PRINCIPAL DRY FARM CROP
In Case Corn Fails to Mature It Can

Corn is one of the principal crops

reason there is a failure of crop ma

abundance of the very best of feed for

The silo is one OF the best possible

silage, every bit OF the corn can be
utilized. About 40 per cent OF the
nutrients in corn are in the stalk, and
without the silo most OF this goes to
waste.

DRY FARM SEED ESSENTIALS
Great Many Failures May Be Attribu-
ted to overseeding-Mueh Care
Must Be Exercised.

One OF the most important prob
lens associated with dry farming is
the determination OF the rate OF seed
ing per acre. A great many failures
In dry farming may be attributed to
overseeing.
The one limiting factor of crop pro-
duction on dry lands is moisture. and
1t Is largely because Of its deficiency
that care must be exercised in the rate
OF planting. Each plant In the soil
takes out large quantities OF waller,
which are eNaporated into the air
through the leaves, consequently
when thick stand is obtained large
quantities OF water are drawn from
the soil.
A thick, luxuriant stand in the
spring or early summer is no indica-
tion OF good harvest, as the prob
abilities are that such heavy stand
will deplete the soil OF moisture and
prevent complete maturity OF the crop.

The time when dairy cattle can be

conditions. the abundance of pasture

teriorates.
To sustain an even flow OF milk we
must be prepared TO supply additional

Another very common mistake made

The corn ensilage has the advantage
OF being at hand in case the drought

when it is difficult to get soiling crops
to growing heavily enough. Corn is
both the best grain and soiling crop.
This fact has been a stumbling block
to many farmers. In trying to save
grain and ensilage for winter feeding
they have allowed many dollars to
slip through their hands by under
feeding in the summer.
The same holds good when clover
and alfalfa are saved for hay. when
the cattle are suffering for succulent
food. In no way can we realize
greater feeding value from these crops
than by cutting and feeding them
green.

policy to allow cows to fall away in

1t is true that when corn is cut

when 1t is mature. but the ripened
stalk and leaves are largely wasted as
much OF the crop is harvested.
When cut and fed green there is
scarcely any waste. for the whole
stalk. leaves and grain are eaten.
While corn in its roasting ear stage
has less total nourishment than the
whole plant when matured, yet when
cut at this time 1t will actually give
better results than when husked from
the standing stalk and fed later after
the cattle have fallen away in their
milk yield and flesh condition.
More than one-half of the rundown
condition of dairy cattle during the
winter can be traced to decline in
condition before they go into winter
quarters in the fall.
