too much corn to stock not intended

Stop the Waste.

II is claimed by some farmers that
corn stalks can not be saved in the
southwest as in the north and west;
that they become too dry and woody.
and even il shredded will not bseaten
by cattle. They tell us that unless
the corn stands in the field until the
corn is hard that there will be great
loss in grain. They have, or at least
many Of them have, the idea that the
corn must be gathered and the stalks
cut afterwards, because the universal
custom has been to gather the corn
from the stalks as they stand in the
field. If they will wait until the ker-
nels are well;giazed, and then cut and
shock fhc.corn closely, the substance
remaining in the stalks will be sufti-
cient TO mature the corn, and the
stalks themselves will not dry out as
they would standing in the field. The
corn may then be pulled from the
stalks and the stalks hauled 10 the
shredder and made into q nutritious
hay, or they may be put through a
cutter and made into silage, and if
mixed with pea vines will make feed
about equal in value to the whole
corn silage.F 1t is an enormous waste
of feed to let the corn stalks dry up
in the ficlds.-Farm and Ranch.
