Tiew to Plant a Forest
At the 12th annual meeting of the American Association of Nurserymen in Chicago last summer, secretary D Wilmot Scott summarized forestry methods. Break prairie in June shallowly to kill sod, then turn sod late in August or September burying it with two to three inches of soil.

Heifer Calves From Best Milk Producers Replace Cows
Dairy experts favor selecting heifer calves from top milking cows to raise for herd replacement. Raising calves costs less and yields steadier milk production than buying cows. A Virginia farmer reports cutting 480 tons of sow peas for ensilage and plans to extract forage with vertical cuts. Another neighbor mowed 150 acres for hay, keeping stock healthy. October projections from the Agricultural Department suggest a wheat crop near 50 million bushels and reserves around 70 million, with total potential supplies near 520 million bushels. Home use needs for a growing population imply substantial domestic consumption.
