Book excerpt: "Prickly pears may be fed to live stock in a green, succulent condition right from the field as needed. They require no curing, housing, or storage. In this they offer an advantage over most crops. They can be grown at a minimum expense, only the cost of planting and keeping down the weeds being involved, although the yield, like that of most crops is in direct proportion to the care and labor bestowed. Prickly pear will thrive where the rainfall is too irregular for most standard farm crops. Its yields are large and cumulative, increasing from year to year, so that a heavy tonnage may be had from small areas or use at critical periods. Prickly pear is green and succulent and admirably adapted to produce "good condition" in cattle when used with dry feeds. Cattle in brush pastures are known to have subsisted upon it even without water for long periods."--[2].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prickly Pear as a Farm Crop NO attempts have been made hitherto to cultivate prickly pear as a regular crop in this country. The nearest approach to it was made by some of the old mission fathers of California, who im ported cuttings, probably from Mexico, and planted them in hedges, where thev served the double purpose of barriers against stock and as food for man. That they received any appreciable degree of cultivation. However, is very doubtful. They were probably grown in much the same manner that the so-called cultivated prickly pears are grown in Mexico to-day. An extended use has been made of the native crop at various times for the past fifty years or more in southern Texas. But it has mainly been spasmodic, lasting only until the drought was broken, ex cept for sheep and goats. Which are fed on it regularly. And in the case Of the few dairymen who have made it a practice to feed it for a portion of each vear. In short, the prickly pear has been con sidered an emergency feed, to be used only when other feeds fail. Even enthusiastic pear feeders in Texas thought that the results to be obtained from planting and cultivating an experimental tract would only be very interesting. There was little expectation that the plants would respond to cultivation as they have done. The facts presented in this paper, however, Show that the prickly pear will produce, under proper cultural methods similar to those used for the common staple crops, yields of roughage superior to some of the standard agricultural (crops of the region, especially when an off year occurs. It has proved itself under cultivation not onlv an emergency feed but an insurance against famine, as well as a plant which can be grown and depended upon regularly as a farm crop.
