Save Both Halves of Your
Corn Crop.
("has. M. Nelierer in the Progressive
Farmer.
VVheu corn is grown for the
grain it is best not to cut fodder
till the kernels have become well
dented and hard and the husks
have become partly or entirely
dry.
The time of cutting is much
more important than is generally
supposed. From the time the
corn reaches the condition described,
there is or?linarily a
period of approximately ten to
fourteen days in which the stover
has high feeding value and the
production ol grain per acre is
not materially decreased by the
cutting. I believe the matter ot
cutting at the proper time is so
important, that some cut their
corn at a wrong time and do not
get paid for their trouble. NVhen
cut during the period mentioned
above, stover has approximately
the same value as timothy hay
and is worth as much per ton,
provided the stover is properly
cared for after cutting:. If the
cutting is delayed till the grain
is mature enough to husk and
crib, or if the stover is left standing
in small shocks in the field
till spring, the feeding value is
scarcely worth the expense of
feeding it and returning the
stalks to the land.
Some of our Southern friends!
easily make the error of trying
to follow the advice given in bul
letins or agricultural papers that :
are not suited to * out hern eon-j
ditions, getting into trouble and,
then saying that it does not pay I
to cut corn. Such literature as
41. - 4 11 " *
iiifti usuaiiy says ior arv climates
each shock should contain from
fourteen to eighteen hills of
stalk. That is oil thesupposi-,
tion that there will he two or
three stalks in each hill, which
is misleading since Southern
farmers do tot usually plant
their corn that way. That same
class of literature commonly
says in localities laving wet,
rainy and warm autumns it is
necessary to make shocks as
small as einilt or ten hills square i
In such small shocks nearlv nil
the stalks are exp -ed and cure
quickly. 1 he i i h-r should re I
main in such small -h cks only
long enough f r it 'o become
well cured. It allowed to remain
in small shocks, rains will
leach from the fou ler the soluble
and most palatable an 1 nutritious
food element-, making tinstover
dry, brittle, lastole.-a, of
little t< eding value. Si . as << n
as the -talk- are cured, husk
the corn an 1 place the stover in
large shocks, or the (odder
(stalks with the ears on them)
should be hat.led under shelter
where it will b? kept dry. If
the si ilk- and cars ;.re tVcl together
judiciou-iv, it may not
pay t" husk out ali the cm.
Mvery rea ier who I ;t- no' had
experience witIi feeding -tover
is advised lo re-read tho-e piris
ot this article tint rela'? to the
time of cutting and tr? keeping
the fodder in good condition.
Approximately r ne-ha 11 of the
feeding value of tin' ccm croj? is
in the husks, leaves and stalks?
that is. outside ot the ears. The
THE
problem is how to manage tha<
half so that it is not lost. Thai
half is lost, I believe, ninetynine

C.l.l. UM -i-.L -II :
umus- siot-K are anowet
to run in the fields, the stover if
usually weathered so much before
it is eaten, that the feeding
value is very low. The com mot
method of pulling the leaveg
from corn stalks is a wide spreac
practice that lose money ever}
time.
