Growinc corn for fodder and silage, I. P. Roberts, M. Agr., 



AND H. H. Wing, B. Agr. 



Test of varieties of silage corn (pp. 3-9). — Forty-one varieties, includ- 

 ing Kaffir corn, were tested in 1889, fifteen on one-tenth-acre iilats to 

 compare yield and composition, and twenty-six in single rows to com- 

 pare composition without regard to yield. Those in the single rows 

 were planted May 8, and those in the plats May 14. Sibley's Pride of 

 the North was planted on duplicate plats, one plat with purchased seed, 

 and one row with seed grown at tbe station for several years and well 

 acclimated. Cutting was delayed as long as possible, but on September 

 18 an average hill of three stalks of each variety was selected, the 

 stalks were dried, and a sample was taken for analysis. At the time of 

 cutting, four varieties, Compton's Early, King Phillip, Self-Husking, and 

 Snffern's Monarch Pop, all planted May 8, had passed the best state 

 for ensiling; twelve were in the best condition for cutting, i. c. well 

 glazed but with stalks still green. These were Chester County Mam- 

 moth, Golden Dewdrop, King of the Earlies, Longfellow, N. B. & G.
