THURSDAY, JUNE 21, THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER Now Is Time To Make Provision HAYWOOD DAIRY FOLKS For Silage, Avery Silage Is Recognized As One Of Cheapest And Rest Sources Of Roughage For Cows By J. A. Arty. Extension Dairyman State College. (Special for The Mountaineer.) Sili.fc'e has lor.jf been recognized as one of the cheapest and best tourees of home grown roughage for dairy cow-. It is cheap hecau.se a large volume can . grown on a small acreage and only a small loss sus tained during the harvesting and feeding operations. When crops, suitable for silage, are cut, shocked and fed dry the loss due to weather ing and waste at feeding time often runs from 25 to .'ifi per cent of the food value of the crop. It is one of the best home-grown feeds because it provides a palatable succulent, nutri tious feed during a ueriod of the year when grass is not available. Corn is usually considered the .ibe-st crop for silage in this state, J nowever, tnere seems to no a ainer ince of opinio) among North Caro lina dairymen a? to the best variety m.-h as I'amunkey or Eureka and 38 per cent favored one of the grain varieties. The silage varieties pro duce a greater tonage per acre while the grain varieties produce more grain and on account of this olten yield more food nutrients per acre than do the silage varieties. Sorghum is widely used for .silage in .-onv of the southern and western Mates, At the South Carolina Experi ment Station in a two year trial the average yield.- of com silage and sorghum silage per acre were ten tons and IM'5 tons respectively. In a feeding tiial this .station found the sorghum silage to have approxi mately 7 "'' .- of the , milk producing value of tile corn sil.ige.

Til.- value of a good bull based on the increased production of his otf siring is not usually given the con sideration it should receive. In fact, many farmers give thi.s question very little- consideration if -one is to judge from the quality of: -many bulls now in use A proper appraisal of this nutter would soon result in the elim ination'' of all scrub bulls. Th,. term, "good bull." as used here mi. an-, a purebred bull of good type with a continuous production record through his aneo-try. Such a bull can he expected' to transmit both type and production to his oiVspriinr The transmitting s.bility of good dairy bulls was conclusively proven in a breeding experiment: conducted at the Iowa Experiment Station sev eral years ago. In this experiment, which was continued for a number e! years, scrub cows without any known purebred crosses in their an cestry were used. Three of these '.ows were bred to a Holstein. bull, four to a Guernsey bull and three to a .Jersey .bull.- During a total of 23 lacatution periods the original cows pioduccd an -average, of 4000.8. pounds of milk and 187.4 pound of butterfat, Tui of their daughters by the pure bred bull produced- an average . of .r7f'. pounds of milk and 258.8 pounds of fat during a total of 30 lactation pel icds. Sixteen 'of- their grand daughters' carrying 75 per cent of the blood of their purebred dairy si.-es produced an average of 841.3 pounds of milk and ;?7ti,c pounds of f;:t (luring a total of oo lactation periods. ThP first crass resulted in an imrea.se in production over that of the original cows, of 110 per cent in milk and 101 in fat.. Translated into farm practice this means that a farmer can double, the production of a low herd in about ten years by using good sires and prop erly .developing the best heifers.

Financial assistance through Mrs. Thomas O'Berry, State Ueiiet Administrator is expected. Local groups of farmers interested in securing this service should get together and send Mr. Weaver the following information. (1) The number of farmers who who will actually connect to the pro posed line at once. (2) The number of farmers on the proposed line who would proba bly connect later. (3) The number of filling stations, churches, schools, gins, etc., along the proposed line. ' (4) Approximate leng-th in miles the line would have to be to serve above users.
