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.
