CCC to Own Most Of Stored Wheat
The CCC is expected to own and control nearly the entire 1 080 million bushel wheat carryover by July 1 with only about 55 million bushels not in CCC hands. Prices for feeds and soybeans rose as price supports limited supplies and exports boosted soybean values. Hog slaughter and fall pig crop prospects look smaller. milk output per cow rises. egg production peaks. broiler prices stay below 1955 levels for months.

Rough Feeds Provide Value For Cattle Diets
Kansas State College tests show prairie hay alfalfa hay sorghum silage and corn cobs fed with grain protein and vitamin A can yield similar daily winter gains around 2.05 to 2.2 pounds. Researchers find little carryover advantage among roughages and conclude any roughage can be usable if boosted nutritionally.

Costs Vary Widely In Milk Production
Kansas extension dairyman FR F King Jr states production costs differ greatly across dairies and states. He notes pasture nutrients cost about 30 dollars per ton in New Jersey tests, silage 55, hay 60, and grain 124. High quality roughage reduces costs and boosts milk output. cows eat more on good pasture, producing 17 to 18 pounds of 4 percent milk daily. To maximize profits, producers should grow harvest and store good roughage, with quality tied to crop type growth stage weather and storage loss.

Fanned Cows Gain Weight in 70 Day Test at UC Davis
Tests at the University of California show Hereford cattle cooled by a 42 inch ventilating fan gained 1.03 pounds daily and used 400 pounds less feed per 100 pounds of gain during a 70 day trial. Theodore E. Bond reports on seven cattle using four mph airflow while seven others had normal breeze. Other methods like water sprays and air cooled buildings yielded smaller gains. Japan has seven people per acre of arable land.

Young Tree Care Suggested by Roth
Paul Roth of Kansas State College teaches that weeds crowding newly planted trees steal moisture and nutrients and harbor grasshoppers and rodents. He urges cultivation around tree plantings until late fall and mowing weeds in windy areas. When burning fields, plow furrows around trees and backfire the area to guard against runaways.
