Soybean Silage Economical Feed
For Breed Sows, Research Shows
Soybean silage, when properly
supplemented, is a satisfactory
and eonomical feed for biood
sows, according to experiments at
the Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion, the Pennsylvania State Uni
versity. At other research stations

duced good results when feed to
sows dunng the winter gestation

The results may have much
piacucal use, since many hog pro
ducers in Pennsylvania are also
dairy fanners who feed silage to
then cattle, reports J L. Gobble

Gobble on the studies are R. C

Gains of the silage-fed sows av

average feed cost per pig from the
control sows was $1 96 Average
feed cost for pigs produced by the
silage-fed sows was $1 29
Feeding somewhat more con
to the silage-fed sows probably
would have prevented the differ

el s believe Feeding the silage-fed
sows an additional pound of corn
per sow per day probably would
have made the pigs cost $1.62

The quarantine had been m et

intended to prevent spiead ol the
pest to uninfested areas by re

that coud carrjFegg masses, such
as nurseiy stock, logs and build

Revocation of the quarantine is
made possible by the sprajing
campaign carried on in the
spring of 1958 A trapping pro
gram this summer failed to locate
any living forms of the gpysy
moth in Pennsylvania, Henning
said
Dr Thomas L Guyton, direc
tor of the State Bureau of Plant
Industry, said, “We are happy
tohave the quarantine lifted It
has been a nuisance to the peo
pie living in the area—a neces
sary nuisance to be sure ”
Dr. Guyton points out that the
failure to find a single living
gypsy moth m the Common
wealth this summer, us.ng 14,000
traps manned by 50 men trained
to identify the moth, eateipillars
of the gypsy moth and egg mass
es, climaxes a campaign that
started m 1932.
“The gypsy moth was found to
be quite widespread between
Wilkes-Barre and Scanton during
1932,” he said. “At that time we
