Show Legume Crops Are Not Satisfactory for Silage Legume crops do not make good j fertilizer as a rule. They are so high j In nitrogen and low In sugars and ; starches that they do not keep well i In a silo. At the University of Mis- sourl some years ago Professor Eckels I was able to make very good silage out of alfalfa hay that he allowed to wilt j before putting In the silo. Most ex ' pertinents, however, have not been so successful, it Is necessary to save some sugar and starch fermentation to develop a good keeping quality. |
