5AVY COMBINED STRAW

WERS HAY YIELDS

LAFAYETTE-,- Ind. Last year's

avy combined straw and stub-

e left undisturbed seriously inred clover and timothy stands

1 many Indiana farms and in

brdue University Agronomy De-

rtment trials this year. The hay

eld in Purdue tests where the

tabble was clipped and all

owth removed soon after harv-

t was over twice as much this

ar as the hay yield including

raw and weeds, where nothing

Ld been done with the straw, there . either the stubble was

ipped and the mass of straw alwed to fall to the ground or here it was run over with the

iltipacker without clipping the

py. yields were about fifty per-

nt greater than from fields in

Vhich the straw was undisturbed.

These results are in line with

servations made in previous

ars and with Ohio Experiment

ation trials over a period of

;ars. The practice of clipping the ubble where clover and alfalfa ive been seeded not only re-

oves the mat of straw that is

ually somewhat bunched and :ld up by the grain stubble, but

so stops annual weeds that of-

En make strong competition for lie- legume and grass seeding.

over under heavy straw is also jneficial to the stand.

When less straw is needed, re-

iiovil of the heavy 'combined

paw without clipping helps to pake a more uniform legume

Rand by removing bunchy straw jhasses. Where no straw is needed

rass stands are improved by

lose clipping soon after com-

ining. Close clipping is not in

jurious to red clover and alfalfa

s new growth comes from the

rown. The growing forage plants

which come up through the mat

f straw shade the straw, helping

o keep it moist. This makes the

traw rot more "quickly so that ittle of it is left by the follow-

ng June to be picked up in the

pay.

Clipping of young sweet clover

lis not advised. Rolling down the

tan stubble and straw masses

with a cultipacker or limited pasturing to break up and tramDle

down the heavy straw masses is

recommended.

However, Miss Stoll stated, there is no indication that the use of these agricultural yWproducts will reduce manufacturing costs in the future.
