Pork Production 



The superiority of rape when the two crops are handled 

 under these conditions seems evident from the above 

 results. 



At the Missouri Station/ records were kept of the 

 returns in pork obtained from the Medium Yellow variety 

 of soybeans during four seasons. The pigs were turned 

 in after the pods were well formed and fed straight corn 

 in quantities equal to three-fourths of a full feed. The 

 results are shown in Table LIV.

These results are not favorable to the soybeans when 

 grown and handled under these conditions. The un- 

 satisfactory returns obtained from an acre were explained 

 by the authors as being due largely to the difficulty of 

 securing a good stand. They recommend for best results 

 that the land be inoculated before the beans are sown. 



COWPEAS 



Much of what has been written concerning soybeans 

 as a forage crop will apply to the cowpea, particularly
