alexmuira near woodstock there did seem however to be a wide titvprgnnro nf opinion on nffiliy factors in connection with gross silage making where upright silos were being utilized few if any of those visited had anyone in the silo they used distributor pipes and allowed it to cone up in the silo and it was only for the inst 0 or 10 feet that they did any tramping one thing all of these men did agree on ls that it is better to put the grass and clover in a little too wet than too dr while this may be the except mnal year most of them had the forage harvester following immed iately behind the mower and wind rower in fact at one of the hep burn farms they were using forage harvester which combined in one operation the cutting of the standing crop and the chopping of the green crop and blowing it mio the accompanying truck mr hepburn is a strong believer in pit silos last year in one hug- pit he put in 105 acres of grass and clover at the time of our vlsii thc were again filling this pit and at the same time another cqualh large pit was being bulldozed oui nearby white he has a tower silo on the farm it is not being utilized in so far as we could determine it should be borne in mind how ever that mr hepburn had an ideal location for the construction of pit silas and furthermore the idea ties in well with his system of ranch feeding his large herd of herefords which at the present time numbers nearlv 500 perhaps we should also point out that oil of the equipment necessary for be construction of the pits as well a the actual harvesting of the green crop is owned on the form in other words some of the equipment used in the construction of his pits is simply borrowed for the time being from his gravel pit enterprise which incidentally is a story in itself new trends

con structed and filled with grass and legume silage before starting off on the bus trip then at the lindal farm of maurice c beatv we saw a horizontal silo built on top of the ground with the aid of
