better than corn shipped in from
other states. Thirty pigs were bought
locally and divided into three similar
lots. One was fed on Wyoming nom
irrigated or dry-land corn, another on
Wyoming irrigated corn, and the third
on Nebraska corn. Tankage and al
falfa hay were also fed TO each group.

mentioned was 1872 pounds, 1918
pounds and 1910 pounds, respectively.

pounds, was charged against the lot
on local irrigated corn. This was 90
pounds more than was fed to the lot
on local dry-land corn and 107 pounds
more than was used by the third lot,
fed on Nebraska grown corn. In
