MAKE SILAGE
A MUST IN ’53
College’ Station.—No less
than three tons of silage
should be put up for each cow
in the dairy herd. That word
comes from R. E. Burleson,
dairy husbandman for the Tex-
as Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice. And he adds, it’s a good
idea to double this amount to
take care of the leas and un-
productive years.
Yields from the 'best silage
crops, when properly fertiliz-
ed, are usually heavy and
large acreages of cropeland
are not required for silage pro-
duction, points out Burleson.
Bat he explains, the crop must
be planted, harvested and’stor-
ed before it can be used and it
is now time to perform that|
first job—planting. Last week’s
showers materially improved;
the chances for a stand and
good early season growth, says
Burleson.
The specialist likes atlas
sorghum for silage but he
adds,, there are other crops
which also produce good yields
and excellent silage. Atlas
sorghums is adapted in most
sections of the state ’ and will
produce from 10 to 18 tons of
silage per acre depending of
course upon available moisture
and soil fertility. He says sil-
age can be produced and stor-
ed for about 88 per ton and
that means 3,400 pounds of
TDN an acre. In terms of milk
production, Burleson says that
after a cow maintains her own
body, she can produce 139
pounds of 4 percent milk from
10ft pounds of TDN. He.figures
from the 3,490 pounds of TDN
a cow should produce about 4,.
Grasslands Best Source
of Increased Food Supply

Improved grasslands produce more feed per acre at less cost

ter pasture gained 2.3 pounds per
day arid 326 pounds per acre,
Today, lor the first time in
history, we should toe concerned
about food, W. M. Myers of the
University of Minnesota, has an-
nounced. We are not producing
enough, especially of livestock
products. »
If we are tc remain a meat-eat-
ing and milk drinking people, we
must have greatly increased
quantities of meat and milk. If
the 200 million people we expect
tc have in another quarter cen-
tury 3 re to be led well, we must
have 25 per cent more food,
We must seek increased food
and feed supplies through greater
yields per acre. Grasslands pro-
vide the largest undeveloped po-
tential for increased production
They provide pasture, hay, and
silage, the best raw materials
for the production of beef, dairy
products, mutton and wooL
Pasture and hay now furnish
over half the feed consumed
by all livestock in the United
States. And some classes get
much more than half their feed
from forage: Dairy cows 67%,
beef cattle 75%, and sheep 90%.
These percentages can be in-
creased profitably. Dairy cows
have been carried through suc-
cessive * lactations on forage
alone, and have produced 8,COO
to 9,000 pounds of milk annually,
which is iwo-ihirds more than
the United States average.
In the South, beef steers are
being fattened to, "good” and
"choice" grades on grass alone.
Steers fattened on ryegrass win
with a net profit of 384 each-
Beef from permanent pasture
was increased from 183 pounds
to 540 pounds per acre at an an-
nual cost of $4.18 per acre for
fertilizer and lime.
The cost of 190 pounds of total
digestible nutrients from im-
proved pasture was 58 cents;
from alfalfa hay $1.35; from com
$1.77; and from oats $2.07. The
return per man-hour of labor was
$25.09 for pasture, $5.81 fox
wheat, $3.69 for com, and $2.79
for oats.
In the North, renovation with
tillage, liming and fertilization,
plus reseeding to productive
grasses and legumes, increased
forage yields over 6.000 pounds
per acre, which was three to five
times the yield of the unimproved
pasture. Orchardgrass - Ladino
pasture produced 7,600 pounds of
dry matter, equal to 110 bushels
of corn. Renovated biuegrass pas-
tures yielded 2bi to 3 times that
of the untreated. Beef yields
were increased from 87 to 213
pounds per acre at an annual cost
of $5 per acre for renovation.
So ft should be emphasized
again, that even on productive
cropland, improved grasslands
will produce more total digestible
nutrients at less cost, and with
greater return per man-hour d
labor, than com and the other
feed grains.
700 pounds of 4 percent milk
front the acre of atlas silage.
Take' it a step further end mul-
tiply the local selling price of
milk times the 4,790 and you’ll
have the value of the silage in
terras of tnilk, explains Burle-
son. Deduct the original cost
of the silage crop and the fig-
ure will represent the net
worth of the crop in terms of
milk.
With hot weather, pastures
will not generally provide all
of the grazing needed by the
herd and unless supplementary
pastures have been provided,
silage is the answer to the
feed problem, believes Burle-
son.
Use liberal amounts of ferti-
lizer and harvest and store
the crop at tlfe right stage of
maturity to get full value from
it, says the specialist. Use, he
says, the type of storage that is
best adapted to your section of
the state and for complete de-
tails on a silage program for
the farm, Burleson suggests
that dairymen or other live-
stock producers cheek with
the local county agent for in- Went to Sell, Buy or Trade ...
'formation that will aid in mnk- ,
ing the program even more
