POTATO AND CORN
PLANTING EXPERIENCES

George Van Der Loop was filing his
silo Monday when the farm editor
called and after using up his corn he
and ran through the cutter on top of
the corn. Later he put a foot of straw
on the top.
A stream of water was run into the
blower all the time during the cutting
process. George said that four acres of
corn only filled his SilO half way up
and his corn was poor this year as it
rained too hard after he got through
planting which lowered and weakened
his stand. Generally he fills his silo
to the top with three acres of corn.
The silo is 10X24
His potatoes are not as good as or
binary and he says he got his ground
ready to plant and cut his seed, planted
six rows which are fine then it rained
so he could not plant for five days.
when he planted the seed he had cut
before which were kept in bags Quite
a lot Of this seed failed to come up
and rOtted in the ground.
Mr. Van Der Loop is one of our best
farmers and we tell of his experience
for the reason that it may help some
neighbor.
Potatoes that are cut and cannot be
planted at once can be carried through
by spreading out on a floor Of any
Guiding that has air circulation, not
enough to freeze, and putting OH Il thin
layer of moist soil.
Much potato seed is lost or weak
cned every year by planting too deep,
;,Hd corn should never be planted only
deep enough to cover it, All fields
should be drained by blowing lands
close so there are many dead burrows
to let the water off quick
