Corn Fertilizers Prove Worth for Early Growth and Yields
Wisconsin soils specialist C. J. Chapman says quick acting fertilizers fed through a planter give corn three main advantages: faster spring start, earlier fall maturity by up to ten days, and higher yields with better feeding value. About 18,000 tons of fertilizer will be used on corn in 1930, with mixtures adjusted for soil type. Manure remains the primary source of plant food. fertilizers should supplement, not replace, it.

Sudan Grass Rapid Growth Boosts Late-Sown Pasture
Sudan grass seeded late in May can be pastured by late June or used as a hay crop in July. Its rapid growth and drought tolerance make it a top supplementary pasture crop, while silage offers a good feed but molds in warm weather. Small silos work best for summer use, allowing deeper daily silage feeding.

Important to Feed All Geese Some Green Stuff
Geese are hardy and mature readily. avoid snued corn as it fattening and harms eggs. Oats serve as staple feed for laying geese with the usual mash for hens. Provide shells and bone meal or charcoal when laying. All varieties need green food such as grass, clover, alfalfa, cabbage, roots. This constitutes more than half the feed during breeding.
Agricultural Hints on Soil Erosion and Livestock Feeding
The notes stress soil conservation with livestock as key to farming success. It notes stock keepers often misbalance rations, and that eroded soils need nitrogen and phosphate more than potash.

Disease spreads in poultry linked to male birds
Cornell veterinary researchers report that roosters help spread bacillary white diarrhea in chicks. Experiments with infected and noninfected hens show dissemination occurs with males present, leading to coordinated lab networks across Erie Orange Onondaga Otsego Greene counties and Long Island to test about 62 000 chickens in under two years. Progress includes reduced infection rates and lower chick mortality.

Poultry Tips on Market Timing and Care
Poultry notes emphasize profitability through management. Market Leghorn cockerels at broiler size for best early prices, geese are best in pairs, water aids intake, keep brooder temps steady to prevent diarrhea, early spring broilers pay, and chick roosting helps prevent smothering.
