Pastures for chickens are also profitable. A new State College Extension Service publication, en titled “Grazing Crops for Poultry,” points out that pastures have meant meant savings in feed bills of from 6 to 14 per cent, depending on the protein content of the ration fed and the feeding program fol lowed. The folder discusses range man agement, Ladino clover, alfalfa, lespedeza, soybeans, ryegrass and crimson clover as pastures for poultry and presents a readable chart giving the North Carolina areas where these plants and five grasses may be grown and the dates of growth.
