they have not shown that corr may
not possess high feeding value when
put into the silo even in an imma-
ture form.
At Elgin in North Dakota, I am
quite SURE that if the corn grown of
the Minnesota 10 variety in 1915 had
been put into the silo, it would have
furnished food to sustain a dairy cow
for a year. The product of that
COW should be worth $500 in a
year. AT Carson in North Dakota,
the corn produced by Mr.. Fillbach
would make an equally good show.
ing. Why should men say that in
western North Dakota corn can
rot be successfully grown?
In one respect, however, the grow
ing of corn in 1915 will be disappoint-
ing. In many instances the return
has been meager. Why? Because the
corr was not cared for. Because of
the excessive and unusual rainfall,
the cultivation of the corr was neg
lected. What is the outcome? Why,
on average soils, the corn crop is a
failure and the blame is laid on the
season.
Why should the blame be thus
laid? At our experiment farm at
Elgin, as stated, there is a crop Of the
Minnesota No. 10, the product OF
which if put into the silo would un-
questionably maintain a COW for a
whole year from each acre. This will
follow even in the face of the fact
that the frost should strike the corn
in the milk stage. Experience in
Canada sustains the contention that
good ensilage can be made from corn
that has not gone beyond the forma'
tive period of the grain, when it is
put into the silo.
The farmers who have allowed
their corn to turn into a weed patel
will be greatly disappointed. They
will have a failure in corn, and prob
ably also in the crop that follows the
corn and for the reason that tn
farmers have not kept the crol
clean. It might have been KEEP
clean had the harrow been used suffi
GENTLY before the crop was plantet
and the harrow or cultivator or boil
been used sufficiently after the plant
ing of the corn. Our magnifcen
J crops at Elgin and at Carson wer,
virtually clean.

CORN EVERY SEASON
IN THE NORTHWEST
BY Prof. Thos. Shaw

ny 1IO1s 4uO9s 0N8W
The season now closing has been
unusually adverse to the growth of
corn. This result has followed from
the unusually low temperatures that
have prevailed during nearly all the
growing season The weather has
been abnormal, and unusually so.
Notwithstanding, for two uses corn
has been grown successfully in all
or nearly all parts Of the Northwest.
One of the uses referred to relates
to squaw corn. It is grown not for
the fodder so much as for the grain.
It will ripen in less than 80 days in
any season if it is planted sufficiently
early. The present season it is ma
turing where it has been given a
fair chance. But the kind referred
to, it should be borne in mind, is the
white flint squaw corn. It may usu-
ally be relied on to produce not less
than rs bushels per acre. In some
instances when well cared for it will
produce much more. But at Is
bushels per acre, if hogged off, it
should give a return of not less than
$500 per acre at 6 cents a pound
for pork. The stalks may be left to
hold the snow. In areas where win
ter wheat is grown, it may be drilled
in between the corn rows at the
proper season, Notwithstanding the
hogging off process. The u~n-eaten
stalks will aid greatly in holding the
winters snow, thus protecting the
wheat. It will also bring more mois-
ture to the soil, since the stalks have
prevented the snow that fell from
blowing away. Even where winter
wheat is not much grown in the
Northwest, the aim should be to grow
squaw corn, because it furnishes one
of the cheapest modes by which
swine may be fattened, and because
it virtually hummer fallows the land
in the process of growing the corn
This means, that it prepares the land
for growing a safe crop of grain the
following year or the same land
Those who are seeking pork anc
wheat should therefore grow squaw
corn that it may aid them in the first
place in growing pork, and in the
second in growing wheat.
The other method by which corr
may be grown successfully in the
Northwest is when it is wanted for
the silo. To grow corn for the silo,
that is for providing food for dairy
or beef cattle, calls for a kind of
corn far different from the squaw
corn. 1t calls for a kind that will
produce a large tonnage relatively,
of fodder. Among the varieties
adapted to such use are the North
western dent, Rustler's white dent,
the Mercer flint and the Minnesota
No. 10. Among these the Minnesota
13 has shown itself to be one of the
best, though it natures a little later
than some of the varieties named.
1t suckers less than these and is
therefore more suitable for putting
into the silo.
The important point at issue, how
ever, is this: Even though the corr
was not matured when the frost
struck it, if put into the silo quite
soon thereafter, it was not seriously
hurt for .silage purposes. Eastern
chemists have labored to prove that
corn furnishes maximum value for
the silo when we'll matured. But
