Poultry Breeding Study Highlights Sire Selection Methods
U S Department of Agriculture experts led by Dr Mary Tull examined White Leghorns and Rhode Island Reds at Beltaville Md to show ey production records across three generations better predict daughters. They found that reliance on a single record or a hen's output is insufficient, while the average egg production of a sire's daughters provides the strongest index of breeding worth.

Italy Seen as Origin of Leghorn Fowls in Poultry History

Manure Dressing Proves Beneficial For Wheat And Corn
Early research from Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station shows top dressing wheat with manure in winter improves wheat yields and aids the following corn crop. Experiments across seven counties used 200 to 800 pounds of 20 percent superphosphate and eight tons of mature manure before plowing for corn, averaging 4.5 tons of manure per acre on wheat. Five years of winter manure applications boosted wheat yields by six bushels per acre, with hay after wheat nearly half a ton higher. Eastern Ohio saw larger gains than western, and Wooster experiments estimate corn yields at 85 to 90 percent of normal when sod is manured before plowing. Manure also protects wheat from heaving, adds spring nitrogen, and conserves soil moisture in dry springs, aiding clover stands on farms with grass and clover.

Badly Weathered Hay Not Best for Dairy Herd
A Beltsville Maryland federal farm study shows cows fed continuous grain and hay without pasture for seven years remained healthy and productive, comparable to cows with pasture access in green hay and alfalfa experiments. Badly weathered hay, especially poor quality timothy, reduced milk yield and calf survival, likely due to diminished vitamin A.

Lime and soil lime influence forage choices at OSU
The agronomy department at Ohio State University notes lime content of soil decides which forage to grow. Alfalfa requires soils with natural lime or liberal liming. Red clover tolerates less lime, about half to two thirds the rate for alfalfa. Alsike and Timothy struggle on very acid soils unless manure is used generously. Bluegrass pastures thrive on soils with satisfactory lime content for red clover if fertilizer needs are met.
