RAPE AS HOG RAISING CROI
Every South Carolina. Farmer A

farmer in South Carolina shot
have a small piece of land in ra
for his hogs, according to Clems
College authorities. When plant

best soiling crops for hogs and she*
The South Carolina experiment si

of forage from this plant and 20 to
is not an unusual yield. There s
fine possibilities in rape as a grazi
crop for hogs and it is stronj
recommended.
Dwarf Essex is the best variety
rape for South Carolina. It shot
be planted in August or Septembi
though it may also be planted
early spring.
Soil on which rape is plant
should be well supplied with vegei
ble matter. If it is not ncn soil,
should receive a heavy application
eood stable manure, which should
thoroughly worked into the surfa*
In addition to this the land shoe
have an application of acid ph<
phate and of potash, the fertilizati
depending largely upon the quali
of the soil. A top dressing of 75
100 pounds of nitrate of 6oda shoe
be given after it is well started.
Four to six pounds of seed shou
be sown to the acre, in drills V
feet apart. It may also be broa
casted. One good feature of rape
the low price of the seed. If so^
in the drill, it is wi6e to give one
more shallow cultivations to sa
moisture and destroy weed and gra
enemies.
Rape should be ready for grazii
about two months after sowing,
will furnish grazing for about thr
months.
This is only one of a large numb
of good grazing crops for hogs n
ommended by Clemson College. Ot

oats, rye and vetch, any of whi
