Thousands of acre» of draught- stricken or Immature corn on Colorado farms need not be counted a total crop failure If this corn la stored as winter feed for live stock In trench alloe. Corn which may have no chance to mature a grain crop, may be saved at low coat by packing the whole green stalks In a trench alio. A trench silo Is a hole er trench dug In the ground at a convenient location with plow and scraper. Dimensions of a medium sized trench may be six to eight feet deep, with sloping sides about eight feet wide at the bottom and twelve feet wide at the top. The length of the silo will be governed by the amount of corn to be stored and the alxe of the live stock herd to be fed. Whole stalks of corn may be cut with a sled cutter, mower, or by hand and thrown Into the trench while green. Water Is added, especially near the sides, and the silage may he packed and cut by driving a sharp disc harrow over the stalks In the trench. The filled trench silo may be sealed by covering It with chaffy straw which Is v e t down, and upon which a four Inch layer of dirt la thrown. Plenty of high quality. Juicy feed for con venient uae during January storms will result, compared with very little feed to be gathered by farm animals If the present crap of corn Is allowed to stand and Is rrazed In the field.
