Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 219, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 September 1914 — The Silo. [ARTICLE]

The Silo.

Besides corn, excellent silage may be made from alfalfa, clover, oats and peas, rye, sorghum, kafir corn, millet and milo for silage;, it ie often made from other plants, especially during drought seasons, when excellent sorghum and kafir corn can be grown as a catch crop. The first cutting of alfalfa hay during a wet season is often lost. This could be put in the silo and saved, and by feeding out during the .summer months, the silo can be refilled in the fall with corn and kafir corn.
