acre. 1t would appear that where til
liable dryland is available, corn will
average twice the volume of silage
which could be produced from perennial
grasses. A productive stand of irrigated
alfalfa can produce an average of five
tons of hay per acre or Is tons of high
moisture silage.
The irrigated corn silage yields re-
ported from Eastern to Western Mon
tana compare very favOrably with al
falfa. The average corn yield of the
irrigated tests shown is Is tons per acre.
The comparisons indicate that we can
grow corn successfully for silage al
most anywhere in Montana.
We still have many things to learn
about the growing of this giant grass
plant for silage purposes. In the graph
the grain and silage yields are shown as
average of varieties which will produce
denied corn in the northern corn belt in
8O-85, $500 and 80 or more days after
emergence. At each location the later
varieties produced the larger Silage
yields. This is particularly pronounced
under irrigation but also appears to be
the dryland trend
Maturity Less Important
If corn is to be used as a silage and
not as grain crop, then grain maturity
loses much of its Importance. This will
then allow us to plant later varieties
which continue to grow rapidly through
out the growing season. Silage made
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-05-01

THE VALUE of silage as Succu-
livestock is widely recognized. Corn is
the primary silage plant in the United
States. It holds this position because
it is a giant annual summer grass capa-
BILE of producing large quantities of di-
,gestible nutrients in the short period of
three to five months. Almost any green,
juicy plant can be ensiled, but each is
inferior to corn in one or more respects.
In areas where corn cannot be sue
cessfully grown other plants are used
for silage purposes. In areas of short
and cool growing seasons sunflowers,
perennial grasses, legumes and oats
have been used as substitutes for corn.
In dry, hot areas sorghum and sudan
grass are planted as silage crops.
Can Montana use corn as the pri-
mary silage plant or should substitute
plants be grown? OF the crops presently
being successfully grown the likely sub
stitutes would be alfalfa in the irrigated
areas and perennial grasses in the dry
land regions. Tt is estimated that cor
rectly managed native and seeded dry
land grasses can produce three-quar-
tiers ton of hay per acre which would
be the equivalent of approximately
two tons of silage.
DryIand Production
As shown in the graph on this page,
che average dryland corn silage yield
for three stations was over five tons per

ON Dryland or Under irrigation
Corn Is Top Nutrient Prodmcer

This information is encouraging m
that it will permit termination of large
numbers of weed seeds which can be
destroyed by shallow cultivation prior
to planting. It may be possible in some
parts of the United States to grow both
weeds and corn in the same field, but
in Montana's drylandS there isn't
enough water for both.
Planting Rates
Historically corn is a dryland crop in
Montana. Under these conditions it was
established from farm experience that
the most satisfactory stand for grain
production was somewhere between
1900 to 10000 plants per acre. This
same planting rate was adopted by the
Branch Station, Huntley in 1851, So and
53 resulted in information showing that
under good soil management this num-
Der of plants should be more than dou-
bled Highest total digestible nutrient
yields were obtained with a planting
rate of $4,000 plants per acre. Similar
studies under irrigation at Bozeman il-
dictate that even higher planting rates
can be used to advantage in the west
ern irrigated valleys.
AS additional information on grow
ing of the premier silage plant, corn,
is obtained it is presented in an Annual
Progress Report which can be obtained

from mature corn does contain more di-
made from immature corn but this diff
ference is usually more than c0mpen-
stated for by the increased tonnage.
During the past three years good
quality silage has been made from corn
in the milk stage at the Agriculture Ex-
pertinent Station, Bozeman and the
Northwest Montana Branch Station,
Creston. This silage has been success
fully fed to shep and dairy cows. From
these experiments it can be said that
good silage can be made from corn at
any stage of development.
The quality and feeding value of such
silage can be improved by the addi-
ton of carbohydrate sources such as
oats, barley, molasses and beet pulp.
Investigations are in progress to estab-
lish the effect of the addition of chem
ical preservatives to immature corn
silage.
Planting Dates
Planting date studies conducted with
dryland corn at the North Montana
Branch Station, Havre, revealed that
corn planted in May and early June
produced as many pounds of fodder per
acre as corn planted in early May.
Only slight yield reductions resulting
from late May and early June paintings
as compared to early May paintings
were observed under irrigation on the
Agronomy and Soils farm at Bozenan.

