PASTURING ALFALFA SUPPLEMENTED WITH MILO. 
Data are available from 3 tests in which a 2 per cent ration of 
cracked milo was used to supplement alfalfa pasture at the Yuma 
Experiment Farm. The same general methods of pasturing were 
practiced as in the pasturing experiments at the other experiment 
farms, as discussed above. The results secured are summarized in 
Table X.
