boys and girls in Jewell and Ottawa county 4-H clubs are planning their feeding projects, not with an eye to "winning honors, but to make a THIRTYprofit from home-grown roughage, grass .and grain. Their system is identical to that proved practical by' the animal husbandry department of Kansas State College and used by hundreds of Kansas farmers-a-the deferred ftill�' feeding -plan of fattening beef calves. This sy�tem Includes wintering to gain nearly 250 pounds,' grazing for 90 days; then for about 100. full-feediD:g days. . . Last fall Victor F. Stuewe; Jewell county agent, bought 55 head of choice Hereford calves. Nineteen were -taken by 18 Jewell county boys and girla at cost. The remaining 36 head were as a check lot by Robert handled Shafer,.Jewell�. .'. Wide variation of, feeds, due to 1936 drouth .conditions, was the primary reason for varying gains and costs among the . project members during the Wintering period. However,' these differences were expected, and served -to out the : bring importance of well at reasonable Julian wintering cost, :i;tot:- .
