LEADING COWS Chopped Alfalfa Feeding To Be Field Day Topic Green chopped alfalfa operations and farm feed lots are enterprises being currently considered by many people wishing to utilize excess cotton land with livestock. Both of these topics will be discussed by Bob Miller, Tulare County farm advisor, at the Cattlemens Field Day to be held at the Farm Bureau Stockyards in Visalia on Saturday, Feb. 27, beginning at 10 a. m.

Chopping green alalfa and feeding it to beef cattle is a practice that has growm rapidly in recent years. As with any new practice, much controversy has developed as to its actual place in the agriculture of the county. Facts on the economics of the practice have been compiled by the Farm Advisors Office and these facts as well as management tips on the practice will be discussed. As a result of reduced cotton acreage many diverted areas wull be planted to corn, barley, milo, alfalfa and other livestock feed crops. Many people believe that these crops, may be more profitably marketed by feeding them to livestock rather than selling them lor cash.

The advantages as well as the hazards of a livestock feeding enterprise or farm feed Jot will be discussed. Other topics to be discussed the days program will be of wide interest to established cattlemen as well as those considering enter- Exeter City Council adopted the ture; and that there are 15 va-jing the cattle business.
