I r'j* THURSDAY. FEB. 19, 1953 THE EAGLE, VERNONIA, »ROUND THE FARM cSASSL • , . •' t ! . • 4- *V Last summer several farmers tried sulfur dioxide to preserve their grass silage. It is a fairly new development for this area so we are interested in how good a job it did. The sulfur dioxide treated sil age looks and smells very good. The suggestion was made that we pick some grass silage samples and have them analyzed for pro tein and dry matter to see how the different kinds compared. Eight samples were taken. The following were sulfur dioxide treated: Alta fescue-subclover from Ed Workman, Deer Island; ryegrass from Paul Borlin, Deer Island; alfalfa-hairy vetch from Frank Trachsel, Deer Island and pea vines from C. W. Sherman, Scappoose. All these samples were from upright silos. To make some comparisons un treated silage samples were also tested. Mixed grass from a trench silo at Harry Kern's, Deer Island; pea vines from an upright silo at Vem Kohlstrand's, Warren; rye grass from an upright at Borlin’s and ladino clover-grass from Knu. sei’s Dairy, Scappoose. Duplicate samples of all these various silages will be brought in •to a meeting on Tuesday, Febru ary 24, at the courthouse, St. Helens. The analysis of protein and dry matter in these silage samples will also be posted. Harold Ewalt, extension dairy men from OSC. who has wide experience in silage making, will lead the discussion. Anyone in terested in silage is invited to at tend the meeting.

They will pay particular atten tion to the scale or size of the 1750— animal, the thickness of flesh and the smoothness of body. Chest, back, loin, rump, and 1500— round are equally important. All these points are examined 1250— to determine the quality of that animal as a breeding animal in the herd. 1000— One of the best ways to learn about quality beef animals is to 750— get a group of livestock men to I gether around some cattle and get them to talking about the 500— quality of those animals.
