Corn Yield Reduced ( By Pulling Fortder Fodder pulling days are here the saddest of the 'year ''for the 'corn crop. Some experiment stations "have found, that the loss from pulling fod der amounts to from 7 to 9 bushels of corn per acre, or from 15 to 20 percent of the acre yield. , "The fact? about pulling fodder are these," says Prof.. C. B. Williams, head of the department of agronomy at State College. "An acre of corn that will produce about 20 bushels of shelled grain will yield about 240 pounds of cured fodder. One man on the average can strip 400 pounds of fodder per day. Two and one-half acres are required to yield a stack of fodder, and one stack of average size will contain about 300 bundles. A bundle usually weighs about two pounds. One man can tie, carry to stack, and build a stack . in about half of a day. In addition to time lost in this labor, he has reduced the grain-yield of his corn, and had much better have been harvesting ai hay crop grown for furnishing the needed roughage.', v Mr, Williams states that some ex periment stations report no loss of grain when the tops are cut, but when tops are cut and, the leaves stripped from the remainder of , the stalk, there is a loss of grain, the average of the tests conducted in many southern states show that a loss of at least two bushels of grain per acre isvhad.when leaves alone, are stripped from the plant. Aside from the decrease in the yield of 'grain, pulling fodder is a costly method of securing roughage for live stock. The food value of corn fodder is not as high as that of good legume hay, and more abundant yields of the hay may be secured when proper steps are taken to pro vide it. STARTS ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN IN FRANKLIN George C. Houston, state sales manager for the Kenton Baking Pow der Company, was recently in Frank lin for a few days considering the advisability .of 'advertising Snow King Baking Powder here. At the time of leaving he said, "Franklin has always been a fairly good town for us; I am now convinced that there are a great many people who would try Snow King Baking Powdef if we tell them some of its good points by means of advertising." Until very recently the company has not. done any advertising, al though they have been making and selling baking powder for over SO years. The sales ; have grown to a large figure only as people have told their friends about Snow King. There are today many ' whole communities in the South where nothing but Snow King Baking Powder is used. Although Snow King Baking Pow der is fully guaranteed to give satis faction or your money back, the com pany has decided to make a special introductory offer of a cake pan and a cook book free with the 25 cent size can of Snow King Balking Pow der. This is being featured in the Press. ... It is really important that anyone trying Snow King for the first time have a cook book on hand for the reason that Snow King has a great deal more leavening power, (ability to make dough rise) than is to be found in many other baking powders. For this reason, the first advertisement makes a special point of offering free a beautifully illustrated 44-page cook book which contains more than 300 baking recipes.
