PROFITABLE
SOIL CULTURE
SECRET OF CORN GROWING.

Maintaining q Balance Between Hest,
Moisture and Fertility.
Prepared by United States department OF
agricultural
The secret of successful corn culture
Is to maintain proper balance Of
moisture, heat and fertility. These
three factors, together with the nature
Of the seed, determine yields in all
parts Of the country.
A change in the supply Of one may
make a change in another advisable.
Thus the moisture requirement varies
with the amount of heat available. In
addition to water and heat, soil fertil-
ity and seed also must be regarded
among the chief essentials. No one of
these can be said to be more important
than another. Where all are abundant
except one-as water, for example
this one becomes the limiting factor,
and methods of supplying it become
the important means of increasing the
yield.
Corn possesses characteristics which
appear to make it adapted to drought
conditions and, on the other hand, has
qualities which limit its possibilities as
crop for semiarid regions and call for
special adjustments. In producing q
given weight of feed or dry matter
corn uses less water than certain other
crops, as oats, clover and alfalfa. 1t
is deep rooted and can If necessary
draw water from depth of five or six
feet. In hot, dry weather the rolling
of the blades reduces the loss of water.
On the other hand, the heat require
ments and peculiar Towering habits of
this crop make it less adapted to semi
arid regions than other grain or forage
crops.
Corn makes it's entire growth during
the season of highest temperature,
growing best when the thermometer
registers 80 to 100 degrees f. 1t can
not grow in early spring or late fall,
and its growth is retarded during the
summer by cold nights or cool weather
1t needs its greatest supply of mois-
ture during the summer weeks when
droughts are most likely and when
rains are less effective because of
losses from evaporation. In other
words, the heat requirement of corn
prevents growth at times when mois-
ture conditions are likely to be most
favorable, while lack of moisture fire.
quently retards growth when heat con-
ditions are most favorable. The prob
lem, therefore, where heat is great and
moisture deficient is to store up mois-
ture, and where moisture is plentiful
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1917-03-09

two and one-half to three pounds of
corn silage or roots daily to each ami
NAL, in addition to hay. About Jan. 1
ewes receive a limited grain ration
varying from one-fourth to one-half
pound per day, depending on their con-
dition.
Ewes receiving grain ration before
Landing always produce more milk for
lambs. The grain mixture used at
State College farm consists of five
parts OF shelled corn. three parts of
oats, two parts of wheat bran and one
part of oilmeal.
After lambs are born the eve will
not consume as much roughage feed.
More grain is then necessary to give a
milk flow sufficient for the best growth
of the lamb. The grain mixture should
be increased, therefore, one-half pound
or more daily per eve, depending on
her condition and also upon the num-
Der of lambs she is raising.
Next to proper feeding. exercise is
considered the most important factor
in keeping ewes in good condition for
lambing Exercise lots should be well
drained to prevent sore feet. 1t is well
to allow ewes to range on pasture dur
ing the winter, since exercise gives
strength and enables them to produce
lambs with less effort and Of strong
er, more vigorous type.
