Indiana Farmers Guide reports that eradicating bull nettles and ground cherry near tomato beds can curb tomato mosaic, a top tomato disease in Indiana. In Tipton County, Ralph Kemp’s farm demonstrates that weed sprouts from diseased roots spread the illness to seedlings via ingecta, and removing these sprouts stops the disease.

Biennial Sweet Clover Growth and Bud Development
The text notes that biennial sweet clover grows from the stem rather than the crown when grown with alfalfa. Early fall sees undeveloped second year buds, and plowing under green growth prevents bud development. Later fall growth shows developed buds and green shoots that will emerge again if turned under.
Lamb Docking and Castration Practices
The market discriminates against lambs not castrated or not docked. The operations are simple and easy if done while the lambs are young, and should be completed before the lambs reach three weeks of age.
Destructive Gypsy Moth Being Checked
The Gypsy moth poses a serious threat in New England and New York prompting state and federal actions to create barriers against westward spread. Researchers note caterpillars disperse by wind, aided by hairs and silk, with balloons used in studies to track drift. In one season 7,000 hydrogen balloons yielded over 400 tag returns across southern New England.

Stable Manure and Fertilizers Boost Rhubarb Growth
Rhubarb is described as the strongest feeder among vegetables. Stable manure, especially cow manure, provides humus, conserves moisture, and supplies plant food. Growers use 26 to 40 tons per acre, applying in early fall or spring. nitrate of soda is added every two to three weeks in spring to boost leaf growth. When manure is scarce, a commercial fertilizer with 4.6 percent nitrogen, 8 percent phosphorus, and 6 percent potash is applied at 1,000 to 2,000 pounds per acre, followed by nitrate of soda every four to six weeks.
Reducing Bloat Risk in Alfalfa and Clover Pastures
Cattle on alfalfa or clover face bloat risk, but careful management reduces danger. Start timidly with dewy pasture avoided, ensure good feeding beforehand, and gradually increase daily exposure. Monitor closely early on and treat promptly if bloat appears.
