Ensilage is largely taking the place of the ordinary field corn; 

 it will l)e noted in substantiation of this fact that the number of 

 bushels of corn raised for corn alone, is less than one-half the 

 quantity shown by the previous census.

But little change is noted in the quantity of hay produced, but 

 alfalfa shows a remarkable increase both in acreage and in 

 quantity produced — an increase in acreage of 104,091 acres, 

 and in quantity of 205,367 tons. This indicates that the farmers 

 of the state are learning to appreciate the great value of alfalfa as 

 a stock food and that the results of the experiments made in pro- 

 ducing this crop are being followed upon a large proportion of 

 the farms of the state. The figures show that more or less alfalfa 

 is being produced in all counties of the state, the leading ones 

 being Onondaga and Madison — the former with 63,564 tons, 

 and the latter, 33,108 tons. A remarkable increase is also shown 

 in the production of red and alsike clover.
