CHAPTER XXVII 



UTILIZATION OF THE BY-PRODUCT 

 FODDER 



WHEN the question is raised that very 

 little profit is obtained from raising 

 corn for the canneries, the canneries answer 

 that the fodder is of much value to the 

 grower, because he can use it for a great 

 many purposes, and therefore, it helps 

 with the profit. Also the canner is willing 

 to return husk and cob to the grower. The 

 corn fodder may be used for silage, and by 

 some growers is considered of great value 

 in this way. It may be dried and used 

 in the place of hay during the winter as feed 

 to cows. It may be dried and shredded. 

 The Delaware station gave a comparison 

 of the value of field corn fodder and sweet 

 corn fodder:
