Rations The results of swine-feeding trials by the Montana Agricul tural Experiment Station show that the feeding of pelleted ra tions increases the daily gains of pigs, reduces the amount of feed required per 100 pounds of grain, and reduces the time to reach market weight In these trials the rations con sisted largely of small grains and their by products and were fed in both pelleted and meal form to different groups of pigs. In one experiment the pellet-fed pigs gained 12 pound more per day, consumed 53 pounds less feed per 100 pounds of gain, and reached market weight 12 days sooner than meal-fed pigs. cleaning demonstration meeting 9 a. m. at the farm of S.

Smith, Amos H. Funk, president ot fhc Lancaster County Soil District and W. Martin Muth, U. S Soil Conservation Service. Funk urged the 28 eastern county farmers attending to use the complete tests He cited as an example an .occasion when a crop on his farm showed a nu tritional deficiency.- The test showed that the crop needed not .lust one nutrient but a balance of fertilizer applied to make it grow properly. Max Smith said that organic matter and .phosphorus levels are low in Lancaster County soils. To build up organic matter, he sug gests longer rotations, erosion control, and the use -of more grasses in the crop rotation. Most of the natural nitrogen available to the corp is found in the-organic matter in the soil. The phosphorus level can be best determined and maintained by following the recommenda tions given as the result of a soil test Muth showed slides of various soil saving structures and results obtained with their use. Included were tillable terraces, diversion terraces, strips, tiles, and ditch es He said that .drainage of low places is just as important as soil and water conservation as con struction of soil saving terraces on rolling land He also recommends 'an inte grated progra mof wildlife con servation with certain phases of soil and water conservation work. Farmer sattendmg the meeting were given an opportunity to re quest assistance for individual problems on their farms with Early critical growth pe- - riods call for extra nutrients to build stronger litters. Red Rose Pig Starter Pellets sup plies this "early nutrition” with essential growth nutri ents, including Vitamin B t2 and antibiotics. Red Rose Pig Starter Pel lets and other Red Rose Pig Feeds are, scientifically com pounded to help overcome growth setbacks and runti ness . . . keep pigs well conditioned for vigorous, profitable weight gains. For more pork profits feed your pigs Red Rose. James A. Hess Named Relegate To National 4-H Conference - James A.
