Good Seed Curing Means Good Crops
Agricultural engineer R. H. Reed notes eight years of farm management records from Illinois show curing and storing seed corn boosts next year’s Mimola crop by about 23 bushels per acre, worth over ten million dollars statewide at 60 cents a bushel.

Need More Horses Mules to Meet Greater Demand
Demand for horses and mules is set to rise materially in the next few years. Although production costs have climbed for two to three years, output covers only about 70 percent of expected demand. Much of the farm work stock is older, and by late 1936 the low point in the population may be reached. Higher feed prices could push more use of machinery and restrain breeding plans despite rising work stock prices.

Burley can substitute for corn or cuts if ground or rolled.

New Wool-Fiber Method Aids Sheep Breeders
Dr J I Hardy of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry presents a wool fiber measurement method using cross sectional photomicrographs and precise apparatus. Findings show fleece quality varies by individual animal rather than breed, with some medium-wool sheep yielding finer wool than some fine-wool breeds, enabling more accurate selection of breeding stock for fineness and uniformity.

Choosing Cider Apples For Quality Vinegar
Choosing cider apples hinges on selecting mature fruit. Unripe or decayed apples lead to poor vinegar. Vinegar must contain at least four percent acetic acid as per many state regulations. High acidity often comes from the sugar content of the apples and resulting cider. Mature apples generally yield better cider vinegar.
