Reds.
Away back in the main column one
could see the Reds leap to their horses

several of the upper buds to break

GROW FODDER CORN TO
SUPPLEMENT LIGHT
HAY CROP
BY r. S. SHAW,
Director Michigan Experiment Station

The past winter has witnessed a
shortage Of hay with market prices at
an exceedingly high level and the
prospects for large crop during the
present season are not good. Because
OF the unusual severity Of the drouth
one year ago catches Of grass and
clover seed either failed or suffered
more or less injury. During the win
ter just passed new meadows were in
jured more or less In many localities
In addition to this the total area seed
ed has been reduced somewhat be-
cause of the high prices of grass and
clover seeds.
The probable hay shortage during
the present season creates a serious
situation confronting the Michigan
farmer who keeps live stock. This
shortage can be overcome in part by
growing more corn. We do not be-
lieve the area of corn grown in hills
for husking or for the silo should be
reduced but more fodder corn should
be grown This class of corn does
not rush the work of the ordinary
corn planting season for it can be
sown later in the season any time
from May oath to June 18th, depend
ing on the location, kind of soil and
character Of the season. Corn of this
kind should not be grown for the pur.
pose of husking but rather for feed
ing In the bundle or shredded form.
An endeavor should be made to pro-
duce in the crop not less than so per
cent. of normal yield of ears. Even
more than this would be desirable for
many kinds of live stock to which it
might be fed.
1t is of course desirable in order to
get q good crop OF fodder corn that Il
be planted on a fairly rich well pre-
pared soil. 1t can be drilled in rows
about three feet apart with the stalks
twelve inches apart in the row. These
distances should of course be varied
somewhat TO meet the particular
needs.
Corn thus grown can be fed during
the winter from the shock or stack
and is well suited to the needs OF
horses, cattle and sheep when forming
q part of the ration only being supple
mented by some leguminous roughage,
concentrates or succulence according
to the kind and condition of the ami
nal and the purpose for which it is be-
ing fed. 1t is only when corn fodder
or corn stalks only, with or without
the addition of straw. forms the ex-
elusive diet throughout long periods OF
time that unsatisfactory results arise.
Under the present conditions we
cannot urge Michigan farmers too
strongly to grow more fodder corn
this season in order to cope with tho
scarcity and high prices Of feed which
are likely to continue throughout the
coming winter

than the others should be checked by
shortening in. 80 as to maintain an
evenly balanced head. Some varieties
have an upright habit of growth and
some make slender, struggling
growth. All need attention each year.
In cutting back the last years growth
the top bud should be left on the side
OF the branch facing the direction In
which the growth needs to be di-
verted BY this method there will be
no difficulty in shaping the tree into
any desired form.
All pruning and training possible
should be done while the trees are
young and the growth of wood is
tender. At such time the healing
over is more rapid and complete, and
the tree suffers less injury.
Old trees that have been neglected
may be renewed by severe pruning,
cutting back all the branches that are
not in a healthy condition. This
pruning will cause new, vigorous
shoots to grow. The new growth will
need to be cut back as occasion re-
quires. BY persistent pruning an en-
tire new top may be formed in few
years.
The pyramidal form differs from
the vase form in that the main lead

maintain its upright growth and the
side branches are shortened back so
as to produce the shape of pyramid.
