Scientists at the agriculture department report a combined solution of 2 4-D weed killer, urea fertilizer, and fermate fungicide applied to Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and redtop. August application matches solo use, weed kill and fertilization raise herbage yield 40 to 131 percent in two months, with fermate not hindering weed control or fertilizing effects.
Care tips for rayon stockings include washing before wear with lukewarm mild soap, gentle soil removal, and slow drying. Do not wring or twist when wet, and wait for complete dryness before use. Rinsing over the season extends life, especially for light colors, while runs and snags should be treated carefully with gentle repair methods.

The bureau of animal industry reports extensive advances in breeding feeding management and disease control that boost livestock efficiency. Progeny testing raised beef production by up to 22 percent in one generation with rapid gains and moderate feed use. Sheep breeding shows inheritance of high weaning weight and wool length. Southwest cattle grazing with June mowing doubled beef per acre. Swine parasite control by daily feeding protected pigs against common internal parasites.
Yemen, the Red Sea kingdom ruled by Yahya, is relaxing its isolation by inviting U.S. envoys this spring to discuss diplomatic relations.

The study suggests pleasant surroundings boost efficiency, pride, and loyalty, with no need for costly embellishment.
Digestible nutrients balance milk and body weight. Hay or silage can supply all nutrients for low producing cows. high producing cows require grain for concentrated nutrients due to digestive capacity limits.
The USDA announces rutin, a yellow non toxic powder from green buckwheat, ready for large scale production this year to treat fragile capillaries. University of Pennsylvania observations support rutin for high blood pressure related vascular fragility, preventing hemorrhages in eyes or brain. Early research suggests nutritional benefits for the circulatory system, teeth, and bones.
In 1945 livestock sanitary officials report vaccination of over 500000 calves for brucellosis, up from under 400000 prior year, while testing found more than 243000 reactors. About two thirds of reactors were slaughtered and one in ten infected cattle were pure bred. Owners received compensation covering most assessed value, with about 5 percent of cows in tested herds infected.
Dr. Agnes Fay Morgan of the University of California argues that enriching refined white flour is a stopgap but should not delay expanding the use of whole wheat bread. She notes whole wheat adds protein and B vitamins while boosting calcium with milk solids, and cites California’s higher share of whole wheat bread compared to the national average.
The text traces the shift from the seventh day Jewish Sabbath to Sunday as the Christian day of rest. It notes early Christians observed both days, and in 321 Constantine issued an edict making Sunday the legal day of rest, commemorating Jesus's resurrection, after which Sunday became the majority practice among Christians.
The bureau of plant industry and Nebraska Experiment Station developed a hybrid alfalfa expected to raise yields by 20 to 25 percent over ordinary varieties. Experts say it may contain about twice as much vitamin A as standard alfalfa under the same conditions, adding higher levels of carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, and vitamins.
Fifty years of evolving home styles are traced from plush fur furniture to taupe monotones. The article notes shifts from bold colors to muted oatmeal papers and back toward brighter combinations as women embrace cheerful hues and reject negative color prophets urging monotone schemes.
The busy homemaker can improve low grade meat by grinding to break connective tissue making it more tender. Use for patties with gravy or bake as meat loaf. For pot roasts stews or swiss steaks cook long and slow with added liquid and browning for flavor and color.
The south holds about 33 percent of U S railroad mileage and a larger share than its area or population. Ware rail freight rose during the war, while a widespread surfaced road network covers about 48 percent of state highway mileage.

A $400000 investment in ag research yielded a new domestic sugar beet seed industry worth about $1.5 million annually. Originating from a 1922 New Mexico station discovery, Welt beet seed production expanded to nine states by 1941 and now totals 16 to 17 million pounds yearly, with Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin using around 3 million pounds.
Plant pathologists outline simple measures to defend crops from fungal diseases. Use high yield resistant varieties, plant certified seed from healthy fields, apply protective seed treatments, and follow experiment station guidance on planting time and rate. Rotate crops, control weeds, and destroy residues to reduce disease germs and fungi.
Food science researchers highlight giblets asvaluable parts of poultry beyond gravy. Livers provide iron and vitamins, with markets selling mixed or single items. Gizzards and hearts require slow simmering, especially from older birds, while livers need brief cooking. cutting giblets speeds cooking.
Nutritionists say citrus fruits and juices supply vitamin C effectively. A half glass of juice, a whole orange, or a couple tangerines meet a day’s requirement. Striving to minimize heat and air loss, cut fruit just before serving to preserve vitamin content.
To achieve rapid growth and good yields vegetables require soil rich in nutrients and moisture retention. Stable manure supplies nitrogen but should be balanced with 400 pounds of 20 percent superphosphate per acre, with 10 to 15 tons of manure plowed under.
