FARM Commencing t his
MACHINERY week a series of
SIELD DAYS Farm Machinery

Field Days will be

held in the district under the direc-
on of the Provincial Dept, of Agri-
culture and the University of B.C.
Agricultural Engineering Department.
-n each area a local farm organiza-
zion is sponsoring the event. This year
’rofessor Ran Young will again be
vack to handle our field days, and Mr.
Wilf Cleave, Farm Mechanics Tech-
rician from U.B.C. will have charge
of two field days.

‘The primary purpose of these ticld
Jays is to promote the proper use of
farm machines brought to the field
day by farmers. If a farm implement
is causing you trouble, bring it along
and the demonstrator will eliminate
the bugs.

Following ig the schedule for this
district:

July 13, Williams Lake district,

Springfield Ranch.

PEED Here are timely re

ENSILAGE marks on_ ensilage
feeds from J. F. Cap-

.ette, District Agriculturist, Vernon.

For the past 50 years or more a
large proportion of the successful:
dairy farmers have relied on ensilage
.o maintain production during the
winter months. The only crop thought
usable for the purpose were corn and
sunflower and these crops are still
used extensively
Use of ensilage for beef herds has
also increased, both for feeder and
‘or breeding stock.

Why. Grass Silage?

Grass silage appears to more and
more farmers because; it favors soil
conservation in that it tends to
1engthen crop rotations, keepmg more
cropland in grasses ard legumes more
of the time; it saves the hay crop dur-
ing an all-too-common wet haying
season; it converts coarse hay crops

Since most ensilage is-made from
a legume grass mix, an average can
be drawn between the timothy and
wilted alfalfa mixtures. The impor-
tant fact of this table is that the
legume ensilage is high in protein
which is always the high cost portion
of the feed. The next two articles will
include making of ensilage and types
of silos.

CONSIDER Farmers will do well to

TRENCH consider _ constructing
SILO Besides

efficient
and cheap storage,

other advantages are evident as out-
lined in the previous paragraphs on
ensilage. A paramount feature of the
trench silo is the fact that crops or-
dinarily lost throught weathering can
be saved. Farmers who watched the
summer rains of 1948 ruin their hay
erobs can readily realize the value of
a unit that would preserve valuable
feedstuffs.

Readers interested in obtaining
plans and specifications for trench
silos can procure same from the Dis-
trict _Agriculturist, Williams Lake.

and weeds into more palatable and
more nutritious forage than is done
by drying them into hay; and it saves
more of the overall feed value, the
protein, corotene, and minerals that
are badly needed for winter use. -It
makes for more nutritious milk and
other animal products. In the above
respects, therefore grass silage is
good for the land, good for the live-
consumer or
the farmer himself. =
Corn Still Holds Sway

At a field day held in’ Woodstock,
Ontario, attended by Ontario’s fore-
most grass and corn experts, it was
shown that cost of producing grass
ensilage was 20-25% cheaper per ton
than corn ensilage, but almost every-
one agreed that there was still ample
room for using both on a livestock
farm. The reason was that in a year
of a short hay erop, a good tonnage
of corn would go a long way to olfset
it. Corn also worked into rotations on
farms where no grain is grown and
hay fields must be turned over every
six or seven years,

Cost of production is, however, one
of the most important features of
grass ensilage. While corn requires
spring tillage, seeding and cultivating,
a hay field can produce a crop of
ensilage in the normal crop year very
cheaply. Where irrigation is used this
is very important, particularly with
the advent of sprinkler irrigated pas-

pastures advance too quickly a clip
can be taken any time to use ensil-
age, This flexibility of grass ensilage
males it a very important crop on all
livestock farms.

The following is a comparison of
the food values of both types of en-
silage.
