Agricultural Statistician Note on Peak 1943 Income
A statistical comparison shows peak income in 1943 reaching $93,583,000. The figure is highlighted as a reference point for agricultural statistics and economic assessment.
Pigs Require Water Access for Growth Gains
Pigs in growing finishing pens need ample drinking water to maximize gains. When water supply is restricted, pigs immediately reduce feed intake and growth.
Multiple plantings give best effects in gardens
Annual flowers fill an important place in the garden during summer and fall. Best effects may be obtained by making two or three plantings. The first planting of potted plants will supply earliest blooms. A second planting of seed in May and a third in June will give continuous flowers until frost.
