Overview

Excerpt from A Book on Silage Unwarranted claims for silage were often made dur ing the early days of the silo movement by enthusiasts in this country and abroad. A German agricultura writer predicted the day as likely to come when dry hay would be obtainable only in drug stores. While nc. American writer or speaker, to my knowledge, was sc carried away by his enthusiasm, excessive statements and reports were, nevertheless, often indulged in, which could not stand the light of further experience and investigation. The process of siloing forage, as we have seen, is practically as old as hay-making; but it is only during the last couple of decades that the process has been systematically studied and perfected. Thanks to the zealous work of the agricultural experiment sta tions in this and other countries, and to the mass of practical experience accumulated, our store of definite knowledge on the subject has now been greatly eu riched, and many problems previously standing in the way of success have been solved. The siloing of green fodders is no longer an experiment; the results may I foretold with as much certainty as in case of any ind try depending on the-action of ferments. With present knowledge of the subject, we therefore belie that we can place the silo where it belongs and give its due importance.
