Agricultural Notes
Wheat and Rye Are Cheapest Hog
Feeds

u
At present prices, wheat and rye
are the cheapest hog feeds among
the five grains commonly grown in
Minnesota according to swine-feed-
ing trial recently completed at I'm
iversity Farm. The results of these
feeding tests were revealed at
Swine Feeders Day, Oct. II. Corn,
barley, oats, wheat and rye were
fed separately to five different lots
of pigs, and the results carefully
checked. There were 10 pigs in each
lot, and the feeding period was 60
days.
In addition to one of the above
grains each lot of pigs received pro-
tein supplements and minerals, the
entire ration being settled. With
the exception of corn, which was
shelled, all of the grains were fed
ground. The total costs of producing
100 pounds gain for the different
kinds of grain were as follows:
wheat, 1928; rye, 1851; barley, $7.O6
corn, STAT; and oats $768. The
prices charged per bushel for the
different grains were as follows:
shelled corn, 80 cents; barley, so;
durum wheat, 70; oats 35; and rye,
IS. For the ground grains grind
ing charge of 6 cents per hundred
weight was made.
Corn and durum wheat proved
about equal in daily rate of grain

Ventilators Equalize Barn

Temperatures
Agricultural engineers of the
University of Minnesota are chal-
longing Mark Twain's famous
statement that Everybody talks a
great deal about the weather, but
no one ever does anything about
it." H. B. White, c. L. Berggren
and L. w. Neubauer, members of
the farm buildings section at Uni
versity Farm, maintain that they
are actually doing something
about the weather" in their inves-
LEGATIONS on barn ventilation, which
are demonstrating that comfortable
housing conditions for farm ami
mails may be maintained even in
the most extreme weather.
During November, December and
January of the past winter, studies
were made of temperature and hui
Nudity in two barns of similar
construction, one of which was
equipped with gravity ventilating
system and the other with an cleo
trio fan system. It was found
that both systems maintained good
conditions inside the barns
throughout the test. The electric
fan system, however, was more eco
nomical from the standpoint of in
stallation cost, and also gave some
what better ventilation.
The data secured on these two
barns during the coolest week of
the period are interesting. Out
side temperatures in the locality of
barn A, the one having electric fan
ventilation, ranged Al degrees, or
from % degrees above to "a below.
During this time the temperature
inside the barn varied only 9 de-
grees from 81 degrees down to 4S
degrees. Humidity varied from 76
per cent down to 81 per cent, a
range of 10 points. For Barn B, the
outside temperature f1uctuated 49
points from % degrees to rs be-
low

produced on. the pigs and in pounds
Of gain. The pigs receiving corn ate
two and one-half times as much
protein supplement as the pigs re-
ceiving durum wheat. Because Of
the lower price per hundred pounds
for wheat than corn, and the small
er amount of protein supplement
eaten, the pigs fed durum wheat
made 100 pounds of gain at a cost
of 1924 less than the pigs fed she'll
ed corn.
The pigs fed ground barley gain
ed little more slowly, ate more
grain per day, and required 46 per
cent more grain per 100 pounds
gain than the pigs fed shelled corn.
The pigs fed ground oats gained
only 70 per cent as fast as those fed
shelled corn, took 40 per cent more
grain to make 100 pounds of gain,
and ate little more protein sup
plement. The pigs fed ground rye
just about duplicated the perfor-
nance of the pigs fed ground oats
except that they required a little
less grain and a little less protein
supplement for 100 pounds of gain.
It was the conclusion of the live
stock specialists that based on the
results secured in this trial, wheat
and rye at present prices can be
used to financial advantages as sub
stitutes for corn, oats and barley in
feeding hogs. They add a word of
caution in regard to feeding rye,
stating that pigs will not remain
thrifty when fed on rye alone for
more than so or 60 days.

