Where there are three or four stalks

that will have an ear that will mature.
Cut the others out and give to the
COWS now while they are green and
juicy as they are twice the value they
will be two or three weeks later when
they are yellow and dry. And too the
remaining stalk will have room to ma
ture the ear, also not dividing moisture
and fertility. with earless stalks. All
hills that will not have ears should now
be cut and fed while green. There are
some stalks large and thrifty growing
six feet high that will never have an
ear. Cut them too for the cow. For
some reason there are always such
stalks A pruned corn field and a
pruned orchard are much the same.
