Cut Your Corn
ARKANSAS fanners had to go in debt last spring for millions of dollars
worth of hay. There can be enough corn fodder and patches of grass
cut now and later to save them from buying any hay next season. Cut your
corn fodder; cut the stalks close to the ground. Put in large shocks, 300 to
500 stalks in a shock. When the stalks become thoroughly dry, stack them
and top the stack with coarse grass, that wfll shed rain, or shred and bale the
dried stalks. Corn, oats and hay are high and will be high next spring. Corn
fodder can be used in place of all hay to feed work animals next spring and
summer.
Make haj' of the crab grass wherever you can. Mow the roadsides, ditch
banks and vacant places in the fields, where anything is growing on them that
will make hay.
Do not top or strip your corn. The feed you get will not pay for the labor,
and both these methods cut down, the yield of corn. Cut the stalks close to
the ground. The fodder will then furnish two-thirds as much feed value as
the ears. „
Men who own large plantations can afford to get com binders for cutting
their corn, and shredder huskers for shredding and husking it. They should
hale the shredded fodder and store it the same as baled hay. A Tennessee
farmer has done this for the last four years, and has fed the baled shredded
fodder to his work stock and sold his hay.
Shredded fodder must be removed from the field as soon as it becomes
fully dried. When left in the field through the fall, it rots down and makes
a small quantity of poor manure.
Where corn has been burned up by the drouth, let it stand as long as the
leaves stay on the stalks and the stalks stay green. No matter how badly j
the corn is injured, it will gain in feed value as long as the lower leaves do ;
not drop off. Cut it quickly as soon as the leaves show any signs of dropping.