10 per cent over the 739 who ex-
hibited last year.
Because Of the large increase in
the number Of animals and fowls
to be shown this year, it is expected
that the proceeds of the annual
auction sale, at which all entries
will be sold, will far exceed the
$4,000 total piled up last year. In
addition to buying representatives
from packing houses, railroads,
banks and other business and COM
mercial establishments of the Twin
Cities, many bidders will be present
this year from commercial clubs,
kiwanis and Rotary clubs and 9TH
er similar organizations through
out the state.

the Junior Show will be greatly en-
larged this year through the

lures. Besides this new feature,
the usual Monday night get-togeth-

Farm, to Market Roads Should
Include All the State Highways

system, trunk highways, state aid
roads and county aid roads.
The fairest method of taxation
for road construction Is the gaso-
line tax. The gasoline tax places
the cost of road building on the
man who uses the roads. Under
the present law it applies to all
classes of roads and all who pay
the tax receive direct benefits. To
increase the tax means to increase
the cost to the motorist buying gas
oline. But the increase in tax is
more than offset by his saving per
mile in travelling over good roads.
The most expensive road is a poor
road.
For each additional cent the gas
oline tax is increased we can build
400 miles of county aid road a year.
With an increase of two cents in
the gasoline tax we can cut one full
year from our construction pro-
gram. An increase of one cent in
the gasoline tax would give each
county one-third more money than
it now receives for use on the
county aid roads. A two cent in
crease would give each county two
thirds more than it now receives
and very nearly reduce the con-
struction period of county aid
roads by half. It would hasten the
time when gasoline taxes would
take the place of land taxes for
road construction and relieve farms
of some of the burdensome taxa
ton they now have.
Not only would an increase in the
gasoline tax be beneficial to the
township roads, but it would be of
immeasurable benefit to the trunk
highway system.
It is our program to build all
the roads of Minnesota into a COM
plete system beginning at the farm
and ending at the terminal mar
ket.
The Commercial West in re-
cent editorial on "The Friendly
Gas Tax" said, I'm Idaho the gas
tax was increased from four to five
cents, but nevertheless the sale of
gasoline in that state was nearly
five million gallons greater during
the first five months of 1880 than
in the same period in 1929"
If the gasoline tax were five
cents a gallon, in travelling $500
miles a year the average motorist
would pay a gasoline tax Of $500.
When we consider the additional
amount of paving and graveled
road that would be placed at the
disposal Of the average motorist if
the tax were increased to five cents,
we realize that motorists saving on
gasoline and tires alone would more
than pay for the additional tax.
This takes no account of added
comfort and convenience that
would be his with improved trunk
highways and improved county aid
roads.
Our slogan Farm to Market
Roads" takes into account all
classes Of roads and is of interest
to every citizen of Minnesota who
is interested in welding this great
state into one great community,
occupying the place among the
states to which our resources en-
title us.

Marketing Livestock BY Truck In
creasing

Cfc8SIng
Livestock arriving at the South
st. Paul market by truck in 1929
amounted to 1877 per cent of all an
imals received, according to sur
vey made by the division of farm
management and agriculture eco
nomics at University Farm. Last
year 125,637 cattle, 181, ISL calves,
48s,643 hogs and 113,082 sheep were
shipped by truck to South st. Paul.
The tremendous increase in truck
ing that has taken place may be
seen by comparing last years ship
ments by truck with those for 1925
when GA per cent were trucked in,
and with those for 1920 when only
ID per cent were sent by truck.
Previous to 1925, practically half
of the livestock arriving by truck
came from farms within radius
Of 40 miles. However, with the i'm
provement in roads and in the
trucks used, this area has widened
and many loads now come from
distances up to 100 miles. Nintey-
four per cent of all truck loads
arriving in 1929 came from within
a radius of Is miles.
The University Farm economists
are studing this situation with a
view to determine whether farmers
can ship to greater advantage by
truck or by rail. At present, they
say it is impossible to draw specific
conclusions. However, the prelimin-
ary analysis indicates that produc-
ers living within 35 miles of the
South st. Paul market will find it
advantageouS to ship by truck.
Outside of this area much depends
upon local conditions.
While truck rates from given
shipping points are higher than.
rail rates, truck and rail rates are
not strictly comparable because the
former are from the farm to the
market, while when shipping by
rail the farmer must assume the
additional cost of transporting live
stock from farm to the shipping
point. Shipping by truck also elm
mates some of the local expense OF
the shipping association or local
buyer. On the other hand, the term
inal market charges of yardage and
commission are higher for trucked
in livestock. The economists also
point out that livestock arriving by
truck are usually not fed at the
terminal market, while on rail
shipments there is the additional
cost of feeding. The rates of insur-
ance against losses in transit are
slightly lower for truck shipments
than for rail shipments on distanc-
es up to 100 miles.
