RAPE FOR FALL GRAZING.

Clemson College. Aug. 2.-Farm-
ers who expect to raise fall litters OF
pigs should plan to sow rape for
grazing. II sown about September 1
II should be ready for grazing In
about SO days. Rape does best on
rich soils. From four to five pounds
OF seed will be required per acre.
Sowing in the drill usually gives the
best results especially II the land
is not very rich. The rows should be
from IS to 80 inches wide. 1t is al
ways best to plant a large enough
area so that the hogs can be put first
on one part and then on the other.
The Seorgia Experiment Station es-
Inmates the cost of growing an acre
OF rape at from $500 to $500 per
acre for seed. planting, care fertili-
zers, and rent of the land, while the
crop when used for hog grazing was
worth $4,000 to $500 per acre.
