SAVE MORE OF THE CORN
CROP

(By R. M. Murphy, Division of Extern
sion, University of Tennessee)
The wonderful prospects for the
greatest corn crop in years in the state
have been somewhat shaken by the
storms Of the past few weeks. Many
fields are now blown fat, or twisted
and entangled until much of the corn
VIII be lost. Lucky is the man who
has had foresight enough to build
silo With the unusual growth of the
corn cropthis year, due to the excellent
season, there is forage enough in the
fields to winter ten times as many
cattle as we have ever kept on the
average farm, were it preserved in
the silo.
An investment in the price of silo
is the greatest insurance policy a
farmer can hold against drought and
storms. Only last year the corn crop
in many instances was complete
failure, due to the severe drought. Mr..
Will Parrish, Terrell, Tenn, had $50
acres of corn. He had two siios, each
with capacity of 125 tons His corn
did not make any ears at all. He put
40 acres OF 1t in the two silos. Twenty
acres would have filed them ordinar-
fly. The remaining 140 acres he left
standing because 1t had no ears and
he had no way to save 1t. He fed the
silage to steers and they paid him Sc
per ton for it, or $50 per acre. He re-
ceived s36 per acre for the 40 acres,
and the lao acres were total loss.
Put up cheap silo and save some of
this loss.