VALEDICTORIAN WINS ELKs ESSAY CONTEST

Miss Nancy Mickelson, valedic- torian of Wrangell High Schools graduating class, has won first prize in the local Elks lodge es- say contest. The prize is $25 de- fense bond. %HBs
 Judges William Eastaugh, L. T. Campbell and L. NJ. Williams, Jr., picked the winners from nine es- says submitted to the lodge with out the authors name. Second place essay was written by Shar- on Olds and third place by Sharon Denney. They will be awarded $1O and $5, respectively.
 ? Subject of the essay contest was Civic Responsibilities of Teen-age Citizens" Miss Nickel sons winning essay follows:
 Although children in the age group from 13 to Is are still un, der their parents guidance, as teen-agers they assume greater civic responsibilities. True, 2 child this age is not held directly responsible for his actions, but this does not mean that he has no duties or goals of his own tc attain. By fulfilling these respon- abilities as teen-ager, the youth will mature into a mucl more worthy citizen.
 'Teen-agers of today must set examples for the younger children as well as prove to the older group that they are capable of assuming more mature role Many projects such as blood do nations, Junior Red Cross drive and various other aids have beer carried on by teen-agers in man! places and it is such acts as thes, that are part of the teenNagt youths responsibility.
 Education is provided free 10 all children today. Certainly then it is a responsibility for the stu dents to take advantage of such an opportunity offered them ant not be a burden to the school.
 The responsibilities of a teen ager do not differ greatly iron those of an adult responsibl, teen-ager not only conforms tC

general rules concerning his well fare, but he should attempt to add to the list, increasing the activ- ities and programs for his group. The act of volunteering to be on various boards and committees is also among the responsibilities of an active teen-ager By carrying out his position, rather than de- clining, or by volunteering, rath- CT than being appointed, he will begin his civic life as an active citizen who will be an asset to his community in future years.
 Any town or city can be thought of as governed by adults and teen-agers both, each in their own standing. The adults have their civic organizations and programs and so it should be with a group of responsible teen-agers. At this age, certainly they are capable of organizing groups and conducting themselves in such a manner that adult supervision is hardly neces- sary. The question which arises however, is: Why don't teent agers take advantage of oppor- tunities offered them, whether under adult supervision or mem bers of their own group?' This is responsibility they should take upon themselves, showing their appreciation of such opportunities by enthusiastically taking part. Such problem is present in most | teen-age groups when activities are planned for them. Perhaps if
 the teen-agers were to plan their own programs they would more fully appreciate the work that went into them, but would they
 have the ambition to undertake any such programs?
 ''Take the local park for in | stance, it was built for the young Ter group as well as the adults, land have they appreciated it? Do lthey show their appreciation in
 the form of carved initials, torn shingles and filtered grounds? {?
 This leads to another question:
 are the teen-agers' responsibilities
 supposed to follow the pattern of
 the adults? Then why don't more
 adults set examples for them to follow?
 Since law enforcement is sc
 lax and yet accepted by the a.
 dults, l think it is the responsi- bility of the teen-agers to stir LII
 some action in this matter. The
 teen-agers of today will be the citizens of tomorrow and it is
 never too early to begin prepar.
 ing for the later positions in life If the teen-agers would take il upon themselves to be responsible
 for law enforcement by obeying 1 the laws set up for them, such as
 curfew and minor-age consump-
 tiOn of alcohol and tobacco, the big step toward civic improve
 ment- would be established Just because liquor and cigarettes can
 be easily obtained teen-ngers
 should be responsible enough to i realize that they are not doing

any better than many of the a. dults who lack civic responsibility along other lines This is only one instance of many in which the teen-agers are the ones who should do the acting by setting up their own standards as examples to the rest of the townspeople that as future citizens they will improve the community
