(Sentinel Photo) , „ Sixteen Taking Extension Course Coos People See Plane Wreckage Cheap Box Silo Works Well I t ’s about this season of the year when silage feeding startSTnearn- est, that a few farmers w ill w rite to Oregon State college and In quire: “W hat’s wrong w ith my silage— the cows don’t like it?” Experience from past years in dicate two silage making errors w ill cover most of the difficulties, answers Harold P. E w alt, exten sion dairy specialist. For unap petizing, sour smelling silage, Ew alt says the usual fa u lt lies in the fact the silage was put up too moist or w ith no preservative, or at least too little, added. W hite mold on the silage is an other frequent complaint. This, says Ew alt, is often caused by loose packing or when the silage is put up too dry. In either event, it is too late a f ter the damage is done to correct it. Unappetizing silage, how ever, may be “dressed up” by add ing a little bran m ix or molasses. Cows w ill often learn to eat slightly unpalatable sour silage i t it is put before them for several days. To farmers who open their silos for the first Ume and find e x - a rem inder for next year to tram p a reminder for next year to tram p silage for several successive days after the silo is filled . A good rule to follow is to tram p a sila daily until settling is completed. In rare cases an additional cause of off-flavored silage results from excessive weeds. Grass silage is the cheapest feed available; according to Ew alt. He recommends that dairy animals be given all of this type of feed they w ill eat, since it is practically im possible to overfeed. He cautions, however, that up to 40 pounds daily is the lim it fo r corn silage. Foundering w ill result from ex cessive silage feeding. Three times a day feeding has resulted in increased silage con sumption for many dairymen, Ew alt adds. A L S E A — A practical above-the- ground silo for grass silage was b uilt here by Cris Baune for just 75 dollars. The silo is essentially just a 9x22 foot box, 11 feet high, made of planks and heavy timbers and w ired together. The silo was filled w ith grass, clover, vetch and oats last spring. When opened re cently it showed very little spoil age, reports County Agent Stone w a ll Jackson. • • Rotarians Hear Alton Grimes Alton Grimes, fo r 28 years an employee of the Coquille post- office, gave Rotarians an Interest ing and entertaining ta lk on w o rk ing in a postoffice Wednesday noon.
