Federation wheat outperforms Dicklow under irrigation
Experiments at Aberdeen Station show Federation, an Australian wheat strain, suits irrigation better. A 1921 Idaho yield of 219 bushels and 30 pounds from 2.17 acres in Jerome County is cited as a possible U.S. spring-wheat record, with Federation outyielding Dicklow by about 14 bushels per acre on average. Federation also milled for bread better than Dicklow, and last season showed success under irrigation in Oregon.

Best Development of Calf
Poorly nourished cows give birth to weak calves hard to raise. Calf development starts before birth as feeding of the calf begins in the cow. Elements for growth are absorbed in the cow’s stomach, digested, and passed to the calf through the umbilical cord. If the mother lacks sufficient food, both cow and calf suffer.
Getting Cows on Pasture In Early Spring
The temptation to set cows on grass early in spring leads to overgrazed pastures and delayed grazing readiness. Cows may show temporary milk gains when grass turns green, but these gains are short lived and milk output and flesh condition decline once regular rations are continued.
