RICE BRAN RATION
DRESS HOGS SOFT
Texas Experiment Attracts
Attention of Chicago Pack
erS Looking for Meat.

CHICAGO, May 4.-That a rice
bran ration will cause hogs to dress
soft, thereby lowering their quail
ity and their market value. has just
been proved by tests conducted at
the Texas agricultural experiment
station. The conclusion Of the
Texas experts settles n question Of
long standing between the farmers
of certain southern districts and the
packers who have been buying their
hogs.
DIR. r. ]. H. DeLoach. expert on
agricultural research and education
for Chicago packer visited Texas
recently for the purpose Of investi-
eating the soft meat question. Upon
consultation with farmers and the
authorities at the Texas experiment
station, he found that considerable
attention had already been given to
this work and that the experiment
station had just made new discover
les of the causes of soft meat. DR..
De Loach says:
The tests conducted by the Texas
experiment station authorities,
throw light on a subject that pre-
viously had been much in the dark.
For a long time farmers in certain
sections, especially i'm the peanut
growing districts. have sold their
hogs under an agreement that the
top prices would not be paid or
animals that dressed soft. When
the hogs did dress soft. the packers
suspected they had been fed on pea
nuts, but nine times out Of 10 the
farmers indignantly-and justly SO
as il now unprecedented il.
Their vigorous assertions that
they had not fed the hogs on feed

When dToughts cause corn on the

Fortunately only certain sections
are visited each year by spring and

in readiness suitable seed corn for

SOY BEAN EXPERIENCE

The experience Of a central Tln-
nois farmer, W. T. Stautz. emphs-
sizes the advantages Of soy beans,
says Up-to-Date Farming. Last sea-
son he planted 80 acres. The ground
was broken after the first OF June
and worked down 10 a very fine
seed bed. He finished drilling the
beans on June 10. After that the
only cultivation the beans had was
with the weeder. lie went over them
four times.
The beans were hit by an early
frost before they matured. so they
were cut the next day. They were
raked and punched and let cure for
five days. which was not sufficient.
They were then stacked and when
the stack was opened about six
weeks later there was some disap-
pointment 10 find they had turned
black and had the odor Of silage
He did not think the cattle would
eat them. but they relished them
very much. These cattle were given
about p pounds of silage and 10
pounds OF SOY bean silage per head
daily and kept in thrifty condition
throughout the winter. Soy bean hay
fed with silage, I'm Mr. Stautz esti-
nation. is "a very economical rough
ness for cattle
One OF the reasons why SOY
beans are so much in favor with
those who have grown them Is that
they may be used 10 take the place
Of clover that is winter killed. When
YOU have SOY beans 10 fall back on.
you have another chance 10 carry
out your plans or rotating a le-
gume with the grain crops.

Information for Farmers and Orchardists

1t is not too late materially to in
crease our national food supply this
spring. if our farmers in the east
ern half Of the country will prompt
~ resort TO the use Of the cheapest
and quickest known agency for
speeding up national production Of
foodstuffs-namely, lime.
Prices Of most commercial fertil-
izers at present are high. Potash
is almost unobtainable. Only by
most scrupulous conservation Of
stable manure, and an increased use
of legumes as green manure. and of
ground rock phosphate can the
commercial fertilizer shortage be
met, even temporarily There re-
mains one thing, however. that may
be done to increase yields. which
costs 10 more now than il did be-
fore. 1t may safely be said. I be-
lieve, that if all sources of artificial
chemical fertilizers failed, our total
farm output in many sections could
not only be maintained, but even in
creased for a considera BILE length of
time simply by the application Of
lime to acreages that now are low
in yield OF lying fallow because they
are too sour TO grow profitable
crops. Lime can and should be put
on all sour land. BY a plentiful use
of lime we can. figuratively speak
ing. make our war Dread" of
stones.
Is Generally Available.
There is perhaps no considerable
section of the United States without
some local supply or limestone, mari
or oyster shells. Ground limestone
for direct application to the soil
costs delivered on the nearest sid
ing, from 81 a ton up, depending on
the length of the haul. If crushed
limestone is not available, burned
lime, either ground or hydrated for
agricultural use. or the ordinary
lime carried by all dealers in build
ing materials, may be used in emer-
gency. though lime in this form is
frequently more expensive. On the
other hand if burned or hydrated
lime is used the applications should
be less than one-half Of those of
ground limestone.
Thus there is available for almost
every farmer, at normal cost, in
spite of war conditions, a material
which, for the time being, may avail
TO increase our agricultural output
enormously. The initial returns
from the application of lime TO sour
land are sometimes remarkable. An
investment in limestone often pays
a dividend of 100 per cent or more
the first year if care is taken at the
same time to maintain the organic
content of the soil.
1t is the duty of American farm
ers. in this national crisis. 10 make
the most of this, our cheapest and
most easily available agency for
speeding up production. War or no
war, a carload of crushed limestone
where needed is always money IN
the farmers pocket at the end of
the crop year. And a carload OF
limestone. judiciOusly used by each
farmer whose land is too acid. Will
augment our supply of bread stuffs

after a rather tedious Investigation
and much questioning, some OF the
farmers admitted that they believed
rice bran was the cause Of the hogs
dressing soft.
Just at this time the Texas eX-
perts finished experiments which are
conclusive and which satisfy me
that rice bran is similar in effect TO
peanuts. The Texas authorities are
soon TO issue a bulletin 10 that ef-
feet.
IF the discovery lessons the num-
Der of hogs that dress soft, well and
good; but even il il does not, the
discovery will at least settle a point
that has caused much controversy
between the sellers and buyers Of
hogs"
