Liquid fertilizers aid crops during drought and reduce burn
Dr. V A Tiedjens explains liquid fertilizers replace dry forms to improve phosphate availability. Starter and side dress applications at 2 to 4 pounds per 50 gallons yield better results, with 13 26 13 mixes and mono ammonium phosphate noted for higher analysis. Liquid forms prevent burn, improve economy, and have boosted yields on tomatoes beans celery and other crops even in dry weather.

Spring Pasture Feeding Changes Flavor of Milk
Blight defects in flavor may prevent full enjoyment of milk and thus curtail its use says H A Herman of the Missouri college. Flavors in milk may originate at various stages in its production and handling. In early spring weed flavors are common on short and weed infested pastures as cows eat herbs they might otherwise refuse. Dairymen should avoid relying on pastures with wild onions or similar weeds or remove cows 6 to 8 hours before milking if no other choice exists. A switch from dry feeding to grass changes flavor, provoking customer complaints. Following a planned feeding routine can prevent these flavors.

Farm Notes on Crops, Food Storage, and Hogs
Total American crop production this year ranks second only to 1937, per the U S bureau of agricultural economics. Over 1,000,000 frozen food lockers in 3200 plants now serve U S families, per the Farm Credit administration. Good pasture provides vitamin A for livestock, aiding growth and health. An Ohio 1924 survey across nine counties found 47 percent of farm homes over 60 years old and average well distance 74 feet from the kitchen. Forest land deemed idle after heavy cutting equals Italy’s size. For hogs, give whole oats soaked in buttermilk after a 24 to 30 hour fast, then feed semi solid soggy mix.
