SILO AND ALFALFA CAMPAIGN

The Executive Committee of the New
Castle County Farm Bureau has set
aside the week of July to IL, inclusive
for the New Castle County SiIo and
Alfalfa Campaign. The slogan during
this campaign will be 100 more silos for
New Castle County. Due to the in
creasing cost Of producing milk, the
Executive Committee has devised this
campaign with the intention of induc-
lug the farmers of the county to pro-
duce more dairy feed on the farm and
thus cut in half the feed bill at the mill.
WheL commercial feeds are costing
from $55 to $40 per ton and steadily
increasing in cost. it would seem highly
practical to substitute these so far as
possible with home grown feeds.
Scientists and practical farmers tell
US that one-third of the feeding value
of the corn crop is in the stock. As
the fodder is generally handled in the
pound. only small portion of the stock
is consumed. Furthermore. one of the
great advantages of silage is as sue
culence and q conditioner. When fed
as dry fodder this value is lost entirely.
The growing of alfalfa is no longer
an experiment. When given attention,
alfalfa Is highly profitable crop for
New Castle County. There is no hay
crop that will yield the tonnage and the
nutrients as will alfalfa. Silage and
alfalfa is combination that gees long
way in feeding the dairy herd.
During tina week of July 8 to IL,
meetings will be held in all parts of the
county. The dairy and the soils and
crops community committeeman of the
Farm Bureau have sche luled meetings
st Townsend. Middetown, t. Pleasant.
Kirkwood, Newark, Newport, Hocses-
sin and TaiIeyvile. The meetings will
be held at milk stations and on farms
having silos. A special speaker from
Washington will address all of these
meetings. Several members of the
County Farm Bureau will be present,
as we'll as County Agent Leader NJ. O.
Pence and County Agent R. O Kaus-
nan. These meetings will last one
hour. Attend the meeting that you
are closest to.
