NEWHOUSE Optometrist and Jeweler RED CLOUD, - - - Nebraska Get The Most Out Of Your Damaged Corn Crop Tho continued drouth and warm weather has seriously damaged the corn crop iu many parts of the state, taccordlng to Prof. C. W. Pugsley, head of the HxtOnsion Department of the State University Under present con ditlons, much of the corn can be saved for feeding If proper attention is given and the corn Is not neglected. Reportf which have come to the In tension Department indicate that the damaged sections are iu every part of tlie state though the southern part Is more airecteil than other sections. Ueipiests havo been pouring in to I'ugsley, asking suggestions as to tlio best method of getting the most out of tlio corn crop. Realizing that tlie condition is gen eral, I'ugsley has requested tho Bureau of Publicity to co-operate with tlio In tension Department and tlie news papers of the state iu dis.'.einlnating news relative to the condition. "Ne braska Is not iill"ectod as much as other states" suys Professor Pugs ley. "However, that does not prevent us getting as much out of tlio corn crop as is possible, (iomiriilly speaking, Nebraska has brim fortunate in her crops this year, especially small grain. Hut the corn crop has been all'ected and now it is up to ns to get all wo can out of tho crop. Most of tho queries are "How is it I possible to got the most feed out of ' the corn crop?" Hy properly hand ' ling it is often easy to got from many ' Holds snulclcut feed to carry the stock on tlie farm through winter. I'ugsley suggests three wnys. One way is to lot the corn plant stand iu tlio Hold and tbon pasturing In tho winter. I'ugsley characterizes this as the poorest method as often times J much of tlie drled-up portions will blow away, little feeding value re maining. Another and better method Is to make fodder of the corn by cutting at the proper time. Iu tills way it is possible to save much feed from a Held which would otherwise yield very little. Many prefer to shred the corn, the claim being that this enhances the feeding value of the yield. Pro fessor Lee of the Department, says the best method is to put as much corn as I NUMBER 33 New Clock possible Into a 'silo. Prof. Lee is authotity for the statement that one half more cattle can be wintered on any field of corn if that corn is put In to a silo instead of being cut for fod der. "If you have a silo, by all means fill it," is the advice from the Extension Department. In this emergency, it is uot suggested that expensive silos be erected. However, Professor Chase of the University says a silo may be built for the purpose of saving injured corn by n small outlay of money. Chase states that a woodcu silo holding 80 tons, may be built for about 8120, and will last soveral years. Also that the same sized silo may be built in tlio ground at a cost of from $10 to J-j. Now is tlio time to get tlie most out of the corn d'op. Iu somo sections, now Is the time to put tlie corn iu silo or out it for fodder. In other sections, it can lie loft for sovoral weoks, unless weather conditions become very severe. As long as the corn is growing fairly well, it is bettor to leave it in tlio Held, but iu case hot, dry weather continues and the corn burns, it is bettor to cut it. for I'uitil. If a silo is to be built, no time is to bo lost. A bulletin on the value of fodder and silage for feeding nnrposos anil another on the method of building In expensive silos, havo beon prepared by tlio Intension Department. Hither or botli of thtso may bo had froo of cost by writ Ing either the Bureau of Publicity, Omaha, or the Hxtenston Uopuitmci.t, Mate Farm, Lincoln. Funnels are urged to save as much of tho crop as possible. Hither cut It for fodder or put It iu a silo. Do tho one you prefer.
