Mr. Moore: The sugar content of the Calhoun pods is around 38 per cent, in the Millwood about 36 per cent.
A Member: Is it different in the two varieties?
Mr. Moore: Not very much, only about 2 per cent different.
A Member: What spacing do you use in planting?
Mr. Moore: 35 by 35 feet is about the correct spacing.
Mr. Fisher: What is your labor problem? You say this is equal to oats.
Can you run a combine over the field and harvest in one operation?
Mr. Moore: This one you don't harvest at all. The cow picks them up off the ground.
A Member: If you had a few hundred trees, would these pods all come on at one time, or you mentioned having somebody shake them off. Can you pick them all up at one time?
Mr. Moore: Yes, you can shake them all off at one time, rake them all up with the rake, take a pitchfork rake, carry them to the barn and throw them in storage in a dry place. You don't have to worry about weevils.
A Member: Store them like hay?
