County Farm Notes Reports Land Clearing Efforts in Gogebic County
Increased butterfat prices spark land clearing demand as the Gogebic county bulldozer clears fields in Erwin and Ironwood townships for farmers including Andrew Kivi, Wm Jacobson, Fannie Wiitala, Rudolph Nelson, Sulo Simila, Toivo Nelson, Earl Mattson, and Carl Sikonia. Farmers are urged to file land-clearing requests before the machine moves out, with talks of 4 hour blocks on adjoining farms to maximize use. Also notes MSU demonstrations using 75 pounds of ammonium sulfate per acre on oats and barley to boost nitrogen availability, with two tests in Ironwood and Erwin townships. Hybrid corn Michigan 71A is highlighted for Gogebic trials on C E Johnson and Ernest Hill farms, alongside ongoing ensilage corn and some sweet corn studies.

Potato Planting Nears Finish on Gogebic Farms
Most Gogebic County farms have completed potato planting with only large growers remaining. May brings unusually good conditions for controlling quack grass and weeds as dry weather aids field cultivators and weed eradicators. Recent rains benefit pastures hay lands grain and already planted crops.
Farmers Adopt More Fertilizers and Lime For Soil Health
Local farmers under the Soil Conservation program are using commercial fertilizers this spring as 81 tons of 20 percent superphosphate and 20 tons of 48 percent superphosphate have been ordered. A 20 ton car of 48 percent superphosphate is on the farms. Under the AAA plan the fertilizer cost can be deducted from soil benefit payments. Lime is emphasized to neutralize acidity on local soils, aiding alfalfa and legumes. Lime recipients include Wakefield and Ironwood area farmers with listed cubic yard applications totaling 130 cubic yards. University of Michigan reports over 5,000 students expected for the 48th summer session starting June 30.
