Tests Show Sooner Milo Fattening Value at State College
At South Dakota State College Experimental Station Brookings, tests on Hereford steers fed for 143 days found Sooner milo with ground milo, soybean oil meal, and alfalfa yielding 2.78 pounds daily gain and 495.9 pounds of milo per 100 pounds gain. Corn fed steers gained 2.05 pounds daily with 30.7 pounds corn per 100 pounds gain. Milo outperformed cane seed in feed value. Trials with pigs showed milo producing 1.86 pounds daily gain versus 1.63 with corn, and milo required less grain to gain weight. Researchers plan further trials in 1941 and note strong potential for milo in hog and cattle rations.

You Don’t Have To Buy Hay If You Can Raise It
M C Eggleston of Beadle County boasts a 34 year record of never buying hay. He owns 17 quarter sections with large cane plots and 400 fat lambs, 100 stock cattle, 66 calves, 46 fat steers, and 500 sheep. The farm produced 590 to 600 tons of hay last summer from cane and pasture, with cane fed to ewes and calves, and corn ground for lambs. The Egglestons winter ewes on cane, run sheep on pasture, and fatten 46 steers on sudan grass and ground corn, using tractors and horses for field work.

Sooner mila grain shows superior feeding value for stock
Sooner mila grain delivers notably higher feed value than corn and other farm grains, making the mila grains ideal for breeding and fattening stock. Cane or sweet sorghums yield more forage per acre and surpass mila for silage in some uses, while sorghum varieties suited to South Dakota expand likely production in the next decade.

Armory to Host Evening Shows Replacing Pavilion
The show will move two evening events to the college armory this year replacing the stock pavilion while the pavilion hosts afternoon livestock preliminaries and booth exhibits from horticulture agronomy and poultry. The alteration expands spectator capacity and improves ventilation and lighting, with no changes to the program beyond the venue shift. Milk cows should receive water at a rate of ten pounds per pound of milk produced.
