Experimental Sta tiOn
Tests Show Wheat Cheap

PORKERS HEALTHY

An experiment recently complet-
ed at the Delaware Agricultural EX-
pertinent Station has shown wheat
to be an excellent hog feed, and that
at the present low market price of
wheat a greater return per bushel
may be realized by feeding wheat to
hogs than to sell it as a cash crop.
One lot of ten pigs fed ration Of
parts of wheat and l part of soy
beans made a return for the wheat
fed at the rate of $1.46 per bushel.
Coarsely grinding the wheat for
pigs did not improve it for feeding
purposes from the standpoint of
feed required to produce 100 pounds
of gain. The pigs appeared to rel
ish the whole wheat more than the
cOarsely ground wheat.
Under normal conditions wheat is
too high to feed to livestock, but
with the present low price prevail
ing for wheat it is more profitable
to market it through livestock. The
average price paid for wheat dur
ing the past season has been be-
tween rs to 80 cents per bushel.

emergency construction apprOpria-
tiOn bill passed by the House.

Wilmington harbOr. This amount is
allotted from the $22,O0O,OO0 emer-
gency fund for river and harbor
work, which will permit it's use dur
ing the winter and spring.
This will mean that Wilmington
harbor improvement will be speeded
up to that extent, making total funds
for new work and maintenance $780,

Lite Brown, Chief of Army Engi-
neers, filed with Congress on Decem-
ber 1, recommended 100000 for new
