GROW FODDER CORN TO

HAY CROP
By r. s. SHAW.
Director Michigan Experiment Station

The past winter has witnessed
shortage OF hay with market prices at
an exceedingly high level and the
prospects for a 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
iured 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

reduced but more fodder corn should
be grown. This class OF corn does

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

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 1t
might be fed.
II Is Of course desirable in order TO
get a good crop OF fodder corn that It
be planted on fairly rich we'll pre-
pared soil. IL 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.

Under the present conditions we
