At Dixon Springs Farm the deep tillage and deep placement of fertilizer are under long term study with Mulch planting showing promise while rotatons and planting methods are tested. Cattle sprayed for lice use lindane and a lambs feed taste test compares oats and corn products. New soybean varieties Kim and Kanrich enter testing in 1956.

Marked Upswing Expected in Hog Market Through Summer
An analysis predicts hog prices will rise after a marketing decline begins in late March or early April, peaking around $17 to $18 per hundredweight in summer before easing next fall. Factors include record hog supplies, competition from beef and poultry, rising marketing margins, and shifting consumer demand. June or July may see price highs with possible gains if spring pig crop shrinks.
