Silage crops should not be cut unt they are well toward maturity. Mo crops reach their full feeding value v or near maturity. To make silage c them before this stage is wastefu The sllage will be low in feedir value; it is usually sour and may slol According to John M. Scott, an mal industrialist to the Universil of Florida experiment station, moi poor silage is made from immxatui than from over-ripe crops. Corn should never be cut when t) ear'is forming, because most of tl food is made after that stage. should he cut wihen the grain is tihe hard dlough stage and beginnim to dent, or when the outside shucl on the ears mare dhrying andI turnim brown.
