Costly to Cut Small Trees Warns Forestry Expert
Parker C. Anderson of the University of Minnesota extension division urges farmers to avoid cutting small trees. He argues that removing trees under 12 inches is unprofitable and that leaving stands to reach 16 to 18 inches yields higher future profits. Tests from Lake States Experiment Station show 1,000 board feet from eight-inch logs cost about $20 versus $9.37 from 24-inch logs.

Many Miniature Farms Not Listed by Census

Serious Insect Pest on Potatoes Leaf Hopper Threats
The leaf hopper is the most serious potato pest, feeding on undersides of leaves and causing curling and browning. Unsprayed fields have seen 50 percent or more yield losses in some years. Bordeaux mixture (4 4-50 strength) is the most effective control.
Peas at Canneries Lead All Vegetables
The United States Department of Agriculture notes peas lead all vegetables in canning readiness. Since 1904 canning pea production has grown more than fivefold, with 122 crop years cited as prime for canning demand. Peas fit into 100-acre rotations, require well drained soil and a cool climate, and enrich soil nitrogen through legumes.

Whole milk feeding for calves improves growth and value
Dairy science notes advise using whole milk to start calves, then gradually withdraw as they accept hay and grain. A typical plan calls for 400 to 400 pounds of milk to reach about 500 pounds of grain and five pounds of hay in six months, with careful timing based on calf vigor.
No Increase in Value by Grinding Cow's Feed
The article argues that grinding feed does not increase its value for dairy cattle and that roughage ground fine cannot become a concentrate. It warns against magic in grinding, outlines steps: let grinding cost govern roughage grinding, do not feed ground roughage as a concentrate, grind small grain for dairy consumption not to a meal, and do not grind small grain for baby calves.
Cows on Short Pastures Need Some Grain Feeds
Dairy feeding evidence from the Bureau of Dairy Industry at Weltsville Maryland shows pasture yields vary dramatically with season. A 0.5 acre plot produced 420 pounds of grass in May over ten days but only 11 pounds in August during a dry spell. Under short pastures, cows should be fed as heavily as in winter.
