| CD The cowpea is much better
suited than the soy bean for planting
with either corn or sorghum.

leaves or fruit, than soy bean hay.
The soy bean, on the other hand, ap-
pears more valuable than the cowpea.

duce either hay or seed several weeks
ahead Of any variety of cowpeas
which had been tested at the station;
(D the seed decay more slowly than
those Of the cowpea when left on the
ground, so are better adapted to being
pastured off by hogs.
Rabbits feast upon the soy bean
while they will not bother the cowpea
at all. Therefore, the farmer who
plants soy beans should plant enough
Tor both himself and the rabbits.
In 1910 the soy bean crop used in
these tests was better than the aver
age crop of the state: both the stand
and the yield were excellent But in
1908 and in 1909 the crops were Just
about what the farmer could expect to
y
The beans were planted in the drill
and cultivated. Two hundred pounds
Of commercial fertilizer, consisting of
potash and 16 per cent acid phosphate
were used on each acre Approxf-
mately, one-half bushel of seed was
used to each acre: If the planting had
been made for hay crop more seed
would have been used. When all Of
the expenses Of making the crop were
taken into consideration 1t was learned
that each acre cost $500. The crop
can be produced for less than $500 an
acre upon the average farm Of the
state.
The southern, or Mammoth Yellow
variety, was used in all of the tests.
Some varieties, as the Hollybrook, will
mature earlier than the Mammoth yell
low, but will not make as large yields
as the southern variety.
Soy Bean Pasture Against Corn
Alone.-It is generally considered that
there is no other feed equal to corn
for pork production. That is true,
provided the corn is used judiciously
But, as the following tests illustrate,
when corn is fed alone for any length
of time there are few feeds which give
more unsatisfactory results. If, how
ever, corn is fed in combination with
commended, and It can be used to
great economic advantage, too, even
though 1t sells upon the market as
high as $1.00 per bushel. The growing
hog is not adapted to living on corn
alone, and when we require it of him
we are forcing him to do a thing which
Is not consistent with his nature. Man
likes a mixture Of feeds or a change in
diet: so do the lower animals.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1911-05-21

Several points must be taken into
consideration before It can be deter-
mined whether II Is better to feed tho
crop to hogs and sell the hogs or to-
make 1t into hay. The relative prices
of hogs and hay enter into the consid- 4
GRAFTON. If hogs were selling at Al
cents a pound and hay at $40 a toni
there is no question but that II would
be more profitable to make the crop
into hay. When hogs are selling at VA
cents a pound there is no doubt but
that the crop can be sold for a greaters
final profit through the hogs than aai
hay. In these tests each acre res
turned a value, in terms OF pork ofi
S28.23, $25.S4 and Sss.1S in Lots /, 2,
and 3, respectively. This is an aver
age return OF $S1.07 an acre when hogs
are valued at cents a pound.
Grazing a crop by hogs has several
advantages over trying to save IL as
hay. In the first place, the crop when
grazed is never lost on account OF
rains. The hogs gather II rain or.
shine. In the south q heavy prepor-f
ton Of the hay crops are either totally,
lost or badly damaged on account OF
unfavorable weather conditions. In the
second place, not as much labor and
machinery are required TO gather the
crop when 1t is grazed as when II 10
made into hay. When the fences are
good the labor involved in grazing a
crop is almost a negligible item. In
the third place. the soil is built up
very mach more rapidly under the
grazing than under the haying system.
When the crop is grazed practically
all OF the crop, root and top, are re-
turned to the soil; of course, some fer
tilising value is taken off in the body
Of the hogs. When the crop is re-
moved as hay only the roots and stub
bic are returned to the soil; the hay,

animals that were given one half
ration of corn. So it cannot be said
that the gains increased proportion
ately, with the increase in the amount
of corn used. AS far as the corn cost
is concerned it is seen that the ex-
pense to make 100 pounds of gain in
creased gradually as the amount of
corn was increased. But when the
cost of making the pasture was also
added to the gains it is further seen
that, while the cheapest gains were
made by the lot receiving the smallest
amount of corn, still there was not a
gradual decrease in the cost of gains
as the amount of grain was reduced:
1t cost more to make the gains on the
hogs in Lot 2 (one-half ration of CORN
than on the hogs in Lot (three-
fourths ration of corn). The authors
are unable to state why this should be-
1t seems clear that several points
must be taken into consideration be-

The farmer who has a good soil we'll
adapted to soy beans may expect to
get better grazing than was secured on
the station farm. In 1910 (the year
that an exceptionally good crop was
securely one acre of soy beans afford
ed grazing for the hogs IS, 81 and 50
days in Lots 1, 2, and 8, respectively.
The poorest results were secured in
1908, when in one case one acre af-
forded grazing for 10 hogs for only 35
days. But, on the average, soy bean
pasture has exceedingly satisfactory
carrying capacity. 1t is seen above
that one acre Of the pasture carried
pasture was supplemented by a fourth,
q half, and a three-fourths ration, re-
spectively, Of corn. In bulletin No. 14S
of this station are reported results
where one acre each of peanut, sor-
ghum, and chufa pastures carried 10
hogs for So, AZ, and 80 days, respec-
lively, where half ration OF corn was
fed along with the pastures.
During the first few weeks of the
grazing period the pigs ate no part of
the plant except the leaves; but when
supplemented with some corn good
gains were made. During the last few
weeks of the grazing period the ami
mails ate nothing except the beans
which had fallen from the plants; dur
ing this time excellent gains were
always realized.
Pounds Of Pork Made on Each Acre
of Soy Beans.-Some farmers claim
that 1t is not a profitable method to
dispose Of a pasture crop, as soy beans,
by grazing with hogs: it is often
claimed that the crop can be disposed
of in other ways. as making It into
hay. to better advantage. Some hold
TO the idea that great losses by
trampling and riding down the plants
are sustained when hogs are turned
into a hay crop. The question is, Can
the crop be sold probably through
hogs, or should 1t be made in a hay
and used, or sold. as a hay? The fol-
