•T?r *•$ Thursday, September 8, 1960 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Pa#* Fi*e This. Business - ». Farming ifoimtil husbandmen, in a recent survey,' found that ten per cent alfalfa is considered fairly basic in hog rations, but feed- , e$5 can exceed this in certain cakes. However, don't get car- . ried away with ground alfalfa, ; they caution. With jnarket hogs, feeders <# go ufi to 30 per cent ground alfalfa. Gains will be less and it will takt^ more feed, but they'll ^bout balance out in , costs with the basic 10 per cent alfalfa because feed _will be cheaper -- and they'U have a -meatier type of hog. - It'll take 7 to 20 days longer ( to get the hog to market weight than with the "basic iCLhigher supplement" ration. *What must be decided is * whether the extra labor and iri- ^ convenience of feeding longer will cancel out the premium price of a meat-type hog. And watch this: For most breeding stock, feeders shouldn't go over 25 per cent ground, sun-cured alfalfa, with this exception -- with suckling sows, don't go beyond 15 per cent g*j>und alfalfa. Trhe suckling sow needs more concentrates and supplements, less alfalfa. The absence of carotene from a sheep's ration has shown definite deficiencies in Vitamin A and sub-standard performance of sheep during a year-long feeding experiment. The experiment ' was conducted on ewes to check both growth performance and lambing. None of the ewes on the carotens-free ration produced a normal, live lamb. Ewes receiving 1,000 I. U. of Vitamin A daily dropped normal-appearing lambs which became weak and died after 2 to 5 weeks. Ewes supplemented with 2,000 and 3,000 I. U. Vitamin A produced normal lambs which grew well. . To assure withdrawal of sou ices of Vitamin A, the ewes were fed in drylot for the year's test. Green forage is a source of Vitamin A. You csn get steers to market via the "grain-on-grass" route, but it's a long road and beef will probably come up short on quality. If it's an over-wintering program, steers and heifers can be started on grain in July, but should be moved to drylot for the big push for the fall market.

NIESEN'S FLOORS The 1960 corn crop seems likely to fall short of the record- crop of 1959. Production | for this years is officially forej cast at 4,079 million bushels, a reduction of 278 million bush- | els, or 7 percent below last ! year, though 7 percent over 11958. But the 1958 crop was j produced under acreage rej strict ions, while those of 1959 j and 1960 were not restricted. ; Of course, the 1960 corn crop I is not yet in the crib, and it | may be larger or smaller than [the July forecast. But, as the ' forecast stands, it is about equal to the amount of corn ; that is being used in this country and exported this year. , The forecast of smaller, corn production this year is based partly on a smaller acreage and partly or lower yields. The land planted tti corn this year is estimated at 83.680,000 acres, which is 1 percent less than last year. The average yield is forecast at 48.7 bashels per acre, 2.8 bushels less than last year. Many farmers in Illinois and Iowa will think that average yields will be cut much more than 2.8 bushels an acre. Some farmers in central, western and northern Illinois and in southeastern Iowa might be happy to settle for half a crop. A short corn crop this year would not have much pricelifting influence because of the large carryover of old corn. The carryover next October 1 may be near 1.900 million bushels, or one-fourth more than last fall. This increased carryover may more than offset the cut in production this year. If so. the corn supply for next year would be larger than it is this year. The CCC will he selling some corn in the next marketing year, though perhaps mainly corn that is in poor condition. Such sales plus the 1960 crop may still be more than will be required for domestic uses and Tor exports. This would tend to hold prices near the support levels. If the market price of corn sags seriously this fall, farmers might put enough under price support to pull prices back up to or above recent levels by this time next year. It is an important fact that since last fall corn prices have been very nearly at world export values. From last October 1 through June 30, about 160 million bushels of corn was sold to foreign countries. These sales were made with only very small export subsidies. This is a good indication of what prices might be without price supports. More Soybean Planted Farmers have planted 24,- 430,000 acres of soybeans this year; 5 percent more than in 1959. No official estimate of yields will be made until Aur gust. But growing conditions seem to be less favorable than last year. Acre yields may fall enough to offset most of the increase, in acreage planted. Production this year could be no more than the 538 million bushels harvested last year. The carryover of old beans will be much smaller than last year, perhaps half as much as the 62 million bushels carried over last fall. The total supply of beans for next marketing year seems likely to be less than the 600 million available in this present year. The soybean market now accurately reflects international values. From last October 1 through June 30, some 112 million bushels of soybeans were purchased by foreign buyers. These deals were made entirely without export subsidies. L. H.

The Rice Industry Everybody likes fried rice, but we have to credit our 50th State with an inspired version of this popular dish. This fried rice is so delicious, it walks off with main course honors, for it is served in a mound atop broiled pineapple rings and garnished with rashers of bacon. You'd never guess such good eating could be prepared so easily. Rooked rice is added to onions and celery, which have been'sauteed in iitflfiifaftfiftW aiongiwith, mush rooms and a generous MUMing of soy sauce. Stir in an egg, and you are ready to serve. This recipe offers a practical use, too, for any leftover rice you may nave on hartd. Rice, you know, will keep nicely in the refrigerator for several days* We suspect that Fried Rite Hawaiian will be such a family favorite^ that you wjll be cooking rjee especially for this dish.
