HATCH EXPERIMENT STATION. 



[Jan. 



The silage was largely corn, with a slight admixture of soy 

 beans. The corn and soy beans were grown together, but, 

 OAving to the cool summer of 1903, the beans made a very 

 light growth and produced scarcely any seeds. The corn, 

 likewise, was poorly eared, and the total yield of the mix- 

 ture was only about 8 tons to the acre. The silage was not 

 at all decomposed or unduly acid, and was considered of 

 fair quality. The hay was largely Kentucky blue-grass, of 

 good quality, cut when in full to late blossom.
