First, ;i sliidy of Iho relative feeding value of ground velvet 

 beans in tlic ixkI and cottonseed meal as part of the ration for 

 milk and hulter fat ijroduclion. 



Second, a study of the influence of tlie above feeds on the 

 quality of butter. 



Third, a comiiarison of skim milk, Blatchford's Calf Meal 

 and oat meal as a feed for rearing dairy calves up to sixteen 

 weeks of age. 



Swine. 



The experimental work at Aubiun, Alabama, in co-operation 

 with the Department of Chemistry to determine the influence 

 of some southern feeds upon the properties (melting point, 

 iodine value, keeping qualitA and color) of lards, is still in 

 progress. 



The experimental work at Ozark, Dale County, Alabama, 

 was continued throughout the year. The experiments under 

 way on this faini were planned with the view of determining 

 the cost of producing pork under average farm conditions, 

 and studying the relative feedini.' value of crops typical of 

 that section foi' i)roducing pork. 



PoUL'I R^ . 



The experimental work at (^ilronclle, .Mobile (bounty, Ala- 

 bama, was continued throughout the year. Several feeds are 

 being studied as to their relative efficiency and economy in 

 egg production. 



Two new features were added lo this work during the year: 



First, to dclciniiiic Ihc influence of selection on the egg 

 production of Iho Mock. 



Second, to deteiminc the l)cst age to niarkcl poidtry.
