But in the thing to which the hog grower must ever look for the greatest economy in growing hogs up to the finishing period, for example, grazing crops, is where the South exhibits her greatest strength. The West has her clover, alfalfa, grasses and rape for summer use mainly. We have all these and many more, such as soy beans, cow-DUROC-JERSEY SOW peas, velvet beans, Bermuda, lespedeza, etc. Then our late falls and early springs make possible several months of slightly cooler grazing weather, when rape, rye, crimson clover, bur clover, and winter oats do valiant service in holding down the cost of production. And while we are on the subject of grazing crops, it should be noted that corn may be harvested by hogs in the field as well as can other crops that are more commonly used in that way, although we rather object to this method of harvesting the crop when labor is available for its hand
