250 FEEDING AND MANAGEMENT 
“Three-fourth bushel soy beans per acre, drilled, planted in 
May, will furnish grazing from July to October. Supplemental 
feed, 5 per cent sweet potatoes, 1 per cent corn and shorts. 
“Two bushels peanuts per acre, planted in April, May, or 
June, will furnish grazing from August to November. Soy 
beans may be drilled between rows of peanuts when laid by, and 
the hogs allowed to harvest both. Supplemental feeds, 5 per 
cent sweet potatoes, 1 per cent corn. 
“ Hight thousand sweet potato plants per acre, planted in 
April or May, will furnish grazing from September to November. 
Wheat, rye, rape or clover can follow. Supplemental feeds, 
peanut, soy bean, alfalfa, or pea hay. 
“ One-half bushel chufas per acre, planted in April, May, or 
June, will furnish grazing from August to November. Sup- 
plemental feeds, 1 per cent corn, 5 per cent sweet potatoes. 
“ Corn and cow-peas, 44 bushel of the former planted in 
March or April, and 11% bushels of the latter planted when the 
corn is laid by, will be ready to graze or “ hog down ” during the 
fall Supplemental feeds, 5 per cent beets, 5 per cent rutabagas. 
“One to one and one-half bushels wheat or rye per acre, 
sown in September with 10 pounds red clover, will furnish graz- 
ing from December to May. The wheat or rye should be mowed 
off in March to give air to the clover. Well fertilized soil will be 
required for a good yield of these grazing crops. Supplemental 
feeds, 1 per cent corn, 5 per cent sweet potatoes. 
“ Bermuda and Vetch: In this state, two periods of the year 
are especially severe on grazing crops for hogs. One isin August, 
when the weather is hot and dry and the pastures fail, and 
the other in January and February, when it is very wet and the 
hogs cut the soft ground. These conditions can be overcome by 
planting cow-peas in May, which can be pastured in August, and 
by sodding Bermuda grass with a good sprinkle of vetch for the 
winter pasture. Our native Bermuda grass is easily grown hy 
planting tufts in moist ground 2 feet apart, when it soon covers
