A broad channel at least one foot deep plus a long back slope is one of the answers to easier farming of your terraced land. All tillage operations should be with the terraces. Back furrow ing on the ridge leaving a dead furrow in the channel as you plow will help maintain channel depth. Cash Value of Corn Silage Farmers wondering about the cashiralue of their corn silage should ask for Extension Cir cular 131. "Corn and Sorghum" now available at the County Ex tension office. The circular points out that the cash value of corn silage may be calculated as follows: The amount of corn grain in well-eared silage is about 4 bush els per ton, and the total digesti ble nutrient content of the stalk portion of one ton of silage is equivalent to about 340 pounds of mixed hay. A common meth od of arriving at the price of corn silage is to rate it at one third the, local price of legume hay on-the farm. 1 Silage made from well matured corn will be 25. to 35 per cent higher in total digestible nutri ents and dry matter than silage make from immature corn.
