should be cut for silage whep it is in full bloom two or- three hours bf wilting in the field is hot likely to make the silage too dry but longer periods of wilting in dry sunny weather might result in too great a loss of moisture from the ted clover lying in tbe swath if the cut crop should become very wet from rain it should be allowed to dry ov well before ensiling power is to be developed the
