CLEMSON COLLEGE, Oct. 15.— Thousands of dollars are spent ev ery year Tbr wheat by-products by South Carolina poultrymen when they could grow the wheat on their own farms and save this outlay of cash, says P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman, reminding poultrymen that October is the time to seed wheat. “Whole ground wheat can be used instead of wheat middlings in poul try mashes with just as good re sults,” Mr. Gooding states. “If laying mash is used consisting of two parts corn meal, two parts ground wheat, and one part meat scraps, it will take about 25 bushels of wheat to fed a flock of 100 lay ing hens, or one-fourth bushel per hen per year. By using these fig ures and estimating the yield, one can determine how many acres of wheat should be planted for the poultry flock.” It is true that wheat is not a sure crop, but Mr. Gooding believes that one is net any more sure of having the money available to purchase wheat shorts than he is that the crop will be a failure. Hence, he advises that the logical thing to do is to piant enough wheat so that a sufficient quantity will be har vested with a reasonable yield and avoid purchasing such from the mid-western farmer and paying an enormous amount of freight on it. Since wheat can be ground on any corn mill, once the grain is thrash ed the job of grinding it is not a problem. Wheat shorts usually sell for about $1.30 per one hundred pounds, or 1.3 cents per pound. This means that 78 cents per bushel is paid for the wheat, and with a yield of only 10 bushels per acre this will be a gross return of $7A0 per acre for the wheat.
