Abstract
In an earlier communication on this subject(1), the writers arrived at the conclusion that the main reason for the comparative failure of attempts to grow maize as a silage crop in this country was due in large measure to the general use of the late maturing variety, American Horse Tooth. It was predicted that success would probably depend on discovering a variety of maize which is able to reach the desirable stage of maturity under English conditions before being cut for the silo. Preliminary trials had indicated that the necessary qualities might be found in certain varieties like Saltzer's North Dakota, Longfellow, Compton's Early and White Cap, all of which mature at least a month before American Horse Tooth.
