Show i-T ANT SUBSTITUTE CROrS lron hIv andfee grains According to the State Agrj- of what it was last jeai, tne feed grains 62 per cent j Of what they were last year. With this understanding even after the 175,000 head of cattle which the government is now buving from the farmers are disposed of, there will be a short age of feed for the remaining cattle, unless nature steps m and gives us some good and frequent rains from now on. To make the best of a bad situation, therefore, and thus provide as much emergency feed as possible for farm animals, is a problem which confronts Utah farmers. Corn, sorghum, and Sudan grass are probably the crops that can best be depended upon at this time of year to produce more or less satisfactory results. Sudan grass may even be planted plant-ed early in August and still produce a fairly good amount of feed per acre. It is a fast grower and can be used for hay, pasture or silage. It is too much, of course, to expect normal nor-mal yields from these late-sown crops, even if weather conditions are favorable from now on; but what is produced will help out materially. Sorghum will withstand very hot dry weather and will con- tmue LU grow Uiiuei secic j verse conditions. There are many kinds of sorghum that are equally good and the crop can be used for hay, forage, silage, seed or syrup. It may be hard to find seed for planting, therefore, use what seed you can get. If corn is available plant it and it will probably give better results than delaying to search for seed for some other crop. Whatever you do along this line, do it now. Delay may mean failure. The L.
