sometimes been stated that ensilage produced from hybrid com is lower in sugar content than ensilage from the standard varieties and that this lower content of sugar is respon sifale for certain troubles encountered in the feeding of hybrid ensilage to cattle in connection with this subject we learned from agricultural representa uve j e whitelock that the central experimental farm staff have con ducted some work on the matter which is rather illuminating sam pies of forage of five hybrids and two standard varieties were taken at time of cutting for ensilage sept 20th the samples were analyzed and the results showed the following percent age of sugar dekatb 240 7 40 per cent canada 606 7 75 per cent gol den glow med 632 per cent gol da 6458 40 per cent wise no 7 95 per cent indiana 110 jsaparcent and canada 60611 is per cent these results indicate that the sugar content was influenced more by the stage of maturity of the com rather than by the particular hybrid or va rity dekalb 240 is the earliest and canada 696 the latest in maturity with the other mybrids and varieties rnngnig in between these two in ibout the order listed in another te3t two comparable early and medium maturing varieties and hybrids were grown and cut on two different dates sept 1st and sept 2ls4 the hybrids were 531 early and 645 medium while the varieties were golden glow early and golden glow medium analysis showed the sugar content of the forage cut sept 1st to be as follows 531 1 46 per cent golden glow early 1254 per cent 645 19 04 per cent golden glow me cilurn 15 47 per cent for forage cut sept 21st the sugar content was 531 g9 per cent golden glow early 7 15 per cent 645 8 88 percent and golden glow medium 8 78 per cent here again the results indicate that wlile the sugar content is greatly infl enced in both hybrids and va rtetles by the stage of maturity the difference between sugar content of comparable early and medium hybrids and varieties cut at the same time is i isignlficant it would therefore seem as if halton fanners might well give a little more attention to the time of cutting hy brid com hybrid corn remains green in the foliage a little longer than or dinary varieties after the ears have reached a late maturity stage conse quently the ears should be examined and ottawa authorises recommend that cutting commence as soon as the ears have reached the dough stage variety show bingo gauss lucky draws street dance feature benefit event tor lions park friday night august 18th will see crowds on main street when the georgetown lions club will be hosts
