. Concrete stave silos, Brooks patent;. oragepurposes to only a limited extent in the PacificCoast States, partly because other forage cropsdo better in different sections of this territory.Indian corn is, however, pre-eminently thegreat American silage crop and is, generallyspeaking, better adapted for siloing processesthan any other field crop. The reasons for thisare easily seen. The thick stems and broadleaves of the corn plant pack well in the silowhen cut; corn is rich in starch and other non-saccharine carbohydrates which insure silageof a moderate acidity, and it is relatively lowin protein substances, so that the clanger ofundesirable fermentations in the silo is re-moved. Corn is planted thicker when grown forsilage than for grain and a larger proportionof nutrients are, as a result, obtained in thestalks in the former case. The closeness ofplanting varies somewhat in different sec-tions, according to soil and climate. The com-mon practice in growing corn for grain is toplant in hills three and one-half feet apart. C. L. Builer, Modesto. Calif., built this 12x40Brooks Stave Silo. 4 BROOKS PATENT CONCRETE STAVE SILO both ways; when intended for silage it is generally planted in drillsthree and one-half feet apart, with stalks eight to ten inches apart inthe row. This will secure a fair proportion of ears and a maximumyield of feed materials in the crop taken off the land. Experiments conducted with regard to the effect of different meth-ods of planting corn have shown that the yields obtained are not mate-rially influenced by the distribution of the seed so long as the amountof seed per acre remains the same. The question of planting corn inhills or drills may, therefore, be decided wholly on the score of con-venience of cultivating and harvesting the crop. In growing corn for the silo a variety should be selected that willmature in the particular locality given and that will yield a maximumamount of dry matter to the acre.
