Illinois farm notes weigh irrigation gains and festival plans
Clark County farmers weigh irrigation of corn to boost yields amid feed grain surpluses. The Dixon Springs soils need 18 to 21 inches water for 100 bushel corn, while a 4 inch irrigation at tasseling adds 20 to 30 bushels per acre. Illinois announces the second Farm and Home Festival for April 2–4 at Urbana with exhibits on crops, livestock, mechanization, food processing, and youth events.

Farm Woodlands Seen Key To Future Lumber Supply
Extension forester L B Culver says private woodlands, mostly on farms or small holdings, hold about 73 percent of U S forest land with over 80 percent of that timber on farms. With population growth, farmers must protect this resource as lumber demand rises for construction, paper, and containers.

Prices for soybean meal fell 7 to 8 dollars per ton in late January reducing value of by products from a bushel of beans. Decatur wholesale quotes for 44 percent meal near 58 dollars a ton contrast with previous levels as production and demand for poultry and hogs shift margins. Carryover stocks projected higher at fall, with farmers expanding price support and CCC selling after May.
