TO STIMULATE INTEREST AMONG
FARMERS 0. W. R 3t N. WILL
GIVE PHIZES.
C L. Smith Declares That Corn Can
Be Grown Successfully In Northwest
(Portland Oregonian Sept 22)
To stimulate a greater interest in
the growing of corn and to demons
trate the possibilities and profitable
ness of corn growing in the country
tributary to its lines, the O. W. II. &
N. will distribute several hundred
dollars in cash prizes during the com
ing season, according to an announce
ment made yesterduy by C. L. Smith,
the company's agriculturalist.
Mr. Smith declares that field corn
can be grown Just as successfully in
the Northwest as in any other part of
the United States. He has traveled
over nearly every section of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho during the past
year and in every locality he found
some farmer who was growing corn
successfully.
"It Is a mintakn Idea that corn can
not be successfully grown through
out the Pacific Northwest," said Mr.
Smith. "The failures that I have not
ed usually have been due to poor seed
carelessness In the preparation of the
land or lack of proper cultivation. As
a feed for dairy cows to supplement
the short, dry pastures In July and
August, there Is nothing else quite
equal to green corn.
Corn Flno Food I'liuit.
"The corn plant produces the larg-
est measure of feed per area of land
and labor Involved of any plant, ex
cept alfalfa under irrigation. The
corn plant also utilizes a heavy appli
cation of barn yard manure more read
ily than any other plant. Presum
ably the farmer who makes livestock n
leading factor In his system of farm
ing will have an abundance of barn
yard manure to apply during the win
ter months to the land that is to be
planted to corn the following season
The plowing should be done as early
as the character of the land will per
mlt, and as deep as the weight of the
team will permit; harrowing and cul
tivating at Intervals of from five to
seven days until the middle or the last
of May, which will put the ground in
good tilth and destroy most, of the
weed seeds present. Nothing Is to be
gained by planting corn too early. The
ground should be warm enough so
that the corn would come up quickly
and grow rapidly without any check
The stunted corn plant like the stunt
ed pig will seldom make a profitable
growth. Prom October until Decem
ber the corn can be fed green direct
froifl the field. But the climate of this
section is not well adapted for the
handling of fodder corn.
"Experience has demonstrated that
the silo Is the only safe and eatlsfact
ory place to store fodder corn. The
best time to harvest fodder corn for
the silo Is lust as the kernel begins
to harden. The best variety of corn for
this purpose Is a medium dent corn
that will mature in about 80 days.
Home grown seed is always prefer
able to that brought from a distance.
The corn plant adapts itself to local
ties and conditions more readily than
any other plant. By proper care in
the selection of seed the yield and the
quality may be Improved from year to
year. Cultivate the corn every week
until it is tasselled. One acre of this
green corn will make from BOO to 700
pounds of pork.
Hog Industry Aided.
"A medium variety of the dent corn
should follow the flint for later feed
ing. By using the portable fence and
feeding a limited area at a time, the
pigs can harvest their own feed with
out any noticeable waste. Whether
the corn is cut up and fed in the pas
ture lot, or the hogs are allowed to
feed It down must be determined by
location, labor available, water and
fencing. Whichever way it is done
one will find the most rapid and profit
able gains are made from green corn.
Even when the hogs are running on
rich sttihhle fields, an evening feed of
green mm will pay an increased gain.

corn field will be a satisfactory and
profitable substitute for the summer
fallow. It would also check against
the general derangement of business
that always accompanies a failure or
even, partial loos of wheat crop. It Is
a well recognized fact that those lo
calities where diversified farming is
practiced are less subject to bad sea
sons and periodical spasms of bad
business than are those localities
where a single crop system of farm
ing prevails."
