Extension notes outline staking methods for bare root and balled plants in Kansas including wood stakes, soft ties, and rubber hose protection. Pruning guidance covers reduction of top growth by a third to half, focusing on secondary branches, with no immediate fertilizer and a diluted feed after the first growing season.
Agri culture Department economists tie a 3 percent farm index rise to sharply higher egg prices. Egg costs averaged 48.8 cents per dozen in mid November, up from about 40 cents in prior months. Output fell nearly 2 percent in the first three quarters, with 1969 production expected below last year.
The 1970 Turkey Marketing Guide from the U S Department of Agriculture recommends a production cap at 111 million head a five percent rise from 1969 and breeder hens up to 3 5 million head. It notes higher costs and stronger red meat competition but aims to balance supply with consumer demand.
The southeast Kansas swine district will hold a Thursday meeting at the National Guard armory starting at 10 a.m with a registration hour and feed equipment exhibits.

Evaporated whole milk production in October fell 7 percent from a year earlier to 94.8 million pounds, the lowest for October since 1929, while nonfat dry milk dropped 12 percent to 55 million pounds, the smallest October output since 1955.
Washington AP reports farm prices in November at their highest average since 1952, with a 3 percent rise but a wide margin between what farmers receive and what consumers pay. Dr. Don Paarlberg of the Agriculture Department says the cushion may absorb future price shifts, and meat supplies remain near last year's levels despite high demand. He notes vegetables and eggs hit record highs, while hog prices set a monthly record. Consumers should not yet worry, he adds.
