88 FARMING ON FACTORY LINES 



The subsequent treatment of a summer or autumn - 

 sown corn crop is all-important. The writer's 

 experiments have clearly proved that when a 

 sufficiency of moisture is available in districts of, say, 

 over a 33-inch rainfall, and when the land is in a 

 good state of fertility, any variety of cereals can be 

 cut green before the grain has shot, and will' grow 

 again and ripen as a corn crop. It is, how T ever, only 

 recommended, until the results of further experiments 

 are available, that farmers should cut the rye crop 

 for soiling purposes, and that the other crops should 

 be grazed — the early-sown in autumn and the late- 

 sown in spring only.
