"The production of enoueh silaire

Mr. Kine. "The supply of silage is
often exhausted before much eras

have pastures that: will furnish ' suf

be used to good advantage, .to , sup

Mr. Kime states that land which
will produce ten tons of corn silage
will produce 12 to 15 tons of sorghum
silage. Last year, , 1825 , sorghum
produced 19 tons asainst 12 tons for
corn on the Experiment Station farm
