HOP Sveet Corn May Be Used
III The Cropping Season On
Dairy And Livestock Farms

The rather general use of the
corn picker coupled with relatively
high price of field corn has caused
a shift in some acreage. This
mimeO is prepared to discuss some
OF the factors which the farmer
Z should consider in deciding wheth-
er sweet corn could be grown ad-
vantageously on his farm. One of
the chief advantages Of sweet corn
over field corn is the much earlier
date at which the sweet corn is re-
moved and the consequent earlier
date at which the subsequent crop
may be planted.
Places for sweet corn in the rOta-
tiOn:
Some of the places where the
sweet corn may be used in a rota-
tion to good advantage and where
field corn cannot be used too satis-
factOrily are as follows:
1. Preceding August Seedlings of
Hay or Pasture Mixtures. One of
the best times to seed hay or pas
ture in Maryland is from August
IS to September 1. It is impossible
p to establish such seedlings follow
ing a crop of field corn. Sweet
corn. however, especially early
. planted sweet corn. may be remOv-
ed and the land prepared in time
for successful establishment of the
: hay or pasture mixtures. On many
farms with comparatively large
fields. only part Of the field is
g needed for silage corn. The balance
of such a field may be planted to
b sweet corn. The entire field may
then be seeded to a uniform CROP
after the sweet corn and silage
corn have been removed.
2. Preceding a Seeding of Rye
+ Grass or a Small Grain for Tenn.
pOraty Pasture Many dairymer
can advantageOus1y use a field O
i rye grass or small grain seeded in
. August or early September as {
source Of fall pasture. Such seed
& ings can be made after sweet corr
I or after silage but are too late tt
be Of much value if made after Z
q field corn crop.
3. Preceding a Seeding of Small
Grain for Harvest. Since the ad
Il vent of the corn picker, it is Otter
difficult to get the ground cleared
in time for fall seeding of small
grain. Inclusion of some sweet corr
in the rotation permits seeding O
this acreage on time and leaves
less area to be prepared and seeded
in the short period left after fielC
corn has been harvested. Even late
planted sweet corn will be removed
in ample time to make a fall seed
ing Of small grain.
4. On Grassland Farms as s
Short Term Intervening Crop Be,
fore Re-establishing Hay or Pas
ture. 1t is often difficult to main.
tain land in continuous hay or tai
growing pasture mixtures. It is al

Fish Story

SYDNEY, Australia (P) -
They've been catching fish from
cars on the Sturt Highway, on the
border of New South Wales and
Victoria.
FlOOdwaters from the Murray
River a mile away have been
bringing fish up to the side of the
road. People have been able to
sit in their cars and catch fresh
water callop and redfin fish up to
21 pounds.
One family caught 100 in a week
end.
The fish have been hooked on
everything from bent pin to first
class fishing gear.
Milford chronicle., 1952-05-23

so difficult to re-establish such
mixtures without the use of some
intervening cultivated crop, Sweet
corn may be used as an ihterven-
ing crop which would occupy the
land and permit cultivation during
one summer and yet would be re-
moved in time to permit the re-
seeding of the area to the forage
mixture. Many such grassland
farms do not have a large supply
Of labor 1t might, therefore. often
be necessary for the Gamer to con-
tract to spray and harvest the
sweet corn. The farmer would gen.
orally be able, even with a moder-
ate supply of labor, to prepare the
field, plant and cultivate the crop
and then re-establish his forage
mixtures. In many instances the
sweet corn might carry a large pro-
portion of the expense of renOvat-
ing the pasture or hay crop.
5. In Rotations Including Can
ming Crops. Certain canning crops.
such as tomatoes, have a heavy re-
quirement for fertilizer. A high
proportion of the fertilizer applied
to the tomatoes may be returned to
the soil in the vines When such a
crop is followed with a small grain
the excessive amount Of nitrogen
can cause lodging. 1t is therefore
advantageous to follow tomatoes
with a cover crop and a crop of
sweet corn which will utilize the
residual nitrogen efficiently before
planting small grains.
Nutrients removed by sweet corn
Less total nutrients are remov-
ed by crop of sweet corn ears and
husks than are removed by a COM
! parable crop of ears of field corn
It is the belief of many farmers
that sweet corn stover has a def
initely beneficial effect to the sue
ceeding crop If plowing is done i'm
mediately after the sweet corn is
harvested. Many agricultural work
ers concur in this view. Undoubt-
edly. if the sweet corn stover car
be plOwed under Immediately after
picking while it is still in a succu.
lent state there will be quicker de.
composition of the stalks than will
be the case with field corn stalks
which are drier, or with sweet corr
stalks if they are allowed to be-
come dry before plOwing. This
quicker decomposition. will make
more nutrients, especially nitro.
gen. available to the succeeding
crop.
Summary:
There are several factors to bt
considered in deciding what crops
to use in the cropping system. Tn,
chief advantage of sweet corn Ovel
field corn is that it is a short sea.
son crop which may be removed
early in time to get a new crOI
started on the land at the most ad
vantageous seeding date.
