RAISING HOGS ON
IRRIGATED CROPS

That crops grown on irrigated land
can usually be most profitably market
ed by feeding them to hogs is indicat-
ed by recent experiments of the U. s.
department of agriculture, the results
of which are now published as Bulletin
No. 4ss. This publication, "Experi-
ments in the Disposal of Irrigated
Crops Through the Use Of Hogs"
points out that most of the irrigated
projects are so far from the large con-
suming centers that the cost of trans
portation makes the shipment of, hay
and grain almost prohibitive. In pro-
portion to the price that it brings, live
stock is less expensive to transport
than feedstuffs. For this reason and
because of the additional fact that ma
nure is left upon the farm to enr""
the soil, the production of livestock is
a most desirable industry for irrigated
farming.
Of the various branches of this in
dustry, hog raising is in one important
respect the most attractive. With a
comparatively small amount Of initial
capital farmer can get we'll started
in the hog business in short time.
The necessary buildings are compare
lively cheap and it takes less feed to
produce a pound of pork than any
other kind of meat raised on the farm.
The irrigation farmer who has grasped
the significance of these facts and who
wishes to enter the business needs in.
formation on the value of alfalfa as
hog pasture, the value of different
kinds and quantities of grain used to
supplement the alfalfa, and the prnc-
ticability of hogging down corn. 1t
was primarily to obtain data on these
points that the departments expert
ments were conducted. The results are
given in detail in the bulletin already
mentioned.
From these experiments it appears
that under conditions similar to those
which prevail on the North Platte r.
rigation project, where the work was
carried on, it isrmuch more profitable
to let hogs pasture alfalfa than to cut
the fields and sell the hay, and, Sec
ondly, that alfalfa pasture can be made
to yield much more profitable returns
in pork when two or three per cent
ration of grain is fed to hogs As sup
plement. On the North Platte irriga'
tion project $500 ton for alfalfa hay
in the stack is considered good price.
This figure was adopted by the investi-
gators in their experiments, and they
fixed the value Of corn at $107 hun
dred weight and of gains Of pork at 7
cents pound. The labor cost of
caring for the hogs was assumed to bs
the same as that of harvesting the hay
crop. .n-
On this basis it was found that the
net returns per acre ranged from $15.os
when the hogs had nothingg but alfalfa
to $16s.25 when they were fed in ad-
dition a three per cent ration of corn.
The rate of gain and the carrying ca
pacity of the pasture increased with
the quantity of grain fed. AS a sup
plement it was found that ground bar
ley was approximately as efficient,
pound for pound, as shelled corn.
By allowing the hogs to Craze the
alfalfa 1t was found that they returned

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. october 17.-Alternat-
 ing periods of strength and easiness
 featured the trading in cotton here to-
 dav. Influences were conflicting and
 market took no very decided trend, al
 though at one time prices were almost
 up to the highest levels on record. The
 close was at a net loss or to iS points.
 The main bullish influences were con tinued good spot accounts and poor crop reports The weekly returns from the government were accepted as con flrmation of more moderate bullish claims regarding the damage done by recent frosts Against the market was the tendency among bearish traders to try to bring about a downward re- action and the general realizing which at times came from holders of long accounts.
 Around the opening prices advanced 4 to 10 points. from which level they fell until they were 15 to IT points below yesterdays close. On the strong est buying of the session there was a recovery and an advance which took the most active months 19 to "A points over yesterdays finals Lowest prices were reached late in the day when the market fell to a net decine of 24 to 30 points.
 A feature of the day was a private crop estimate of 10,6S5,000 bales, not counting linters, which caused some buying.

 Traders said the east with the large quantity of corn futures were being in- dicated, one or two things, tired longs were getting out, or that traders in the main are disposed to sell on bulges.
 Selling of December oats by several of the largest professionals was said to be on the expectation that there may be an investigation by the government to see if there is a contracted holding and the reason for it. Bears expect that De- cember will lag unless there is a lifting of the embargo on shipments to the sea- board.
