CORN MIXED
WITH SORGHUM
Produces Remarkable Silage Crops,
Thick and Dense From
The Ground Up.
(By J. C. McAmis, Division of Exten.
sion. University OF Tennessee.l

(By j. G. McAmis, Division OF Exten.
sion. University Of Tennessee)
Tennessee farmers who had the op.
portunity last summer of passing along
the farm road at the Experiment Sta
ton, from the dairy barn to the river,
must have been impressed with the
remarkable silage crops on either side
of the road. The chances are that
these were by far the best that they
had ever seen. They were probably
the best that any of us had ever seen.
The crop was thick and dense from
the ground up. Sorghum had been
mixed with the corn In the same row
at the time of planting. The corn
grew tall, with little forage below the
ear, but the sorghum had filled in the
space, making 1t solid to the ground.
When harvest time came 1t was pos
sible to allow the corn to stand and
ripen longer than II 1t had been plant
ed alone. at the same time having 1t
go into the silo in first-class condition,
because the sorghum had remained
fresh and succulent. Even though the
Germ was ripe, 1t packed perfectly in
the silo. Another advantage was that
the corn supported the sorghum and
lessened its tendency to lodge.
Maximum tonnage is the matter Of
first Importance in the silage crop.
The highest yields can not be had by
either OF these crops alone, but by
combination. For this field, the rate
of planting was about eight pounds Of
Albermarles prolific corn, and four
pounds Of sorghum per acre; but, this
land is rich and we'll titled. For poorer
lands the rate Of seeding should be
somewhat thinner.
Perhaps the best way to plant this
mixture is to mix about three pounds
of sorghum to eight pounds Of corn
before putting the seed into the drill
box. In addition the driver should
carry some unmixed sorghum seed and
pour little on top of the corn fire.
Quently as the planting pro-
ceeds. This is the only way to keep the
seed we'll mixed. Another way is to
plant the corn first and then the
sorghum at a subsequent operation.
The only objection to this is the add.
tional expense to double planting
