years, he said, adding that the one

REDUCE FEED COSTS
AND CONSERVE GRAIN
WITH ROOGHAGE FEED
i Beef cattle producers having
! late fall pastures and a plentiful
supply of hay or other roughage
may reduce their feed costs and
further the Nation's food conser
vation campaign by feeding less
grain and more roughage to beef
cattle being fattened for market.
! Specialists of the U. S. Depart
| ment of Agriculture say that such
a practice may pay the feeder as
well or better than full feeding
on cor/i or other grain. In fact,
many stockmen have had to rely
largely on pastures and harvested \
forage in finishing cattle and other I
animals during recent years When '
feed shortages made such changes !
necessary.
In a recent feeding test to de- I
termine what savings could be
made in concentrated feeds, the 1
i
North Carolina Agricultural Ex- ,
periment Station, in cooperation j
with the U. S. Bureau of Animal '
Industry, fattened yearling steers
on varying quantities of lespedeza
hay and barley, with small al
lowances of protein supplements.
Decreases in the amount of barley j
fed, with increases in hay, result- |
ed in carcasses grading somewhat j
below choice, yet very satisfactory. |
Reducing the amount of barley to
two-thirds that fed to a group of
animals on full-grain ration ,
brought the best results in terms |
of savings of grain for grade of car- ;
cass produced. Such a *> limitation,
whether in dry lot or on pasture,
promises to: produce beef with a
high degree of efficiency and with
only a moderate sacrifice in grade. |

from his herds should go a long
way in improving Durocs in North (
