Tuberculin Test Not Harmful Says U S Department of Agriculture
Dr J B Mohler of the U S Department of Agriculture testified before a congressional committee that tuberculin testing cattle cannot cause abortion or sterility. He cited a cow given large tuberculin doses in a record and noted no abortions, while intradermic tests with small doses are common and also not linked to reproductive issues. Government herds tested for decades remain free of tuberculosis and abortion.

Better Preparation Urged for Berries
The bureau of agricultural economies stresses standardization and careful handling of strawberries after a field survey. Growers should aim for uniform high quality, with grading in the field or in boxes before shipment. Proper box filling, crate loading, and air flow reduce decay, and standard grades guide growers buyers and inspectors. Farmers Bulletin No. 1560 details the survey results and is available from Washington.

Cultivation of Alfalfa Will Pay Farmers Well
Farmers report success with alfalfa cultivation where weeds invade fields. Cultivators remove blue grass and weeds without harming the alfalfa, though the ground is heavily disturbed. Early season cultivation yields thicker, weed free second and third cuttings and prolongs seeding life.
Combine Has Advantage Saving Grain and Labor Besides
Saving an immense amount of labor in harvesting and threshing grain the combine also wastes less grain than any other method. Farmers know binder losses occur at the cutter bar during binding shattering and in loading unloading and threshing. Total losses with the binder vary with grain condition but are always appreciable.

Agricultural Hints and Crop Warnings
In cabbage the cutworm cabbage worm flea beetles and plant lice are major enemies. Celery needs rich soil and well watered ground before planting for better establishment. Cut roots back a third. Reed canary grass grows coarser and less nutritious, yet dairymen find its higher yield offsets this.
Build Up Productivity of Soil and Retain It
The farmer should know his soil and have a sound basis for every step in its treatment. Building up the productivity of a soil to a high level and then maintaining it, is any achievement for which every farmer should strive. The business of farming should be conducted as intelligently and as carefully is a manufacturing business. Every process must be understood and regulated, from the raw material to the finished product, in order to be uniformly successful. The farmer's factory is this farm. Different soils present different problems. It is important, therefore, that soils be studied and understood in order that the production of crops may be most satisfactory and profitable. No system of soil management can be satisfactory that does not in the long run bring profitable returns. Some soil treatments and methods of management may be profitable for a time, but tenuous in the end. One-sided or unbalanced soil treatments have been altogether too common in the history of farming in this country. A properly balanced system of treatment will make almost any soil profitably productive.

Dangerous to Turn Cows on Pastures Too Early
Dairy specialists warn that turning cows out too soon in spring harms herds. At Town State College this year feed shortages may intensify the issue as pastures are still low in value and water content. Extension men advise delaying turnout until grass startups, gradually removing winter roughage, and extending grain for high producers, then tapering slightly.
