From bulletin. department Of agricul-
ture, Canada.
to adverse climatic peculiarities. ac-
cOrding to bulletin issued by the
Canadian department Of agriculture.
The reasons for growing or making
an attempt to grow this forage crop
wherever live stock are kept in any
numbers are numerous and cogent. A
few of them follow:
AS plant capable of yielding large
amount of valuable forage under a
great variety of soil and climatic con-
ditons corn is without an equal.
When properly preserved. whether
as ensilage or dried, it can be used as
material to render other less palatable
roughage more acceptable to farm an
imalS.
When properly grown and we'll pre-
served as ensilaGe it is the equal of or
superior to roots in feeding value and
palatability. 1t can. however. gener-
ally speaking. be more cheaply grown
and more easily preserved than roots.
The labor of growing an acre of corn
is of a character much more agreeable
to perform and much less arduous than
that of growing an acre of roots of any
description.
Corn, being a cultivated or hoed crop
serves we'll to clean the land-that is.
free it from weeds. so fitting it for
grain growing and putting it into
shape to seed down to grass or hay.
Corn is IA gross feeder and may be
depended upon to make good use of Il
never so abundant supply of plant
food. 1t is for this reason particularly
we'll adapted to occupy that place III
the rotation where humifying vegeta-
Bile matter and fairly liberal supply
of barnyard manure unite to supply
large quantities of plant food suitable
for root. leaf and stem growth rather
than for seed production.
The growing of corn on a fair pro-
portion of the arabic land on the farm
will permit of keeping more cattle and
50 increase the revenue as well as aug
ment the manure supply so essential
to the maintenance of soil fertility.
Corn when preserved as ensilage can
be stored much more cheaply in much
less space than any other roughage
In addition. stored in this way it will
keep indefinitely and is always ready
to feed.
