Farmers depending on com

or livestock, may find them
selves in a serious situation, due
to the shortage or absence of
these protein feeds. There are

Sow immediately soybeans,
sudan grass, millet, and cane;
either separately or as a mix
ture for temporary 'grazing. The
seeding rate for a mixture
would be: Soy beans, two bush
els; sudan grass or millet, 30
pounds. When cane or sudan
| grass is used, care should be
| taken not to permit grazing
' after frost.
Another good practice will be
to seed a winter cereal hay mix
ture by the last of August, so
that early and better grazing
may be secured throughout the
winter, as well as an early
spring hay crop. This mixture
should consist of two bushels
barley, two bushels winter oats,
two bushels wheat, and 20
pounds of vetch.
Cull out and sell all cows and
hens that are not profitable.
Even if feed was plentiful, It is
costing too much to be fed to
poultry or livestock that are not
showing a profit.
In all probability, feed will
remain high for some time;
therefore, farmers should plan
now to grow the crops that will
replace, as far as possible, high
priced feeds. The crops that will
do this are good pasture, both
permanent and temporary, and
good hay.

terials for developing hay or
pasture. AAA will pay for seed
ing new pastures or improving
old pastures. What more could
be expected or asked?
Alfalfa has been proven suc
cessful in this county, with a
yield of three to four tons per
acre. Number one alfalfa hay
has as much protein as 16 per
cent dairy feed. Lespedeza and
soy bean hay runs 12 to 14 per
cent.
Why pay $75.00 per ton for
16 per cent dairy feed when you
can grow the same amount of
protein in one ton of alfalfa
hay for less than $15.00? Good
pasture or hay is worth more
per acre, year in and year out,
than any other crop that is
grown in Macon County.
