FARMERS UNITE TO
LOWER FEED COSTS

Wisconsin stOckmen are determined
to reduce their high feed bills. They
have found that whether or not they
make reasonable profits depends large
~ upon how much they raise of the
feed they need. They substitute for
high-priced cottonseed meal, gluten
and oilmeal feeds grown upon their
own farms.
A grow-your-own-feed campaign is
conducted in Wisconsin this fall, to
aid farmers in cutting down their high
mill feed bills.
The farmers will make the first step
In the program, that of increasing the
acreage of legumes, which furnish val
liable hay and which improve the fer
tility of the soil at the same time.
George Briggs, recently county agent
Of Burnett county and crop specialist
at the college of agriculture, is leading
the campaign. "NO successful animal
husbandryman, Orchardist, grain or
truck farmer can succeed without the
help Of some of the legume family"
declares Mr.. Briggs Besides their
value as hay and forage crops, they all
have that same good point-the power
to restore nitrogen to the soil. They
are valuable for feed and fertility. In
the family we find alfalfa, the clovers,
and the last to arrive in Wisconsin is
the soy bean. Get acquainted with this
great legume family"
