When to Cut Corn
For Best Silage

Brookings, S. Oak, July 29.-Silage
made from corn when the kernels
were glazed or denied produced the
greatest gains in beef feeding expert
ments conducted by the state expert
mcnt station at Brookings The poor
est gains from silage were made by
steers receiving silage made from
corn when the kernels were in the
blister or milk stages. Silage from
corn in the dough stage produced
nearly as great gains as the maturer
corn. The better the silage. the less
was required for a pound OF gain.
These experiments were conducted by
the animal husbandry department at
State college, and are reported in bull
letin No. 1872, which is distributed free
by J. W. Wilson, director Of the ex-

This association is giving your CON-
munity an interstate highway from
Chicago to Yellowstone Park. In
these days, with the enormous in
