Experiments With Stable Manure At Marsland Station
At the Marsland agricultural station two sets of manure experiments lasting three and seven years favor fresh manure from the stable over rotten manure. Best results come from applying manure well before crop use and as a topdressing after plowing. Wintering manure on land and plowing in spring slightly improves outcomes. Deep plowing adds little value. Kainit enhances manure effects, especially in dry or wet seasons. Crimson clover grows better with fresh manure. Authorities describe an ideal corn ear as near cylindrical, about 10 inches long and 7 inches in circumference, with parallel grain rows and a wedge shape. cob color differs by corn type. High protein corn benefits from a large germ. dent varieties should have a smooth, glossy surface.
