LATE SEASON FORAGE CROP
by. Prof. ]. II. She

(By. Prof. J. H. Shepperd.)
The hay crop for 1910 is very short
and the question now before the stock
Ownehs is the providing for winter
feed.
Fortunately a dry. early season is
usually followed by rainy, late sea-
son, which gives chance for late
sown forage crops to make big
growth.
There is considerable land summer
fallowed annually and all such land
which has been plowed can now be
seeded to corn or to millet and pro.
duce good supply of rough feed for
carrying stock through the winter.
In the season of 1900 l planted
corn on field Of ten acres which l
had left for following and had plow-
ed and narrowed some time before
and got yield Of over four tons Of
dry fodder per acre on the land. I
planted common feed corn on the
field in drill rows wide enough apart
to be cultivated with corn cultivator
and thick in the rows. i. e.. a grain
of corn every two or three inches in
the row.
This field was planted on the 9TH
day of July. That land had been
plowed and narrowed early in the
season and hence was in better shape
than most available land will be now,
but with plenty of rain, almost any
fallow field will give enough roughage
to pay we'll this year of hay short
