide crops that
may be hogged off during several
months Of the busy season. The crops
generally used for this purpose are
wheat, field peas, corn and barley. BY
supplementing well-managed pasture
with the proper grain rations and util-
izing the ability Of the hog to harvest
grain crops for himself, the average
cost of producing pork may be ma
terially reduced These conditions offer
an opportunity for profitable pork pro-
duction in the Pacific Northwest on

Turkestan Alfalfa Seed Poor

however, a mistaken belief in its su-
perior qualities has resulted in raising
its retail price to point frequently
above that Of domestic seed. No such
preference is shown in the alfalfa
growing regions Of Europe There
French seed is commonly considered the
best, with Italian ranking next and
Turkestan last. Under these circum-
stance, very little French and italian
seed finds its way to the United
States, the bulk of the importations
being, as already stated, the cheap
commercial Turkestan.
Easily Identified.
Fortunately, growers who wish to
avoid this variety can readily identify
it by the presence of Russian KNAPP
weed seeds. These seeds have not been
found anywhere except in commercial
Turkestan seed, and here they are prac-
tically always present. Russian KNAPP
weed is in some ways similar to quack
grass, johnson grass and Canada
thistle, spreading both by seeds and
underground rootstocks. The seeds are
slightly larger than those of alfalfa and
cannot all be removed by any prac-
ticable method of machine cleaning.
Their chalky white color makes them
especially conspicuous, and their sym
metrical form-slightly wedge shaped
distinguishes them from the notched
seed of other species often found in
varieties of alfalfa from other sections.
The knapweed seeds, however, are not
usually found in large quantities and
any lot of alfalfa should, therefore, be
examined in bulk. The examination OF
small samples is not sufficient to show
whether the alfalfa comes from Turke-
stan or not.

A WARNING to alfalfa growers to

"A WARNING to alfalfa growers to
"a avoid the use Of commercial
Turkestan seed is contained in De-
partment Bulletin No. 1873, Of the o.
8. Department of Agriculture, which is
shortly to be issued under the title
Commercial Turkestan Alfalfa Seed."
Specialists of the department have
been investigating the comparative
merits of different kinds of alfalfa
seeds and have reached the conclusion
that there is nothing to recommend
the Turkestan variety for general use
in this country. 1t is, they say, par
ticularly unsuited to the humid climate
Of the East which, as matter Of fact,
nses most Of the Turkestan seed i'm
ported into this country. This seed is
also not sufficiently hardy to warrant
its general use in the upper Mississippi
Valley, where hardness is an impor-
tant factor. Investigators, however,
are careful to distinguish between com
mercial Turkestan alfalfa and special
strains Of hardy alfalfas that have
been developed from certain introduc-
tions Of seed from Turkestan. Valuable
varieties of alfalfas unquestionably ex-
ist in Central Asia, but these are at
present only fitted for use in expert
mental work in breeding.
Imported Seed Inferior.
At the present time, approximately
one-fifth of the alfalfa seed used in the
United States is imported. Of this
Quantity, practically all-95 per cent in
the last twelve months-comes from
Russian Turkestan. In the European
market, commercial Turkestan is the
cheapest seed available, in this country
its wholesale price is less than that Of
domestic seed. In spite Of this fact,
