INDIAN CORN AND THE SORGHUMS FOR FORAGE 205 



more silage per acre than did corn. Silage from the sorghums is also 

 an excellent feed for sheep, when made from well-matured plants. (870) 

 McCampbell has found that for carrying beef breeding cows thru the 

 winter, silage made from kafir after the heads had been removed for grain, 

 was a much more economical feed than kafir silage with the heads on, or 

 than either dry kafir fodder or stover. (771) An acre of kafir made into 

 silage after the heads had been removed equalled in feeding value 2.2 

 acres of dry kafir stover. 



The bagasse, or waste, of sorghum syrup factories, should not be wasted, 

 but may be satisfactorily ensiled, as well as the leaves removed before 

 running the stalks thru the mill.
