Farmers are urged to order insecticides and fungicides early for field crops and gardens with tomatoes highlighted as a top garden vegetable. Notes warn of reduced civilian shutter supplies in Feb-Mar, lime 21 million Iowa acres for erosion control, and advise rust removal before painting. Soybean spoilage risks, spring piglet losses from chilling and crushing, dairy herd breeding at 13 months with calving at 24 months, and caution against postwar overbuilding are discussed.
