BUREAU WINS On farm insect control and feeding debates
The report notes that insect population surges often stem from farming methods and urges changes that may upset conservative growers. It covers federation requests for stop-off privileges to load unload shipments, biological control using natural enemies, and the slow granting of such measures due to commission review and parasite dynamics. It also mentions acidophilus milk as a medical claim, grass grain planting in North Carolina, olive industry decline in the United States, and winter bee forage guidance from New Hampshire authorities.

Hardigan alfalfa and sweet clover may cover waste
Northern Michigan idle cutover land could be put to work with sweet clover followed by Hardigan alfalfa. L. L. Drake and W. C. Cribbs of Michigan State college extension workers lead the system, which relies on self seeding and low costs. Radish seed production also boosts prosperity, with Antrim county supplying about 60 percent of US radish seed. Aphids damaged crops, some losses exceeding $1,000.

Orchard Grounds Need Covering In Winter, Experiments Show
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station kept soil temperature records under cultivated mulched and sod orchards. Cultivated soil was cold in winter and hot in summer, while heavily mulched soil stayed warmer in winter and cooler in summer with steadier fluctuations. Sod soil fell between the two, and protecting soil reduces winter injury to fruit trees by moderating roots exposure.
