HOW TO MAKE SILAGE
OUT OF SOFT EAR CORN

There is a lack Of silo room in
many places for the whole corn
crop should it be frosted or i'm
mature. Because the ears are the
most valuable part they should
be saved in any event. It is diff
ficult to save the ears of a soft
corn crop by storage in cribs. In
1917 the Iowa experiment station
demonstrated that soft ears in
the late roasting stage could be
husked, run through a silage cut
ter, and tightly packed into silos
with very good results. The
silage resulting after IL days of
fermentation was of surprisingly

so well that at the end Of two
months il was in excellent feed
ing condition. Silage can be
made in 10 or 12 days and win
probably be ready to feed two
weeks after filling.
1T is not necessary to husk the
corn in order to make soft ear
silage'. says Andrew Boss Of
University Farm. Snapped corn
can be handled just as satisfac-
torily as the husked corn and the
husks give the advantage Of
greater bulk and additional feed.
The Iowa station urges chop

especially near the walls. Silage
made from ears that are partially
matured may require the addi-
tion Of water to insure proper
packing and prevent overheating
and moulding in the silage-mak-
ing process. Silage made from
ear corn should be covered with
a layer Of finely cut corn fodder
or stovcr. II such a cover is not
provided there win be too much
waste Of valuable corn. 1t is not
advisable to make silage Of ma
ture or nearly mature corn. The
cobs prevent packing and they do
not contain sufficient sugar to
permit fermentation which Is
necessary for preservation.
Ear corn silage should be fed
as concentrate. not as a rough
