Harvesting usually lasts for several weeks con sidering weather conditions, maturity of crops, etc. Each row must be harvested. The corn is ground into pieces one-half inch in length, blown into a chuck wagon and haul ed to storage located near the dairy.

This makes excellent | cattle feed and they love it. j Most of our dairymen are I feeding corn silage and get high production. Wood Brothers have ap proximately 150 acres of corn planted and say this is the best corn year they have had since they have been in the dairying business. In fact, one field we visited looked as if it would make 100 bushels per acre. 'Wood Brothers, as all dai rymen, use a great deal of fertilizer. On their corn they used 1000 pounds of 3-9-18 with a total number of units of nitrogen reaching 150. In addition to their corn, they have 150 acres of pasture and 125 acres of soybeans. Every year, except this, they have nlanted cotton, according to Rufus. They are planning to go back to cotton next year. Congratulations to Wood Brothers for the fine job they are doing in “ Supplying our citizens with good clean, wholesome products. 25 Tons Per Acre Shown above operating the forage machine on Wood Brothers Farm is Vernon Campbell.
