this work will come when other farm
work IS not progressing. Land that is
to be used for fodder corn should re.
ceive the same thorough preparation
that Is given to ordinary corn ground.
a common practice is to drill in rows
three and one-half feet. apart, using
thirty or forty pounds OF seed per
acre. The Dent varieties that mature
for grain in the locality will be best
and when soWn at the rate that we
have just mentioned, viii grow from
two to three inches apart in the row.
Large ears will not form when sown
this thick and the result will be ian
abundance of fine stalks and much leaf
growth. The seed may be sown with
q corn planter or with disc drill.
When sown in this manner the ground
should be narrowed and then cult
waited until the stalks shade the
ground. The corn should be allowed
to reach maturity before being cut. A
satisfactory way to handle at harvest
ing time is to use a corn binder, bind
ing ing in fair sized bundles and shocking
in reasonably large shocks. An acre
of land should yield from three to five
tons OF cured fodder. Another method
is to use the grain drill, planting in
rows about twenty inches apart. This
will insure a crop of the finest quality
Of forage. When sown in this manner
the ground should be thoroughly har-
roWed after planting and the corn will
soon be large enough to shade the
ground. The harvesting is best ac-
complished by using the grain binder,

ers are practically assured Of good
crop Of grain after q well cared for
crop Of corn. The increase In a moist
season as compared with grain after
stubble will usually be not less than
a3 per cent, and IA, q dry year not less
than so to IS per cent.
M II is peculiarly unfortunate that So
much Of the, seed corn in all the North
west is Of low termination. The effect
will be to greatly restrict the planting
Of corn the present season. It is also
to be feared that much Of what is
planted will make but a poor stand.
The wise thing will be to make the
best Of the situation and be careful to
save an ample supply Of seed for the
next year. M (. 3 ]; .3fs D #5E 4
The following conc illusions have been
reached as the@result of the work Of
1911 in growing corn in Montana: # /.
That corn fodder may be grown sue
cessfully on new breaking or On stub
bic land autumn plowedfin d normal
season. 2. That such varieties as the
Northwestern Dent, the Mercer Flint
and the Minnesota 10 may. be matured
sufficiently to- make good fodder up5to
the elevation Of 1000 feet. 3. That
the best time to plant corn is during
the last half Of May. 4. That from
one to four tons Of cured fodder may
be grown per acre with an average Of
about two tons. 5. That in the lower
elevations good crops Of the grain,
that is ears, may be grown. 5445 ss.s

The great value Of the corn crop for
the Northwest - only now coming to
be und erstood d: It Is, In a sense, sur
prising that 50 many years should go
BY without. serious attempts having
been made to grow corn In fact the
afarmations were numerous that it
could not be grown, that it would
freeze both spring and fall. .5.
What are the facts? In 1910, North
Dakota, It is claimed, doubled the corn
crop, running the same up to about a
million acres. In many places, in fact,
in nearly all, the corn reached virtu-
ally the ripening stage. Had the au-
tumn been a normal one, doubtless the
state would have had enough seed to
supply itself the present year That
much OF the seed saved was deficient
in terminating power was no more
characteristic of North Dakota than Of
other states Of the Northwest, as Min
nesota, Iowa and South Dakota.
IN 1911, the Great Northern demon.
stration plats contained 81 separate
acres in various parts Of the state.
The major portion Of the plats, in fact
two-thirds of them, were in the north
ernpart Of the state. Some Of these
plats had an elevation Of more than!
1000 feet, and quite number an ele-s
votion Of more than 5000 feet. The
average yield \ of fodder was ,472
pounds, or two tons and 472 pounds.
The value Of such fodder to the farmer
in the dry country can be readily I'M
derstood. The largest yields, ~ tons
per acre, were obtained from the farms
ofS39Thos. E.i Linden, Columbia Falls,
and $Chas. McVey, Kalispell. The sec
ond largest yield was made by George
II. Stevens, Benton, and It made 4 tons
per acre. On the farm of j. W. King,
Glasgow, SO bushels of ears were OBJ
tanned. This is up near the Canadian
line. Peter Collier Of Medicine Lake
grew 80 acres Of fodder corn which
I. was a very good crop. This too is
near the Canadian line. In the valley
of the Yellowstone, near Billings, 100
bushels Of corn was obtained per acre,
but it was grown on. irrigated land.

AGE CROPS. h

Over Jnls entire region there is yet
ample time to provide for an abund-
ant supply Of forage for fall and win
ter feeding. The heavy rainfall that
characterized the month Of April has
brought a wealth of grass that will in
sure "a plentiful supply for those who
are fortunate enough tc have 9 stand
of grass, but the difficulty lies in the
fact that the past two years have been
extremely disastrous to those who
we're endeavoring to establish mead
oWs and pastures. X In a great major
ity Of instances, all efforts to secure q
stand Of grass were fruitless and many
farmers are now confronted with the
problem Of providing a substitute for
la hay crop 7 ss 81 .E. II N 81: 4.
While the present season is fex-
tremely favorable for ablishing a
meadow Or pasture, there is no grass
that will make enough growth in one
season to provide sufficient feed. The
only recourse is o5turn to the annual
grain crop which may be, raised to an
advantage, If properly managed. The
mixture of small grain, that is fire.
quently recommended for 4 hog and
sheep pasture, is not 80 satisfactory
for cattle. This mixture may be used
to some extent, but it is always at
tended by considerable waste as a re.
suit of trampling. When grain crops
are the only reliance, better results
will follow the practice Of cutting the
grain and feeding it green as a .soiling
crop. The forage that is not used in
this manner may beS cut later and used
as dry fodder. The me thod Of cutting
and feeding green forage involves con.
siderable labor, and it is possible that
in localities where land is low in price
and labor high, it may, be more profita.
