Profitable Feed
for Farm Stock
Secretary Pugsley Sees Way
for Two Glasses of Farm
ers to Help Each Other.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Distress calls have been coming to
the United Stntes Department of Agri-
culture from two large classes of
farmers-from the wheat growers, who
find their market extremely bad. and
from live stock feeders in the corn
belt proper who have used up the corn
in their own neighbOrhoOds and are
finding difficulty getting it at a rea-
sonable price from outside. In view
of these facts says acting Secretary of
Agriculture G. w. Pugsley, these two
classes may find 1t possible to assist
each other. He calls attention to the
fact that wheat is a good e for
live stock and that when certain ra-
tics exist between the prices of corn
and wheat the latter can be fed with
as good results as are obtained by feed
ing corn If proper methods are fol
lowed.
Supply Of Corn Low
The visible supply of corn on the
first of July Of this year was extreme

than ten years, and compared with the
same time in 1922 the supply is very
short indeed. Department figures show
that on July first the visible supply of
corn was 3,167 600 bushels, compared
with 29.337,00 o last year. The average
visible supply on that date from 1915
to 1921, inclusive, was S,500,0O0
hnSbnIS and for tho narinI from ION
to 1914 was just about S,00O,0OO
bushels.
There is a possibility that In many
places wheat may now be fed TO stock.
particularly the lower grades which
have about the same farm feeding
value as the better grades. However,
1t should be remembered that more
labor is necessary in feeding wheat
than in feeding corr because of the adj
visibility Of grinding or crushing 1t.
The bureau of animal industry has
studied the relative values of wheat
and corr and the methods of feeding
wheat to the different domestic ami
mails. Price ratios have beer deter
mined SO the farmer may make up his

relation Of prices of these two grains
makes 1t comparatively profitable to
feed wheat to stock. Thus. for example,
1t is figured that when corn is 10 cents
a bushel on the farm. so cen wheat
can be fed p-ofitably to all animals
including poultry; "a cent wheat to
cattle and hogs but not for sheep and
poultry; while 90 cent wheat is
profitable for beef cattle only. How
ever, 1t must be kept in mind that the
cost of grinding or crushing has not
been considered. A table showing the
relative prices at which wheat can he
used as feed has been prepared cover

these grains are likely to sell in the
near future. 1t is as follows:
