Vegetables in Winter Drying Process Note
A brief note emphasizes keeping vegetables in winter dry. It urges thorough drying to prevent spoilage and preserve quality during storage.
Mulching Winter Wheat Questioned by Experiments
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station results over several years show doubtful value for mulching winter wheat. Yields varied with mulch timing and rate. December applications sometimes reduced yields. In some trials no clear advantage emerged, though straw mulch affected moisture and temperature. A 4-H Club Congress will be held in Chicago from November 29 to December 6.

Farm Facts Hint at Lower Crop Yields and Rising Debts
Preliminary federal estimates indicate crop yields will fall about six percent below the prior year due to severe summer drought. Farm mortgage debt on January 1 shows a modest rise from three years earlier, with 1923 at 7.28 billion and 1928 at 9.36 billion. Federal Farm Board secretary N. Christensen predicts mergers between small farm co operatives and large firms as farming follows industrial consolidation.

Sodium chlorate kills lawn weeds in spraying test
Ohio State Experiment Station agronomist A Welton reports sodium chlorate as an effective weed killer for ground ivy and speedwell. A spray of one to two pounds per gallon of water covers about 100 square feet. apply with a pressure sprayer or heavier spray with a sprinkling can. Apply any time in summer or fall. delay until late fall to minimize grass discoloration and reseed if needed in spring. Roads mark air trails by large height numbers to guide aviators across the country.
