CORN LAND PREPARATION IN
the GREAT PLAINS AREA

Experience has shown that the
production Of corn for fodder
or the silo is at least safe crop,
and perhaps as productive as any
that could be grown in the Great
Plains area. The response to the
different modes of culture and
crop sequence, however, is great
er in the southern and central
portions of the area than in the
northern, according to the new
bulletin, No. 2i9, by the U. S.
Department of Agricultural.
Some 4 field stations are situated
in the Great Plains "area, which
covers 10 states.' Montana, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming

June 1.-The distance between the
plants at the various stations
varied according TO the locality.
and the amount of moisture avail
able in the soil, and upon the ex-
pectation of producing grain.
At Judith Station in Montana, the
corn was not expected to produce
grain and the stand was thinned
to distance of 9 inches between
plants. However, i'm the south
ern stations. where the season is
much longer and the amount of
water available less, the distance
between plants was increased UNI
Til in some cases it was fully 81
inches. The various methods of
preparing the land for planting
corn are giving i'm the accompany
ing table which also shows the
cost per acre at 8 stations and the
total cost of production.
In general farm practice i'm the
Great Plains AGRA, corn is either
to be sliced or fed i'm the bundle
rather than shelled and sold on
the market. For that reason the
cost of corn here computed is for
corn in the shock. In arriving at
the total cost of production i'm
bushels per acre, 20 to rs pounds
TO bushel were allowed. a fix
ed wage of 50 per day for a man
and S day for horse was adopt
ed in arriving at the cost of pre-.
pairing the land; seed was charged
at the rate Of 90 cents per acre
interest and taxes on the land in
vestment calculated at 8 per cent
Oh valuation of 500 per acre
and deterioration and repairs to
the binder at is cents per acre.
The wages allowed the man and
team were considered sufficient
to cover the item of deterioration
of other farm equipment.
The average farm price of corn
on December in the four states
Of North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska and Kansas for the past
10 years was 81 cents per bush
ell. Corn in the sock is figured
at 40 cents per bushel, since il
is estimated that it costs ap-
proximately II cents per bushel
Tor husking, and putting corn in
the bin. The value of corn fod-
der or slower is difficult to esti-
mate, but the farm price of hay
in the above-named states on Dec
ember 1 for the past 10 years was
about 1922 per ton. Estimating
that corn slower, of quality pro-
duced in the dry farming sections,
is worth 2-3 as much as hay, the
value of fodder or slower is COM
puted to be about $500 per ton.
In accompanying table of the
comparative cost per acre for
producing corn by different meth
DDS, it is shown that with grain
worth 40 cents per bushel in the
farmers bins on December corn
which was grown on listed land
at 8 of the stations must only pro
duce is bushels in order to cover
the cost of production, whereas
the spring plowed land requires
some i7.0 bushels, fall-pfowed
1871 bushels. Summer-tilled
method has charged against it
twice as much as the listing
method, or 800 bushels.
