Wilson, Minnesota Experi- % * ment Station.’ * < + LR R R R R B KRR R K ] Corn is cultivated to keep the soil in good condition, to save moisture and to destroy weeds. To get a good crop of cornm, it is essential that the plants have plenty of available plant food every day. Plant food is made available in our soils largely by the decomposition of vegetable matter. Decomposition of vegetable matter takes place only in the presence of heat, air and moisture. Cultivation of the soil checks the evaporation of moisture; consequently, corn roots will be closer to the surface than in a fleld that has been plowed deeply and that has been opened up to a considerable depth by the growth of clover, Consequently, one can culti- vate more deeply in a field that has been well prepared than in a field that hag been poorly prepared. i It is not usually necessary to culti- vate more than two inches deep to keep the soil in good conditlon. After the first one or two times, one can usually do better work and do it more safely by using some sort of a surface cultivator. Floats or knives can be purchased from most of the dealers to attach to any cultivator. 1t is not enough to cultivate simply when the corn gets weedy. When the soil is dry, one should cultivate to re- tain moisture by means of checking evaporation with the surface mulch. When the soil is wet, cultivation opens it up, aerates it and makes it warmer. It one does not cultivate deep enough to injure the roots, it is advisable, A two-row cultivator at work. With such a machine one man can do prac- tically twice as much work as he can with a one-row machine. has a tendency to make the soil warm- | er. Checking the evaporation also in- creases the supply of available moist- ure in the soil. Cultivation also stirs up the soil and allows the air to en- ter more freely. Consequently, in cul- tivating, one has a means by which he can largely control the available moisture in the soil. In this way the corn grower has the advantage of the grain grower; because the grain grow- er loses control of his crop as soon as it is seeded, while the corn grower can do many things to regulate the condition of his soil by means of culti- vation. Corn, like any other p’ant, gets its plant food from the soil entirely | through its roots. One should bear this in mind when cultivating, and ! avoid tearing off the roots as much as possible. This usually means rather shallow cultivation. If land has been poorly farmed and poorly plowed, the = CORN FOR SILAGE. Conserves Much of Its Food Value When Stored in a Silo. There is no other way by which a crop of corn can be handled that will conserve so much of its food value, as by storing it in the silo. Where one can afford the necessary buildings and equipment, as much corn as can be PP, be stored in this way. For silage, corn is usually sown in drills at the rate of about one-half bushel per acre. How- ever, many of the farmers, who have had long experience in handling corn in the silo, are reducing the amount of seed used per acre down to about one peck, and often the corn is plant- ed in the same manner as- for ears. For silage, one should use the varie- ties of corn that gives best results in the production of ear corn in the lo- cality, beceuse good silage is made only from corn that is practically ma- Storing corn in a silo. ture. The large varieties of corn, that do not mature, make silage that is too juicy, and consequently too sour, for best resuits in feeding. One can ordinarily expect about ten tons of silage per acre from a crop of corn. Cut corn for silage when the ears have become well glazed, or, in other words, at about the stage it would be cut if it were to be shocked for ear corn. The cost of silage can be greatly re- duced if several farmers own the ma- chinery together, and, under most con- ditions, it is desirable to co-operate in the filling of the silo. Considerable saving can also be made if several go together and buy the material, and have several silos made at once. A cow will use to good advantage, during the season, from three to four ——— e —— ey " | coch when possible, to cultivate even after the corn is tasselled. ' This, of course, must be done with a one-horse cultiva- tor. Lo R R R The most economical way of securing a permanent roadbed is through drainage. It solves much of the good roads prob- lem, in the opinion of the Min- nesota Kxperiment Station. B e e e o s e i LR R R e b Sowing Fodder Corn.

The more silage one can use, the cheaper it becomes per ton. It is usually not advisable to build a silo for a very small herd of cattle. In addition to saving all nutriment in the crop, by storing corn in the silo, one gets the benefit of the succu- lent food supply, which aids digestion and enables stock to make better use of the'dry feeds that they eat—A.

Lecturers Will Visit as Many Towns as Possible. Next winter the Farmers’ Institutes division of the Minnesota department of agriculture will hold good seed in- stitutes in as many towns in the state as their force of lecturers is able to visit and wherever the business men are willing to co-operate in the work. The object of these institutes is to furnish information and imstruction regarding the production and selection of good seéd. The Bxperiment Sta tion, having originated and developed a variety of corn that matures in Northern Minnesota ard produces good ylelds, also valuable varieties of || grain, leads to the belief that thef| knowledge obtained ‘in the developipg, J of these varieties should be given told the farmers throughout the state so that they may be able to breed thelr! own seed and properly select it. The principles involved are as applicable in one part of the state as in another.
