CHAPTER XII 



OTHER CEREAL GRAINS FOR GROWING AND 

 FATTENING PIGS 



Where corn can be grown as in the corn-belt proper, 

 it probably will continue to be the main reliance in pork 

 production. In those sections in which corn is not grown 

 extensively, however, other cereal grains must be de- 

 pended on largely as the basis for the growing and fatten- 

 ing rations. Even within the corn-belt, it is sometimes 

 profitable to substitute in whole or part some one of 

 these cereals for corn. 



The composition of those cereal grains employed more 

 or less extensively is shown in Table CXXIII.
