PouItrymen Plan Green Feed for
Entire Year


planning system whereby they will
have green feed for the entire year,
as a result of two-day poultry
school held this fall. The problem
was attached from the angle of guar
anteeing a supply of green feed for
each season of the year by the pro-
duction Of crops which can be relied
upon.
Careful analysis resulted in SEIZED
ule being worked out with lawn clip
| pings and rape from April l to July
| l.; alfalfa for most sections of the
country from June i to September 1;
kale from July l to December Is,
with yellow carrots, winter oats and
vetch from December Is to April l.
Overlapping of various crops is inten.
| tionally provided as safeguard
against the failure of any crop in a
given season. Specialists are not ad
vising an ironclad schedule, but that
this system be used as a basis for
planning the green feed problem.
