Feeding Your Chicks by Willard H Allen
A guide for cost reducing chick rearing from day one to laying age. Emphasizes supplementing commercial starter with home grown feeds such as cracked corn and wheat, with equal parts, thrice daily feeding. Advocates free range sunlight for growth and leg strength, and sunlit windows using UV-permitting material. Farmers with skim milk and grains can grow pullets for under fifteen cents.
Potato Market Activity Reflects Frost Damage and Rising Prices
Local growers move potatoes from storages as frost and cold damage shrink stocks in New York, Pennsylvania and Maine. Prices range from 1.00 to 1.10 per bushel in storage cells while Maine shipments lag and railcar availability affects supply. The New York Packer notes frost damage reducing the crop and predicts warehouse shrinkage may quicken as road conditions and hailing influence movement.

Cold weather fails to kill troublesome pests in Pennsylvania
Harrisburg reports that a harsh winter has not significantly reduced various pests. Entomologists note that Japanese beetle grubs, oriental fruit moths, cooling moths, and the Mexican bean beetle show resilience to cold. European corn borer survives winter well, while corn ear worm damage next summer may lessen. Bees suffer from continuous cold, hindering activity and causing dysentery risks.
