Russian SunfOwer
Us. Corn AS SiL0ge

Whether or not the Russian Sun
flower would fill the long felt need
of silage crop for higher altitude
has been question foremost In the
minds of aspiring dairymen in such
sections. Though this has been a pro-
liability for the past few years 1t Is
now fast taking on the aspect OF a
demonstrated fact. The three import
ant phases to demonstrate were: first
would the corp Withstand the climate
of the higher altitude; second, would
the yield per acre be sufficiently
large to Justify planting it: and third
would it's feeding value as ensilage
justify production. The first two pro-
positions we're demonstrated in this
and neighboring valleys during the
past summer. That the crop can be
grown, and grown abundantly was
clearly proved by a number OF. men
who grew experimental plots. AS
much as thirty-four tons per acre
was produced locally,
AS to the feeding value OF sunflow-
er ensilage one may draw his own
conclusion from the following taken
from an article on sunflowers as
silage crop which appeared Hoards
Dairyman of Januarya7, 1921 %%"*
Three years trial at the Saskatche-
wan University farm has shown that
sunflower ensilage compares favor
ably with corn silage, having at
least an equal feeding value. At the
Manitoba Agricultural College ex-
tensive feeding tests were made last
winter by feeding dairy cows with
sunflowers, corn, and other ensilage
1t was found that the milk flow Of
these cows was slightly heavier after
being fed on sunfloser ensilage than
any other ensilage. The increase did
not amount to much. but it was there
just the same Moreover, during the
sunflower feeding period the cowes
gained more weight than they did at
any other period. Professor G.. H
Hutton, on the Canadian Pacific
Farm at Strathmore. says that he
had similar experience with the
cows of the purebred Holstein herd
maintained there. Their milk flow
slightly increased and the cows gain
ed slightly more weight than when
fed on ensilage made from corn, or
peas and OATS,
According to an experiment car
ried on by the Canadian government
at the government farm at scoot,
Saskatchewan, sunflower ensilage
when fed to beef steers had q value
Of 1892 per ton.
Are there not some enterprising
farmers in Bear Lake county who
will be ready to plant sunflowers in
The spring and build a silo in order
that they might take advantage OF
his discovery which means SO much
