County Agents Report Camp Plans and Vaccination Advisory
The 4 H Camp Committee outlined a three day camping program to run June 30 through July 2 at Coldwater Lake with crafts playing a large role. MSU economist Brown visited Clare County farms to discuss farm account records. An official calfhood vaccination requires four to eight months old cattle with Strain 19, by a licensed vet, with records sent to Michigan Agriculture for a certificate. Vaccination reduces brucellosis risk and can raise cattle value, serving as cheap insurance for owners.

Michigan State University soil scientist I S Robertson reports minimum tillage saves time and often maintains yields. Tests show: old methods take about 2.33 hours per acre. minimal practice with one pass for plowing planting and weed spray takes 1.5 hours. combined plow and plant in one operation reduces to 1.1 hours. Farmers vary methods, from pulling a tillage tool behind the plow to planting in wheel tracks. Tillage goals include weed control residue disposal soil loosening and break up. Minimum tillage is used by about 50 percent of Michigan corn and 80 percent of sugar beet growers. Research shows yields stay good or better and erosion is reduced with more rain absorption.
