Timbers and Dairy Notes from Farm Reports and Advice
A review of Pennsylvania timber holdings notes seven and a half million acres with one eighth state owned and timber value at 139 million dollars. Farmers are urged to treat cows kindly as milk production responds to calm handling and well kept animals. Experiments show clover as top forage for pork, with rape and oats also productive. Forage crops can cut pork costs. A Washington Department of Agriculture circular recommends a fly repellent mix for livestock. Sweet clover shifts from weed to valuable forage, and stable safety is urged with no dangerous boards. Butter is highlighted as the most fertile farm product, with dairy regions most productive.
