Smith, Purdue a agronmists. Two years’ results on experimental plots at Purdue indicate that forage per acre may be produced

» yields as high as 18 tons of green somewhat, better grain producers, with the Bentland variety oats. Clin band and Newton, although do not yield as much forage as the Bentland variety. As a pasture crop, oats should be grazed when the heads are just emerging from the boot. With this plan 50 acres can give 50 cows a grazing season for 50 days. When heavy grain crops are produced, legume stands may be serr iously delayed, or even smothered out. The removal of the grain crops as silage, or pasture, will improve conditions for the development of the legume stand. In the use of coat silage, some farmers have not secured satis- : i factory results. They have found I j it less palatable for dairy cattle

i than either com or graes silage. , Timing is important. For the beet results, the oats should be cut i & the early heading stage, ali though they can be harvested a» late as the early dough stage. The specialists point out that ; the older the oats, the finer oats should be chopped and the more oats should be packed in order to exclude the air. It is generally advisable to use an additive or con* ditionef at silo filling time. i of a green forage crop, or pasture, in late spring or early summer months will find oats a palatable and productive source of feed for i the dairy herd, whether it is used ■ as a silage or as pasture. — Trade in a good town — Decatur
