Occasionally, the rains will stop she ensilage making, too, but for the most part there has been jttle hinderance. Recognition of the value of •ilagc continues to grow as ev- jdenced by the numerous new tilos that we have around again •.Ins spring. However, there is no particular uniformity in the type of new silo that is built Gener ally, there seems to be more in terest in the trench silos, as •here seem to be more of that particular type being construct ed than any other. Some are iibove ground and some are dug into the ground where conditions are suitable. Dick Richards, manager of the Joe Fisher Ftereford Ranch, told as about something that they tried to reduce the amount, of -spoilage and unpalatable silage •n the top portion of their trench i silo« which does not have a roof. Dick says that after filling their trench, they poured molasses •ver it. This molasses helps to I teal the top of the silage and at | .’he same time it keeps the upper j ■ poition« of the silage palatable it is carried downward. Ken Asburry. Bachelor Flat, is filling a new trench silo that is dug partly out of the hillsid1*. The walls of this silo are concrete .and there is also a concrete floor Plans are made to put a ¡roof over this silo.
