Feeding Corn To Hogs
Increases Market Price
"The most profitable method of
Marketing corn this year, and prob
ably for the next two years, is by
feeding it to hogs and then market
ing the hogs," W. W, Shay, swine
extension specialist of State college,
says, in speaking of the low price
of corn and the profit to be made
in hogs at the present time. "Feed
ing corn to hogs is the safest farm
investment and the surest way to
make a profit in farming this year."
If the corn is produced at a low
cost per bushel, Mr. Shay says that
it is always profitable to feed such
corn to hogs. Even, if the corn is
high in price per bushel or the yield
per acre is low, the feeding of corn
to hogs will increase its bushel value
"When the farmer has a big loss in
the cost of corn, due to low produc
tion per acre, this loss can be cut
down by feeding to hogs, but riot
always eliminated.
The person who cannot produce
at least 30 bushels of corn or more
to the acre had best stay out of the
hog raising business.
Self-feeder demonstrations in the
eastern part of the state this past
year showed that corn will increase
enormously in value if fed to hogs.
One demonstration showed a profit
of 485 per cent on corn by such
feeding, despite the death of one
hog during the demonstration. The
hogs, in this case, ate 209 bushels
of corn, which would have brought
SIBB.IO if sold as corn. After pay
ing all other charges, and deducting
the value .of the hog which died,
$19.75, the hogs still, paid a profit
of $285.94 for the corn and left
plant food wprth $49.35 on the farm,
whereas $31.35 worth of plant food
would have gone out with the corn,
had it been sold. The other two
demonstrations proved the same
thing. In the demonstrations, the
hogs were put on self-feears half
the time and then turned in on stand
ing corn, supplemented with fish
meal.
The raising of plenty of corn and
hogs will be a great boost for the
"Live-at-Home" movement, Mr. Shay
believes. He wants many hog feed
ing demonstrations this year, with
accurate records kept.
