on until the grain is in the milk and
well formed. n period of about sew
enty days. the fields are kept flooded.
About ten days before harvest the
leyees are cut and the fields are drain

lures and by the time it Is ready to
cut the field is sufficiently dry to per-
NIT tie use of the reaper and binder.
This machine is iden ical with that
used in the grainfelds elsewhere in the

will grow faster and give heavier

duced solely from corn. 1t Is done by
feeding in addition to corn, skimmilk,
