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.
