There are thousands of farmers in the United States who in the last few years have doubled the profit they used to make on their corn crop, by harvesting the whole plant - stalks, leaves, and all - yet there are tens of thousands of other farmers who still snap or husk their corn in the field letting the stalks and blades go largely to waste. It has been demonstrated beyond a doubt that when properly harvested corn fodder is 'as nutritious as good hay. The farmer who would receive the full value of his crop should secure this fodder with as-much care as he gives his hay, taking care that it is harvested at the proper period, and not allowed to have the nutrients it contains leached out by rains or injured by frost.
