Tuesday, August, 2, 192 r AT THE STAR mm a kks sim- IjOwkrs for! hll.AGK IX OIAT1LEA COIXTV j 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. East Oregonian. y . u a, . ... ... 't ' ifi 'tef J wi .i." w J V t W. V W V W W Vi.
