The oredential for the delegates will be a letter of appointment signed by ithe chairman of the local orrganiza tion.

GOOD CROPS FOR PRODUCING PORK Industry in Irrigation Country Subject to Periods of Expan sion and Depression. LACK OF KOWLEDGE NOTED Department of Agriculture Has Been Making Observations in Its West. ern Projects on Utilization of Field Crops. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) "Guni shoe" farming for ham and bacon production does not presuppose web-footed hogs. It merely means that irrigation as practiced by some western farmers involves conservative use of moisture for production of for age crops which may be harvested di rectly in the fields by the porkers. The swine industry in the rubber-boot coun try has been subject to periods of ex pansion and depression. One cause is lack of knowledge as to the possibility of using certain irrigated field crops, and as to the value of these crops when measured In terms of po-k production. If full advantage is taken of the wide range of feeds available to swine grow ers on irrigated lands, pork production can be conducted more extensively, and with more assurance of success. Irrigation farmers interested in pork production have had to rely on results obtained in nonirrigated sections, and applied to localities where web-footed crops grow. This lack of definite In formation was especially noteworthy In the case of field crops. which in other sections of the country are pas tured by hogs or hogged off. Hence. since 1912 the department has, been making observations in its western ir rigation projects on the utilization of Irrigated tield crops as hoir pasture. These investientions include pasture tests with 149 lots con-isting of 3.7115 hoas pasturol on alfalfa. swvt clover ihll1 peas. and mil. Alfalfa Needs Supp!ementary Ration. Past\1ring aifial fa with hlo ha- beien demnons't roted a sotisfacit ory meth 'd of utilizinu th1 fbrnZ.- and onle of the cheoapest ways to prnmr'.o pork. 114w ever. to oltain satl factory riesults. the alfalfa pasture must he suppit mented with some carbonaceous fted, such as a 2 per cent ration of orn, barley, nilo. wheat, or shorts. Under such conditions one good acre of good alfalfa pasture will produce, with rea sonable surety. about 2.500 pounds of pork a season. Exceptional gains, am high as 4,292 pounds an acre, were reported in the case of one lot of hogs pastured on alitefa, and gIvena3' 'Per cent supplementary ration of corn. Naturally the gains on alfalfa depend on the size and quantity and quality 01 the supplementary feed. It is poor policy to try to make pork on alfalfa pasturage alone without supplementary Eop on alfalfa pasture, supplement. ed with about a 2 per cent ration of M birfey, wheat shorts, or milo, will consume from 250 to 350 pounds of in for each hundredweight of gain. Wegeneral the grain requirement in cefeWees as the hogs get larger. The feeding values of corn, barley, shorts, and mile as supplements to alfalfa pas turage are so nearly identical that the choice among these side dishes shoult dependl on prices, cultural adaptability, and general economic conditions. Where the grain is to be grown by the swine raiser, preference usually is given to corn, barley. ad the grain sorghums. depending upon the adapt ability of these crops to local condi tions. An acre of good alfalfa pasture supplemented with a 2 per cent ration of grain will support 2,500 pounds of hogs during the entire growing season, TIhe carry-lng capacity of alfalfa pas tures increases rapidly with greater grain allowance, aind it varies some what during the growing season wit!! the rate of crop growth. According to specialists of tihe Unit ed States department of agriculture an acre of good alfalfa pasture, if sup plemented with a 2 per cent ration of corn, or barley, will support. six to eight sows and 50 to 70O sucking spring pigs for about 60 days in early summer, during which the pigs should gain from 25 to 30 pounds apiece. Sweet Clover Often Valuable, A few tests have been conducted to try out the value of sweet clover as hog pasture, and the results have proved that this crop cannot be regard ed as a rival .of alfalfa, However, on soils, which are too wet or too salty for alfalta, the irrigation farmers find sweet clover a valtuable forage erop. Robber-boot farmers are comning to ap precdate hogged-down corn and field pea# as a desirable combination for por* production, in that If~ saves Iab~r, prodpces satisfactory gains lnathe hogs, and 'adds manure to the Roll. Exten sive. tests of "hogging corn" reported in tbie bulletin show gains of from 183 to f48 pounds an acre of corn when no ~uppl ementary feed was provided, and from 335 to 1,377 pounds an acre where the corn was supplemented with other feed. ft is estimated that in these tests an average of about 450 pounds of corn was required to pro duce 100 pounds of gain when no sup plement was used, as compared with an average of 409 pounds when the corn was npt in combination with for age, late alfalfa pasture, or rape. Al falfa pasture ia preferable as an ad junct tn iogged-down corn on Irrigated lands, because of its cheapness, rela. tives abundance, and reliahlituy. JURORtS AE DRAWN.
