Use for cinders to boost winter poultry sunlight
Use for cinders eggs and the health of the poultry flock in winter depend upon direct sunshine. Sunlight through ordinary glass is ineffective. a southern open space with an eight to ten inch cinder layer provides direct UV sunlight. This simple method aids egg production and hatchability.
Barley Produces Higher Profit Than Oats In Test
The trial in Putnam County shows barley yields 32.4 bushels per acre with 52 cents cost per bushel, versus oats at 60.6 bushels and 31 cents per bushel. With prices of 35 cents for oats and 41 cents for barley, barley yields $4.13 above cost per acre, while oats bring $17.71 over cost, a net $220 per acre advantage for barley.
Experiment Shows Value of Manure in Cropping
A long running Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station study finds fresh manure applied in December or January yields about 66 cents more per ton than the same amount left in a barnyard pile until April before use. The project spans a third of a century alongside a corn, wheat and clover rotation. In Syracuse, New York, December 4, Mr. and Mrs. Cuddeback married and rented an apartment, then via a newspaper ad recovered their missing belongings after honeymoon disorientation.

Ohio Florists Test Substitutes for Manure at Station
About 500 Ohio florists attended the Ohio Experiment Station Florists Day at Wh ster. The trials tested substitutes for manure, cutting propagation, and soil acidity with peat often outperforming manure for humus and plant health. Sand slag peat mixes yielded good rooting. straight node cuts rooted better. trimming reduced rooting. Greenhouse crops tolerated wide soil acidity ranges. Wiggin notes commercial crops can be grown in varied substrates. There are over 100,000 Boy Scouts in the British Empire.
