Grazing on Soybeans
Produces More Milk
A soybean crop on the dairy
farm of E. S. Wooten in Lenoir
county has increased the milk pro
duction of his 31-cow herd by 15
to 16 gallons a day.
Through the summer, the crop
will be worth $75 to $100 an acre,
he told C. M. Brickhouse, Lenoir
county farm agent of the State
college extension service.
The. soybean field is divided into
four plots. Wooten turns the cows
in to graze on one plot an hour
every morning for 11 or 12 days,
then he shifts them to another
plot.
By rotating the grazing periods
from one plot to another, he plans
to nave eacn plot grazed tour dif
ferent times this summer.
At the same time, the beans are
adding nitrogen to the soil, and
when plowed under in the fall they
will provide much organic matter.
The cows get their fill of beans
in about an hpur's grazing. If left
in the field longer than that, they
will tend to walk around, trampling
down the bean plants unnecessarily.
So after .an ' hour in the beans,
the cows are returned to the per
manent pasture where they can rest
in the shade and continue their
grazing later in the day. (
' Wooten made a test to determine
the value of soybeans as a dairy
feed, 'and found that the cows graz
ing the beans every morning con
sistently gave half a gallon or more
milk per day more than the cows
that didn't. . '
In a pasture demonstration,
Wooten found he got the biggest
yield of grass from plots where he
applied stalble manure and ground
limestone.

Grasses or Legumes
Make Good Ensilage
With molasses as a preservative,
any crop that will , make hay can
ie stored in a silo without any
appreciable loss pf feed value.
Corn silage contains substances
that act as a preservative, but le
gumes and grasses do not have
enough sugar to ferment properly,
said A. C. Kimrey, extension dairy
specialist at State college.
By adding molasses to legumes
and grasses, the material can be
kept in good condition, he pointed
out.
The crop can be cut at any stage
of maturity and in any kind of
weather, he pointed out. However,
greater feeding value is obtained
if the crop is cut as early in the
season as possible without injuring
the stand. Cereal crops should be
cut when the grain is in the milk
stage.
Start cutting early in the morn
ing. If the crop is wet with. dew
or rain, so much the better. The
crop should be put in the silo with
in a few hours after cutting. .
