Very Desirable Hay for Various Farm Animals
Oat and pea hay well cured makes very desirable feed for dairy cows or for sheep. It is also satisfactory as horse feed, though rather soft for hard work. Yields of two and a half to three tons per acre are possible, with best cases reaching about three and a half tons.
Cover Crops With Corn Excellent for Pasture
A cover crop sown with corn at the last cultivation provides good pasture or may be plowed under to improve soil if conditions permit. Soybeans, field peas, rope, or cowhorn turnips offer late fall grazing. rye is the most reliable cover crop for pasture in fall and spring per Ohio experiments. A rye and vetch mix extends grazing and reduces winterkill risk, while red, mammoth, and crimson clover performed poorly due to winterkilling at the Ohio station.

Poison ivy along fences can be removed by cutting at ground level and saturating soil with a strong salt solution or with waste oil. Kerosene works as well and harms soil less. In inaccessible spots along stone fences, spray leaves with a saturated three pounds per gallon salt solution and repeat as new growth appears.

Findings in Department Bulletin 13821 indicate selection by seed-ear traits cannot reliably improve breeding outcomes, though longer heavier ears with bulky cobs may yield better seed for planting. Copies available from USDA in Washington, D. C.

Improvement in Seed Quality Boosts Crop Yields
The Department of Agriculture estimates seed usage in the United States at over 14 billion pounds annually. Small improvements in seed quality can raise yields with little extra cost, benefiting overall production. Farmers should buy better seed from expert organizations and follow local experiment stations testing. Clean seeds, not all seeds, should be sown, as much produced seed is unsuitable. Producing own seed is often unprofitable due to time and effort.
