PLAN NOW TO PLANT !.
CROPS FOR SIAGE
(By G. A. Hutton, Division of Bxten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By C. A. Hutton, Division of Bxten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
At this season of the year farmers
generally are busy with field work
and are apt to neglect planning for
crops for filling the silo. The best
yield of silage is made by planting the
crop on well-prepared ground at the
usual complaining time. Good yields
are secured, however, Explaining ON
stubble land after crop of wheat,
oats, rye, or barley has been harvest
ed. A good seed bed should be pre-
pared by use of subsoil pillow and
disc harrow. This should be done as
soon as possible after the winter crop
is harvested, while the land is still
moist and mellow.
Corn is the best crop to plant for
silage. Any variety which makes a
good yield of grain in the locality will
make good variety for silage. i is
usually best to plant one Of the large
gSowing, prolific, varieties. however;
owing to the large tonnage secured.
Sorghum or cane makes large yield,
but the silage is hardly as nutritious
as corn alone. A mixture of about 6
to 8 pounds corn and to 6 pounds
sorghum per acre gives excellent re-
suits. The corn and sorghum may be
mixed and planted with an ordinary
corn drill, and cultivated as newould
cultivate corn. The sorghum adds sue
culence to the silage and gives a
larger yield than corn alone.
Cow peas and soy beans may be mix
ed with corn or sorghum for silage,
and they add palatability and protein
to the silage, but do not preserve in
the silo quite as well as corn or cane.
1t is usually best to plant these crops
for hay to be fed dry with silage.

TWO TYPES OF sILo

(By C. A. Hutton, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)
The two types Of silos best adapted
for use in Tennessee are the cheap,
temporary silo built Of wood, and the
permanent type, or solid wall, concrete
silo. For farmer who wishes cheap
silo, there Is nothing better than the
Tennessee wood-hoop type. This Is
built of 1"x4" fine flooring, which
should be of good quality heart
pine, free from knots and sap, match
ed, planned, and tongued and grooved
The hoops are made Of 1k~x4~ green
white oak, or green elm boards. They
should be bent around a form and
made four-ply thick. The 1"x4" slaves
are set upright inside Of these hoops.
This makes the cheapest and best
type of wood silo, and one Of the
easiest to build. The average cost OF
such a silo is S1.OO per ton capacity,
where all the material IL purchased
and all the labor hired.
For a permanent silo there Is moth.
ing better nor cheaper for Tennessee
farmers than concrete. They can be
built for an average cost of $3.50 to
$500 per ton capacity, and II properly.
constructed will last indefinitely. They
should be built of good material, with
a solid wall, six inches thick. properly
reinforced, and made smooth and slick
on the inside.
If properly constructed, a concrete
silo will preserve silage absolutely,
as well as any other kind Of silo, and
should not cost any more than the
patented wood type. There is posi-.
lively no excuse for Tennessee farm
er paying out his hard-earned money
for patented stave silo when he can
build one of concrete for positively the
same cost, and which will last at least
life time.
