Livestock farming may or may
not be a soil improvement system
of farming depending upon wheth
er the right kind of crops are
grown and whether the manure is
properly handled and returned to
the fields. There is nothing mag
ical about livestock farming as far
as soil improvement is concerned
and it can easily he allowed to de
generate into a soil .robbing sys
tem of farming. The chief value
of a system of livestock farming
for ,soil improvement lies 4&othe
fact that enables the farmer te
market} profitably, soil improve*
inent crops such as hay, legumes,
and small grains.
The loss of futility to the soil
is about -twice as great when the
wbditai plant is removed from the
fields asvhay, silage or roughage as
when only the grain is removed;
To balance this heavy drain on the
land it is necessary for the live
stock farmer to return to the fields
the manure produced by-the ’ ani
mals he is feeding. Even wh^re
care is taken in handling the ma
nure about half the fertility in the
feed is lost in passing through the
animal and in handling, the ma
nure. This will about balance the
additional roughage removed from
the field by the livestock grower
with the added advantage that it
is in a more av ailable form.
A farmer should keep Jiis fields
in crops that will prevent leach
ing and washing as far as iq prac
tical the whole year round, grow
legumes and green manure crops
whenever possible, use commer
cial fertilizer where it is profita
ble, and always return the manure
to the fields. R, P. Bledsoe,
Agronomist.
