Rye and Wheat Are Good
as Spring SOiling CrOp

For a spring soiling crop, fall-sown
rye and wheat are excellent and are
especially adaptable in the North
These can be followed with either bar
ley or oats for an early summer soil
ing crop in the North. Sudan grass
is, also, an excellent soiling crop for
this season, and in the South sorghums
and japanese cane in particular are
probably the best. Sorghums may be
cut at two to three feet, but much bet
ter yields are realized if they are al
lowed to head.
The big need for soiling crop is in
midsummer, however, when pastures
are dry. For short season crop at
this time, corn is the leader in the
corn belt. 1t is palatable, yields heav-
lily, and remains in good condition over
a long period of time.
