RYE-CORN.
Mr. Chas, Tarrant, Woodhill, Kaipara, wrote the Journal of Department of Agriculture:—lf rye-corn cut green —heads just in flower—will be suitable for chaff. It was put in green feed, but having a good bit left I have cut it with a binder and purpose chaffing it. Ono end of the paddock was mixed with oats ( about halj: oats ). Is this an advantage ? The other part was simply rye-corn."
The Director of Fields and Experimental Farm, replys in that Journal '•Tnat there is very little experience on rye-chaff. Very little rye is grown in this country. It is probable that this chaff is not so acceptable to stock
as that from oats. The stage at which it is being cut is the most desirable for chaffing.
