Needle Your Trees For Better Buds Scientists Say
Scientists report injecting tree limbs with yeast plant extracts and bark or wood material to cause buds to open. J P B Bennett of the University of California notes nitrogen compounds may be key, while certain substances prevent bud opening when injected. Frost conditions may benefit from such retarder shots in spring.

Livestock program boosts war effort in Pierré land area
In the Pierré Land Utilization Project South of Fort Pierre and across Stanley Lyman and Jones counties residents, joined by the Soil Conservation Service, reestablished livestock growing as the main agricultural activity. About 85 percent of operators are stabilized for livings, relief burdens lessen, and tax delinquencies fall. Improvements, reseeding, water development, and favorable climate have improved range condition since 1935, aiding wool and meat production for America’s war effort. The project arose from the federal land purchase of submarginal lands after the 1930s droughts. 111,450 of 210,000 acres are federally owned. The Central South Dakota Grazing Association manages federal lands since 1939, with the Soil Conservation Service providing ongoing technical aid.

There’ll Always Be The Plow Horse In Pierre Project
Farmers in the Pierre Land Utilization Project adjusted livestock units to 125 head or more per unit, with many capable of handling 76 to 125 and fewer than 50 heads reduced. Improvements include reseeding 10,000+ acres, 50 stock-water facilities, 180 miles of fence, and about 2,500 more reseeded acres. Grazing moved to common pastures for operators without nearby headquarters. drought earlier reduced livestock but last year 6,224 animal units grazed, using ~90 percent of capacity.
