Broom Corn Baled in Storage House.


twisted or bury fiber, and those with
a large center stem are of poor quail
ity and should be separated from the
good brush. Grading can be done con-
veniently either when the brush is
being taken from the field, after 1t
is thrashed, or just before the baling
is done.
The practice of baling the crop with
out grading is q common source of loss
to the grower. Where good and poor
brush are mixed, the buyer will esti-
mate the percentage of poor brush a
little higher than appearances indicate,
in order to be on the safe side. The
price paid under such circumstances
usually is less than the total price the
good brush and poor brush would have
brought If baled separately. In most
cases the grower will be well repaid
for the time and labor devoted to grad
ing his brush and baling each grade
separately.
The brush should be taken up in
small armfuls and butted against a
board, so that all the butts are even.
with the butts set firmly against the
end of the baler. The butts Of one
armful are placed against one end and
those of the next armful against the
other end, continuing the process IN
til the baler is full. The bale is then
pressed into shape and the wires fas-
tened. If the bale is pressed tightly
and the wires properly adjusted, a
good square bale will result.
Baling should not be done until the
brush is dry enough to eliminate all
danger of it's holding in the bale. If
baling is delayed indefinitely after the
brush is dry, 1t should be bulked and
protected from the light or it will
bleach.
The bales shonld be stored in dry,
dark place for protection from the
weather and sunlight; otherwise the
outside will be weather stained or
hleached by the sun, and they will not
bring as high price as if kept In good
The brush can be marketed 70 best
advantage in carload lots, because of
the difference between freight rates in
full cars and smaller lots. The brush
runs about 6 bales to the ton and
from 10 to 70 tons to the carload. Com
munitv cooperation Is needed to obtain
the greatest success in growing broom
corn. This will make possible mar.
leting the crop in carload lots, with a
consequent saving in freight. The
manufacturers are most likely to send
an experienced buyer into such a com,
munity, and it is possible for a commu
nifty to grow a uniform grade Of brush
which will be recognized and sought
at a premium by the manufacturer.

If land that has been in grass for a
considerable time and is likely to con-
tain cutworn1s is to be planted to corn
the following spring, it should be
plowed in midsummer or early fall.
about the time the moths eggs are
laid or, better before the eggs are
laid. for then vegetation which is suit
able for the moths to lay their eggs
upon is removed. The earlier the pre-
ceding year grasSlands to be planted
to corn are plowed, the less will be
the probability that the cutworm
moths will have laid their eggs there
on, and the less, consequently, will be
the danger Of injury by cutworms the
following year.
Late fall and winter blowing of
grasslands, although not as effective
as early blowing, will destroy many of
the alternating cutworms, as well as
such other important corn pests as
white grubs, and should be practiced
when earlier blowing is impracticahle.
Insects Are DeVoured.
Pasturing hogs upon land supposed
to harbor cutworms is a beneficial
practice, as these animals root up and
devour insects Of many kinds, includ-
ing cutworms, in large numbers. Farm
poultry, allowed to follow the pillow,
is of great value.
When cutworms are found to be
abundant on corn land, the use of the
poisoned bait is recommended. In
fields known to be infested, the dis
tribution of this bait should be begun
as soon as the corn appears above the
ground, so that the cutwOrms may be
eliminated as quickly as possible and
the injured hills replanted promptly.
During the warmer spring months cut
worms do most Of their feeding at
night and burrOw into the soil to the
depth of an inch or two during the
day, so that the bait usually will be
more effective if applied during the
late afternoon and early evening
hours.
Frequently cutworms migrate TO cul-
tivated fields from adjoining grass
land, and in such cases the crops can
be protected by running a narrow
band of the poisoned bait around the
edge of the field or along the side
nearest the source of infestation.
Cutworm injury, which usually con-
sists in the cutting off of the plants
at or little below the surface of the
ground, almost invariably occurs in
the spring, beginning as soon as the
first plants sprout and continuing I'M
til late June or early July, by which
time the worms are full grown. The
worms feed at night and rest during

result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
