01 Soft
Pork Experiments
(P r«p ar»4 by th e U nited 8 t a t o D ep a rtm en t
o f A g ricu ltu re )
At a meeting held In Atlanta, Ga„
recently, representatives of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
of a number of state experiment sta
tions agreed to certain conclusions on
, the soft pork problem. Their an
nouncements made below are based
upon the evidence accumulated in re
cent years. Including additional data
made available during the past 12
months. The states represented at the
conference were Alabama. Arkansas,
Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia,
Pennsylvania and Indiana. In atld!-
! tlon there were men from the United
States Department of Agriculture, In
cluding those from the department's
Coastal Plain experiment station In
.Mississippi and Its Iberia live stock
experiment farm in Louisiana.
Effscts of Rica Bran.
The first results regarding the effects
of rice bran on the softness of car
casses were Incorporated for thia year
for the first time.
Tbe conclusions agreed upon are aa
follows:
1. Peanuts grazed or self-fed In dry
lot with or without minerals to pigs
starting at weights ranging from 85
to 115 pounds and making gains of ap
proximately 40 pounds or more on that
feed through a period of approximately
eight weeks will not produce firm car
enases at the usual market weight of
2OO to 225 pounds attained by subse
quent feeding of corn with tankage
after the peanuts.
Results have shown. In fact, that
gain on corn with tankage up to ap
proximately 120 pounds, this maximum
being produced during a feeding period
of approximately ill weeks’ durutlon,
following gains of 40 pounds or more
on peunuts, usually will not produce
hard or medium hard hogs. As the
gain on peanuts increases the subse
quent gain on coru with tankage neces
sary to produce a certain degree of
Qrmness likewise Increases.
2. Soy beans grazed alone or with
minerals self-fed to pigs starting at 1
weights ranging from 85 to 100 pounds j
and making at leust a moderate rale
of guln through a period of from six
to eight weeks will not produce firm
carcasses lb the usual case even
though a subsequent gain in weight
has been made by the pigs on corn
with tankage double that previously
made on soy beans.
8. Soy beans grazed with a supple
mentary ration of 2(4 per cent of i
shelled corn with or without minerals
self-fed to pigs starting at weights 1
ranging from 85 to 115 pounds and
making gains of approximately 20 to
00 pounds through a period of from
six to eight weeks will not produce
firm carcasses In the usual case even
though a subsequent gain In weight
has been made by the pigs on corn
with tankage equal to that previously
made on the soy-bean 2% per cent corn
ration.

4. Roy beans graxed with a supple
mentary ration of 2S» per cent of
shelled corn with or without minerals
self-fed to pigs starting at weights of
115 pounds and over and making gains
of approximately 40 to 90 pounds
through a period of from six to eight
weeks will produce firm carcasses In
the usual esse provided a subsequent
gain In weight la made on corn with
tankage one and one-half times that
previously made on the soy bean 2*4

The shipping of the 1925 crop of
