Throe hundred acres of sunflower:: '
are being grown lor silage ial'matil- !
la county this year and t his type of
ensilage will be used in half the 26 i
silos in this county.
The use of sunflowers for Bilage is
practically a new enterprise in the
county and it was not until three
years ago that Umatilla county far
mers found by experiment that the
tonnage from r.n acre of sunflor.-ers is
double that from yn acre of corn
while the food value is practically the
same.
The majority of the sunflowers
grown in Umatilla county are grown j
by the Smythe interests, the total be- j
ing 1 HO acres and the ensilage is used :
for feeding sheep. Some of the sun
flowers are grown in Coombs canyon j
by Tullock & Smythe and some ;.t
Butter creek by the Pendleton Sheep .
Co. Smythe Pros, grow a crop al- j
so at Arlington in Gilliam county.
Hariplon & Gulliford, west end ,
sheep rai.'ii rs, use ensilage for feeding !
lambing ewes. A. A. Bixby, of Erie- '
water, will this year hat-vest his third !
crop of sunflowers. By a check kept j
for the past tvo yecrs. Mr. Bixby haa j
found that his cows- do just as well i
on sunflower ensilage as on corn.
J. E. Troxel, v.'ho owns a dairy
ranch near Pendleton, is another far
mer who is growing sunflowers ex
tensively this ye .r. He has 40 acres
of the crop. Last year he filed one j
silo with sunflowers and another with !
sunllowers and corn. His cows give
a third more milk than do cov.s own
ed by other diirymen of this section.
The Eastern Oregon State Hospital
uses the sunflower ensilage also and
this year because of lack of pas
ture is feeding it to stock during the
summer months. The cron is being
cut while in bloom, although it is
customary to leave the flowers untill
about two-thirds of the seeds are in
the "dough" stage. The silos will
be refilled with corn when the crop
is ripe and the sunflower silage Is
gone.
An advantage claimed for the en
silage by Fred Benniom, county agent
Is that of succulency. Mr. Bennion
says also that when a third of sun
flower ensilage is used with two
thirds of corn the silos can be pack
ed with much better success. While
silos are somewhat etxpensive in or
iginal cost, Mr. Bennion says, thts is
warranted by subsequent saving.
