Swine Feeding
Trails Favor
Pelleted. 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.

Complete Soil
Test Use Urged
For Top Results
The practice of taking soil
samples and using complete soil
tests was emphasized at a soils
and crops meeting at White
Horse Fire Hall Tuesday night
by County Agent Max M. 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

Rose Pig Starter Pellets sup

with essential growth nutri

and antibiotics.

Eliminate dead furrows .. • back ridges
• Fully tractor mounted, this new two-way two-furrow
moldboard plow is just the thing for convenient operation
effective, low-cost performance. Bottoms raise, reverse
and lower quickly and easily with Ford Tractors hydraulic
control system . . . and the plow is convenient to trans
port, maneuver and store. ~
By throwing all furrows the same direction you can
eliminate dead furrows and ridges for smoother irrigated
fields. Or you can throw all furrows uphill on hillsides to
slow water run-off and erosion. Also excellent for contour
and strip farming and for terrace maintenance.
