Legumes Bulk Large In Maryland
Hay Crop.
A big increase in the production of
the so-called legume crops has been a
striking but little noted feature OF
Maryland agriculture during the past
ten years, it is pointed out by crop
specialists of the University of Mary
land.
Legume crops, which include the
clovers, alfalfa and such plants as
soybeans and cowpeas are grown prin-
cipallly for hay but can be used ad-
vantageously for pasture. Approx
mately $4,000 acres of farm land
were devoted last year to the produc-
ton of legume crops for hay and the
production was estimated at 242,00O
tons of hay.
The figures indicate that Maryland
farmers are depending upon legume
crops for almost half of their annual
hay requirements, it is pointed out,
and are profting accordingly in the
superior quality of forage available
for livestock feeding.
Livestock specialists have long ad-
vocated the increased use of legume
hay in feeding rations for most farm
animals. The legumes carry relative
ly large percentages of protein, one
of the most costly feeding elements
to supply and one of the most essen
tial for successful livestock produc-
ton.
Legume hays are particularly val
liable with corn, helping to balance
the protein deficiency in the latter
feed. The two together constitute the
basis of a well-balanced ration for
most classes of livestock. Other feeds
are, of course, sometimes necessary
