findings and experience of growers
in feeding wheat to hogs, catte and
lambs. As wheat is the chief surplus
crop in Oregon and is now available
at below parity prices for feed pur
poses, its greater use for feed serves
a double purpose, Lindgren points
out.
"Oregon products annually 75,
000 feeder cattle, most of which
are sent to other states to be fat
tened. Forty per cent of the lambs
produced in the state are sold as
feeders. The Pacifc coast produces
only half the pork products nor
mally consumed in this area. At
this time there is opportunity to aid
the war effort by converting a sur
plus crop into meat, wool, fats, and
essential livesock products," the
author states.
The bulletin contains a tabulation
of costs and probable returns in
feeding cattle and lambs at cur
rent prices of grain, hay, and fin
ished livestock. Both catte and
lambs will show reasonable returns
above feed costs at present prices
on the basis of establshed ratios of
feed requirements per hundred
pounds of gain.
Both this bulletin and earlier,
more detailed publications on feed
ing wheat to livestock may be had
free.

Lexington News Making Meat Out
Of Wheat Pays
Whenever 100 pounds of pork live
weight sell on the farm for the
same as the cost of 625 pounds of
grain, the hog raiser will be paid
for his feed, interest, taxes, labor
and other expenses, says H. A.
Lindgren, extension animal hus
bandman, in a new OSC extension
bulletin entitled "Cbnve r t i n g
Wheat to Meat."
This fall, said Lindgren. with
ground wheat at $35 per ton, hogs
would need to sell for 11 cents a
pound on the farm to pay for all
the costs mentioned. As a matter
of fact, they have ranked from 13
to 14 cents, thus allowing a safe
margin. Under such conditions hogs
can be fattened profitably on wheat,
and the operator will also be con
tributing to the strengthening of
the food chain that leads to vie
tory.

brief and direct form a considera
