CONSERVE THE CORN
ROUGHAGE

In q recent communication from
w. C. Coffey, regional director Of
drouth relief states, "By careful plan
ming and wise economy in the saving
and using Of roughage feed, it is
thought that Minnesota can provide
for the needs of all farmers within
the state for the coming winter. Hay
and straw are both extremely short
crops in the southern part of the
state Main reliance for roughage
must be placed upon corn and other
emergency crops planted in the late
summer. It is believed important
that all of these crops be saved in the
best possible manner for use within
the state"
Farmers who have surplus corn
are urged to cut and shock their corn
this year wherever they can econom-
ically do so and save the roughage in
the best possible condition for possi-
BILE use and sale later.
The State Relief organization, head
ed by Mr.. L. P. Zimmer and Mr.. E. F.
Mattson, State Office building, St.
Paul, are organizing their forces to
secure and handle sufficient supply
of roughage for all relief needs. Ar
angements have been made by them
to cut and bale hay in the northern
counties of the state for shipment to
the southern counties, to buy and
bale straw in the Red River Valley
for distribution to centers needing it
and to purchase and bale shredded
corn fodder in the southern part of
the state, also for distribution when
and where needed. Therefore, there is
a strong probability of market at
some price for practically all Of the
supplies saved.
However, no guarantee can be
given at this time that all shredded
corn fodder will be purchased. Funds
for the purchase are not at the pre-
sent in sight. 1t is believed, how
eve, that they will be provided either
through federal or state agencies. 1t
is the intention of the relief admin
istration to rent baling machines and
hire men for operating, moving from
place to place to bale hay, straw and
shredded fodder as supplies can be
found. Many farmers may supple
ment their income from their corn
crops this year by cutting and shred
ding the fodder and offering it fol
sale to the relief agencies.
Before corn is shredded to be bal.
ed, it would be we'll to let the corr
stand in shock and dry out well. In
this way no spoilage should occur in
the baled content.
