CORN GROWING IN MAINE
Maine Farmers Now Raise Corn and
Put 1t Into Sil0-Sweet Corn Can
he Raised Successfully

The value of the corn crop in Maine
is the subject of much discussion. IN
| the recent issue of the New England
Homestead. In the compilation of
figures it is shown that Maine buys a
vast amount of yellow corn or meal
that the writer claims ought to be
raised on the farms in Maine. 1t
shows that the yellow corn crop in
Maine last year was 100000 bushels
and urges the farmers to raise more
yellow corn and buy less from the
west.
All this is good, but like many an
other question there Is more than one
side to it. $4,000 may be the BUSH
els raised of yellow corn fed as whole
corn or grain in this state. But who
can estimate the number of bushels
of yellow corn that Is fed to stock in
Maine in the form of ensilage? The
New England Homestead in this ar
ticle urges that farmers have now
learned better way, raise more yell
low corn to be fed to the stock, of
course hauling all or the most of 1t
to the grist mills to be ground, else
much would be wasted as cob.
Maine farmers do not raise yellow
corn that way nowadays. The day
of the old fashioned husking bee has
gone in Maine, on any extensive plan.
The farmers have now learned bet
| ter way. The farmer 25 years ago
and more raised several acres of yell
low corn After this was cut and
cured the ears were carefully dried
out and then the laborious work of
husking. 1t was fun, no doubt, es-
pecially when a young man found a
red ear. Even though the red ears
have passed the young folks get
along very well nowadays without
them.
Cheap western corn drove the
Maine farmer to buying it. Now
corn is high again. Instead of buy
{ ing corn the Maine farmer raises
many more acres than the older men
ever did. 1t is planted, and hoed
and harvested and cut into the silo
all by machinery. Ten acres Is not
big lot for a Maine farmer to feed
out in a winter. Ten acres, years
ago would have been a wonderful
sight The Maine farmers say they
get better results from putting the
corn ears and all, into the>silo than
by ripening the corn and feeding 1t
dry. The Maine farmer is using in
tensive and extensive methods in
growing corn that beats the old fash
toned way all out.
Another side to this question. The
New England Homestead does not
give credit for the sweet corn raised
In Maine. Hundreds of Maine farm
ers claim they can raise sweet cor,
and sell it to the factory and buy
the western grains and then make
|
for Maine farmer to get 500 an
acre for his sweet corn. He can't
get half of that from an acre of yell
low corn. . Why raise yellow corn
when sweet corn pays better? Why
ripen yellow corn when it can be
raised cheaper and be made a sure
crop every year by putting it in the
silo? In Maine in recent years vel
low corn has often failed to come
to maturity. But the silo method
takes care of 1t every year without
loss.
Give the Maine farmer credit fol
the yellow corn he put in his silc
and for the sweet corn he grows ant
makes money in growing.-Lewistor
