Heavier oat yields follow good plowing on heavy land
Michigan expert H C Rather notes larger oat yields on heavily plowed land than with disking. Master farmer Paul Clement near Britton, Monroe county, reported 108 bushels per acre in 1925 and 1926 and no field under 80 bushels in three years. Fall plowing recommended for best seed bed preparation to combat the European corn borer.

Alfalfa Boost Could Cut Clare County Feed Bill
Creamery Institute says planting alfalfa can cut Clare County's $49,721 annual feed expense. It notes alfalfa yields 2.2 tons per acre versus 1 ton for clover or timothy and that one alfalfa acre matches three clover or nine timothy acres in protein. Institute projects 10 000 Acre Alfalfa Clubs to lift local farm profits by about $300 000 per club area.
