Large Yield Of Fodder.

Large Yield Of Fodder.
Mr.. j. r. Scott, Of Gilby, North Dar
kota, grew 40 acres OF fodder corn
last summer that produced sufficient
fodder corn to winter los head OF
cattle, with the prospect OF having
a large amount left over. Below he
gives his method q growing fodder
corn:
The land was old, having grown
about twenty crops Of wheat or
other small grain. The land was
plowed in the spring and planted as
soon after blowing as it could be
gotten ready. In fact some was
planted the same day as plowed. tt
was rolled with corrugated iron
roller and narrowed as fast as ploW-
ed in order to retain all tie moisture
there was in the land. Corn was
planted with four-horse drill in
double rows. 1t was narrowed after
planting once before it came up, and
narrowed crosswise of the rows as
soon as it was we'll up and again
lengthwise a week later. Rains pre-
vented any more narrowing. The
harrow was light slanting tooth
harrow. About half the field was
planted May 18th, the other half
June 18th. The later seeding was
the best on account OF the weather.
It being 50 dry when first planting
was done and dry all the time be-
tween first and second planting that
but little Of the first planting came
up until after late planting was
done.
We cultivated with two horse-rid-
ing cultivator, going through it once
a week until it got too large to culti-
waite without damage. But it grew so
fast that we did get only about
half OF the field cultivated the third
time.
The crop was very heavy and from
eight to twelve feet high. We com
menced cutting it with corn
harvester Sept. End, and got it all
cut and we'll shocked in large shocks
before frost. The fodder is firm, and
young cattle are getting fat on it
this winter. We haul it from the
| field as we feed it, which l think is
the cheapest and best way to handle
it nine years out OF ten. We put
straw under the shocks of about
two-thirds Of the field to prevent it
from freezing down, which was I'M
necessary SO far this winter, but very
necessary some winters in the past.
The seed planted was s Mimi. No. 13. =
