How the business Is Made Profitable In
Malnn "A An Adjunct 70 Darling.

How the Business Is Made Profitable In
Maine as an Adjunct TO Dairying.
Corn canning in Maine is similar to
corn canning in other states, but the
production of sweet corn by the farmers
in this state appears to have been
brought to more highly successful de-
velopment as an annex to the daj-Y
business than has been the result In otn-
er states, and so brief mention of the
way the business is conducted here may
be of advantage to farmers elsewhere.
30 far as my observation goes, but few
farmers here raise corn for the factories
except those who run dairy business
The corn is planted usually in May, but
sometimes il is the 1st Of June before
conditions Of warmth and dryness are
such as to permit Of seed being put into
the ground. Land that has been planted
for year Or more is usually selected
for corn, and two hoeings are given, If
possible.
When the corn is fit for canning In
the fall, all ears, except those that are
small and inferior, are broken off and
hauled In farm wagons to the factory,
which may be anywhere from one to six
miles away. The husks and cobs are re-
turned to the farmers, are hauled home
and usually fed out at once to the COWS
to supplement the failing pastures The
stalks in the field with the small and
imperfect ears on them are cut into the
silo and fed out to the COWS during the
winter. Where 10 or 90 acres of sweet
corn are raised it can be seen that q
large amount Of ensilage is secured, and
that the sale of the corn brings in a
good deal of extra money.
Briefly stated, the farmer secures n
very good quality and large quantity
of ensilage and has a money crop in ad-
dition, and all from the single crop of
sweet corn. Many in other states have
expressed surprise at the money returns
Of this crop here in Maine, but it seems
to me that as good results ought to be
possible in other states, especially as
here we have both ends Of the season
shortened and risk Of great loss in
CURED by late frosts in spring and early
frosts in the fall. 1t is not at all un-
usual for farmers here to clear 800 an
acre from their corn and to have besides
the ensilage for fodder This is certain
ly profitable farming, and allied, as it
is, with one If the best paying branches
Of farming today, dairying, it makes
team that cannot be excelled.
In localities where crimson clover
can be grown lnofitably the fertility of
the soil could be oheaply and perma-
nently maintained for corn culture by
using the clover as catch crop to oc-
cupy the ground when the corn is off,
and to be turned under the following
spring
