Bote seeks Congress to upgrade USDA staff positions
Secretary Earl L. Butz seeks to raise pay and move several USDA posts into higher status. Deputy secretary Campbell would earn 42 500, Paarlberg would rise to 98 000, Wright would become a political appointee at 38 000, while Butz’s 60 000 salary stays. Wright says the department is undergraded and plans to press the changes with Senate and House agriculture chairmen.

Missouri farms double crop wheat with soybeans in marginal regions
University of Missouri agronomist William Murphy reports farmers in Missouri are increasing double cropping of wheat and soybeans despite risks. In the Bootheel about 90 to 85 percent of wheat acres are double cropped, but viability drops northward with moisture. No till and stubble management aim to reduce moisture loss and improve stands, though weed control in soybeans remains a challenge.

Brazil Dips Into US World Bean Markets
Washington AP The Agriculture Department reports Brazil has gained ground in foreign soybean markets that buy U.S. beans and meal. In eight key markets Japan West Germany France Spain the Netherlands United Kingdom Denmark and Italy imports of beans and meal rose 3.9 percent since Oct 1 while U.S. shipments to those destinations fell 14 percent. The eight countries account for about 75 percent of U.S. soybean and meal exports in the first half of the year. Brazil's expanded exports, amid declining U.S. shipments, drive expectations of a large U.S. soybean reserve by next fall with a potential 1.5 billion bushels from the 1975 crop and a near-record 1.55 billion in 1973. The Foreign Agriculture Service notes growing interest in soybeans among developing regions, though export-only production expansion remains limited in Africa and parts of Asia.

Hog Raising Income Is Variable Across Years
Harold A Sterreli notes labor and management returns for a farrow finish hog operation vary widely. From Missouri data 1969 1974 average return per hog was 14.27 dollars over six years, with 1973 at 33.44 and 1974 at 2.21. A 60 sow herd could yield 700 market hogs yearly, but hours per pig and yearly profit fluctuated, making a fixed $10 000 target unreliable.

Start Garden Weed Control Work Early
Ray Rothenberger Extension Horticulturist outlines three main garden weed control methods cultivation mulching and chemical herbicides. Cultivation is common in home gardens but must be shallow to avoid root damage while mulches including sawdust manure peat moss compost straw or black plastic help suppress weeds with care to nitrogen needs. Chemical herbicides require proper labeling use and timing, with DCPA and chloramben among options and Dalapon for border grasses. use guards against drift and follow Extension guidance in Guide 6951.
