MIXED GRAIN GROWN FOR FODDERS. 



In many parts of the United States where it is difficult to grow cultivated 

 grasses, resort is had to a mixed grain crop for fodder. As an evidence of its value 

 for feeding purposes, I might add that hay made from oats and barley commands a 

 highei- tigute in the San Francisco mai-ket than clover hay. 



To ascertain what would be most suitable for this Province, eleven mixtures of 

 grain were tested on the farm, a portion being sown on oat stubble, the balance after 

 a root crop. 



A mixture of oats and peas gave the largest yield, closely followed by barley 

 and peas.
