Tho reasons for growing or making
an attempt to grow this forage crop
wherover llvo stock aro kept in any
numbers aro numerous and cogont A
fow of them follow!
As a plunt capnblo of yielding a large
amount of valunblo forage under a
great variety of soil nnd climatic con.
dltlons corn .Is without nn equal.
Whon ' properly preserved, whethor
as eusllngo or dried, it can bo used an
material to render other less palatable
roughago moro acceptable to farm animals.
Vnen properly grown, and well pre
served ns erislln'ge'lt Is the equal of or
superior to roots in feeding value nnd
palatnblllty. It can, however, gener
ally speaking, be more cheaply grown
and moro easily preserved than roots.
Tho labor of growing nn acre of corn
Is of a character much moro agreeable
to perform and much less arduous than
that of growing an acre of roots of any
description.
Corn, being a cultivated or hoed cror.
serves well to clean the land that Is,
rreo it from weeds, so fitting it for
grain growing nnd putting it into
shape to seed down to grass or hay.
Corn Is n gross feeder nnd may be
depended upon to make good use of n
never so abundant supply of plant
food. It Is for this reason particularly
well adapted to occupy that placo In
tho rotation where humifying vegeta
ble matter and a fairly liberal supplj
of barnyard manure unite to supply
largo quantities of plant food suitable
for root, leaf and stem growth rather
tban for seed production.
The growing of corn on a fair pro
portion of the arable land on the farm
will permit of keeping moro cattle and
bo Increase tbe revenue as well ns nug
meut tho manure supply so essential
to tno maintenance of soil fertility.
Corn when preserved as ensilage can
bo stored much more cheaply in much
less space than any other roughage.
in addition, stored In this way it will
keep indefinitely and is always ready
to feed.
