Such crops as rape, cowpeas, SOY

The Missouri Experiment Station

cents per pound, They found that
with pork at G cents per pound the
average return per bushel of corn
fed when fed to hogs grazing on
forage crops was st,lO. The average
per hushel OF corn fed in dry lot
was sc cents. Such figures ma these
emphasize the economy Of feeding
grain on forage. This Is especially
true with young hogs,

sowed alone II Is best dalled In
rows 2s to so inches apart at the
rate of four pounds per acre and

A good mixture is obtained by
sowing one bushel and one peck Of
oats, six pounds of clover. and four
pounds of Dwarf Essex Rape per
acre; or just rape and oats may be
sowed.
At the Missouri Experiment station
rape sowed May 80. which was late
