Chufas in 2 tests averaged 307 pounds, worth |15.35. 



Cowpeas in 2 tests averaged 229 pounds, worth |11.45. 



Essex rape in 2 tests averaged 452 pounds, worth 

 $22.50. 



Sorghum in 2 tests averaged 174 pounds, worth $8.70. 



One acre of the best: of these crops (peanuts, rape, 

 and chufas) afforded pasturage for one month for at 

 least 25 100-pound shoats, when a half ration of grain 

 was fed. 



The average amounts of grain required to malie one 

 pound of growth on shoats, consuming also the crops be- 

 low, were as follows : 



1.77 pounds of grain with peanuts; 

 2.30 pounds of graim with chufas; 

 3.07 pounds of grain with cowpeas; 

 2.68 pounds of grain with rape; 

 3.70 pounds of grain with sorghum; 

 3.13 pounds of grain with sweet potatoes. 



Pigs grazing on sorghum, fully headed out, ate only 

 12 per cent less grain per pound of growth than those 

 supported entirely on com. 



Shoats fed on a mixture of corn meal and of 20 or 

 25 per cent cotton seed meal in most experiments ate 

 but little food and made very slow growth. In other 

 eixperiments they required only 3.84 and 4.68 pounds 

 of this mixture per pound of growth. 



The feeding of cotton seed meal as part of the grain 

 ration for 34 to 38 days in most cases had a, poisonous 

 effect on shoats weighing from 59 to 118 pounds each. 

 No ill effect was noticed prior to the thirty-third day 

 and some pigs showed no perceptible ill effects on the 

 thirty-second day.
