considerably more clover than in the 

 reed canary grass or tall fescue asso- 

 ciations. Counts also indicated that 

 there were more volunteer grasses in 

 the perennial rye plots than in any of 

 the others. 



These experiments conducted on 

 various farms in the State are help- 

 ing to increase the seeding of ladino 

 clover for pastures, particularly when 

 mixed with smooth brome grass. In 

 semi-permanent pastures it is often 

 desirable to include in the mixture a 

 perennial clover, either red or alsike, 

 to promote high production during 

 the first two years of the stand.

How Should Fertilizer be Applied 

 for Sweet Corn? On an experiment 

 conducted at Pittsfield, (N. H.), 

 four different ways of applying fer- 

 tilizer to sweet corn have been tried. 

 The amount of fertilizer used was 

 1200 pounds per acre. The method 

 of placing the fertilizer and the yield 

 of sweet corn are shown below. 



The results indicate that a divided 

 application is preferable to applying 



it either all in the plow sole or all 

 with the planter. For those who 

 wish to control weeds with 2,4-D, the 

 method of placing half of the fertil- 

 izer on the plow sole with the remain- 

 der applied with the planter offers an 

 alternative to side dressing part of 

 the fertilizer at the time of one of the 

 early cultivations.

What Varieties of Corn Should be 

 Planted for Grain or Silage? For 

 the past several years trials of both 

 silage and grain corn varieties have 

 been conducted at Durham, and also 

 on the McGoff farm in Lancaster and 

 the Jones Brothers' farm at Clare- 

 mont Junction. Under the auspices 

 of the Agricultural Extension Service, 

 silage corn variety trials were also 

 conducted in Coos, Sullivan, Belknap, 

 and Merrimack Counties. 



As a result of studies of corn var- 

 ieties during the past 13 years it has 

 been found that under New Hamp- 

 shire conditions the yields of silage 

 and grain corn according to type 

 are about as follows:
