Feed Grain Use Rises Sharply Through October March
Feed grains from the 1958 59 record have been disappearing at the heaviest rate in years. Department of Agriculture figures show 82 million tons of feed grains were consumed domestically in October March, up 10 million tons from a year earlier due to higher live stock production and feeding. More than six million tons were exported, about a fourth higher than 1957 58. Britain removed controls on imports from the dollar area of shell eggs cheese and egg products, opening US sales possibilities for dried or frozen egg whites, though current prices limit fresh egg and cheese sales.

Lime Starts the Path to Bigger Crops in Pennsylvania
The article argues soil acidity limits crop growth and lime is the essential first step. It links better yields to lime use, noting that other factors like fertilizer or animal types matter less on acid soil. With rising costs, the key is increasing yield per acre and profit through proper liming.
