Corn to Mature in Short Season
United States Department of Agriculture investigators led by Frederick D. Richey explore 200 corn varieties from the Andes to develop a short season, low temperature mature variety. They compare Peru native crops with U.S. lines, noting altitude growth up to 12,000 feet and average temperatures around 39–60 degrees. The effort aims to breed crossing native and South American traits to expand corn suitability in cooler northern regions and for crop rotation.

Milk Sensitivity of Cows Requires Regular Milking
The dairy cow is highly sensitive to handling and milk flow changes. Any disturbance quickly lowers yield as the milk flow regulator is affected. To avoid upsetting the cow, she must be milked in the same place and at regular times by the same milker.
Poultry external parasites cannot be killed by feed additives
United States Department of Agriculture tests show no prepared chemical fed to poultry through feed or water will kill external parasites. Many products advertised to poultrymen are misbranded, and on average contain unsuitable chemicals. The Insecticide and Fungicide Board finds no substance tested to date provides the claimed effect, making internal administration of an insecticide unlikely to control external pests.

The seed testing laboratory reports that early crimson clover seed from last year’s stock shows variable quality. About 10 percent of June samples had less than 65 percent live seed, with 48 percent below that threshold this year, which raises the risk of poor stands and even seed imports being denied under the seed importation act.

Salting Soft Corn Shows Beneficial Effect
The Tova experiment station reports salt treatment of soft corn reduces molding and spoilage. A layer of corn is salted at 1% to 2% of grain weight between 2 foot layers, with repetition as more corn is added. Sampson of MecCal lsburg Iowa proposed the method in 1917, noting salted corn did not freeze hard and fed to hogs with good results.
