SAVING Corn "Reminiscences have sell
dom seen their corn fields in the condition
they are now, wind and rain storms having
bent and twisted the fodder to such an extent
that it will be toilsome work to save it. A
reader of The H!gis makes the following sug-
gestion with regard to cutting tangled corn ::
If instead of using the ordinary corn cutter
a heavy, sharp hoe with a short handle be
used, the stalks can be cut off close to the
ground, leaving the ground clear for wheat,
and saving all the corn stalk, which according
to experiments made at the State Experiment
Station is the most valuable part of the fod
der. strap on the handle to go over the
hand is an addition.
