Immature Corn

Immature corn has good feeding value and should by all means be saved. Immature corn may be nearly as high in energy value, pound for pound, as normal stalks without ears. Immature corn and sorgo placed in silos at the University of Nebraska experiment stations in Lincoln and at Valentine made a very good quality silage. Immature corn may be somewhat more laxative them ordinary silage, and in such cases should be fed with prairie hay. rather than alfalfa. Cottonseed meal sprinkled over the silage at'feeding time will tend to reduce laxative effect
