GOOD CROPS FOR
PRODUCING PORK
Industry in Irrigation Country
Subject to Periods of Expan
sion and Depression.
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE NOTED
Department of Agriculture Hat Deen
Making Observations In Its Weit.
ern Projects on Utilization
of Field Crops.
(Prepared by tlio United. States Deport
merit of Agriculture.)
"Gum shoo" farming for limn nnd
bacon production does not presuppose
web-footed hogs. It merely means
that lrrlgntlon as practiced by some
western farmers Involves cotiservntlvo
use of moisture for production of for
ngo crops which may bo harvested di
rectly In tho fields by tho porkers. Tho
swine Industry In tlio rubber-boot coun
try 1ms been subject to periods of ex
pansion nnd depression. One cnuso Is
lack of .knowledge as to the possibility
of using certain Irrigated Held crops,
nnd ns to the value of these crops when
measured In tcrmi of pork production.
If full advantage is taken of the wldo
rnngo of feeds nvullnhlo to awlno grow
ere on Irrigated lands, pork production
can be conducted more extensively, and
witli moro assurance of success.
lrrlgntlon fanners Interested In pork
production Imvu bad to rely on results
obtained In nonlrrlgated sections, nnd
applied to localities where web-footed
crops grow. This' lack of detlnlto In
formation was especially noteworthy
In the cuso of field crops, which In
other sections of tlio country nre pas
tured by hogs or hogged off. Hence,
slnco 1012 tho department has been
making observations in Its western Ir
rigation projects on tho utilization of
Irrigated Held crops as hog pasture.
Theso Investigations Include pnsturo
tests with 140 lots consisting of 3,705
hogs pastured on alfalfa, sweet clover,
Held pens, and mlln.
Alfalfa Needs Supplementary Ration.
Pasturing alfalfa with hogs has been
demonstrated n satisfactory method of
utilizing tho forage, nnd one of the
cheapest wnys to produce pork. How
ever, to obtain satisfactory results,
the alfalfa pasture must be supple
mented with scime carbonaceous feed,
such ns n 2 per cent ration of corn,
bnrley, mllo, wheat, or shorts. Under
such conditions one good acre of good
alfalfa pasture will produce, with ren
sonublo surety, about 2.500 pounds of
pork n season. Exceptional gains, as
high ns 4,292 pounds nn acre, wero
reported In the enso of ono lot of hogs
pastured on alfalfa, and given n 3 per
cent supplementary ration of corn.
Nnturnlly tho gains on alfalfa depend
on tlio slzo and quantity nnd quality
of tho supplementary feed. It Is poor
policy to try to make pork on alfalfa
pasturage alone without supplementary
feed.
Hogs on alfalfa pasture, supplement
ed with about a 2 per cent ration of
corn, bnrley, wheat shorts, or mllo, will
consume from 250 to 350 pounds of
grain for each hundredweight of gnln.
In general the grain requirement In
creases ns the hogs get Inrger. The
feeding values of corn, barley, shorts,
and mllo ns supplements to alfalfa pas
turrfgo aro ho nearly Identical that tho
choice among theso side dishes should
depend on prices, cultural adaptability,
nnd general economic conditions.
Where the grain Is to bo grown by
tlio swlno raiser, preforenco usually
Is given to corn, barley, and the grain
sorghums, depending upon the. adapt
ability of these crops to local condi
tions. An acre of good alfalfa pasturo
mipplemented with n 2 per cent ration
of grain will support 2,500 pounds of
Ibogs during the entire growing senson.

Tho carrying cnpaclty of nlfalfn pos
tures increases rapidly with greater
grain allowance, mul It varies some
what during tho growing Benson with
tho rati) of crop growth.
According to specialists of tho Unit
ed States department of ngrlcultiiro nn
ncro of good alfalfa pasture If sup
plemented with n 2 per cent ration of
com. or barley, will support six to
eight sows nnd CO to 70 sucking spring
pigs for nhout 00 days in early summer,
during which tho pigs should gain from
23 to 30 pounds apiece.
Sweet Clover Often Valuable.
A few tests huvo been conducted to
try out the vnluo of sweet clovor os
hog pasture, and tho results hovo
proved that this crop cannot bo regard
ed ns n rival of alfalfa. However, on
soils which aro too wet or too salty
for alfalfa, tho Irrigation farmers find
sweet clover n valuable forago crop.
Hubber-boot formers aro coming to ap
preciate hogged-down corn and Held
pens as a desirable combination for
pork production, In that It saves labor,
produces satisfactory gains In the hogs,
nnd adds manure to the soli. Exten
sive tests of "hogging corn" reported
In the bulletin show gains of from IS.')
to 1,018 pounds an ncro of corn when
no supplementary feed was provided,
and from 333 to 1,377 pounds nn ncro
where tho corn was supplemented with
other feed. It is estimated that In
theso tests an average of about 450
pounds of corn was required to pro
duco 100 pounds of gain when no sup
plement was used, as compared with
an nvenifio of 400 pounds when tho
corn was not In combination with for

falfa pasture Is preferable as an ml

lands, because of Its cheapness, rein
