County Agent B L Coleman notes that cross pollination boosts fruit set in apples. Stayman and Delicious often need pollen from a goodizer variety. plan varietal adjacency, limiting four rows per block and using pollinizers on sides. In poor weather cross pollination can mean the difference between a full and light crop. Consider top-working every third tree in every third row to ensure pollination.
Grow Better Crep. While a few apple varieties will sometimes set a satisfactory crop these scions require several years to start to blossom. In some Pennsylvania or chards the yield has been increased as much as four times through this, means a general, a variety which is a good pollenizer for one sort of apple is good for all other sorts provided the blossoming season overlaps by several days.
Dairymen can save much labor by a new calf feeding method from the Research Farm at Paring Mills Experiment Farm. Calves fed calf meal pressed into cubes with grain hay and water, no milk after week four, with daily checks in troughs.
A Purina Mills Educational Division guide outlines daily attention needs for chicks from week two through week six. It cautions to monitor early development closely and emphasizes extra care during this vital period.
The guidance outlines a seven day start with steady temperatures and careful drafting control. From days 7 to 14 maintain even heat, reduce drafts, and lower temperature gradually. In weeks three to four, introduce roosting, adjust roost height about one inch from the floor, and increase ventilation and space. By week four to maturity, expand hopper space to two inches per bird and add more watering vessels and heat as needed.
The article notes limits of chemical analysis for feed value and cites Dr. H. J. Smith of Purina Mills on protein sources. It describes research toward optimal protein blends to meet chick needs, compares old and new feeding methods with practical charts, and highlights faster broiler growth and earlier egg production as profitable outcomes for poultry farmers.
The early six weeks determine a chick's growth as poultrymen shift from two thirds to over one pound in six weeks. Through proper blending of protein sources and nutrient-rich field crops, chicks now average more than a pound in six weeks and can be raised cheaper than lighter birds.
The text reports marked effects of various protein carriers on chick weight gains over a six week period. It notes gains differed by about 72 percent linked to carrier proportions. Data appears garbled but centers on dietary protein carrier impact on growth rates.
Purina Mills feeding experts report practical trials on thousands of chicks showing higher protein balance in feeds yields up to 7 percent weight gain in six weeks. Feathers and general development also improve with better protein ratios, while cheapest ingredients can underperform despite low price.
Weekly Health Talk notes spring fatigue, largely psychological yet real, as Dr. Theodore B. Appel warns about high pressure living. A case of a 50-year-old man who never slowed down ends in tragedy, illustrating the need to rest and heed fatigue for longevity.
Carla Dall daughter of Mrs Roosevelt joined the store staff this week selling frocks in a New York department store to benefit a local charity.
A curious report discusses recent findings at the Purina Experimental Barn and Caring Biologies Laborables. It notes a shift in egg production quality tied to the type of eggs and ingredients, highlighting new insights into production methods and potential impacts on output.
The Experiment Farm tested many feed combinations with 3 500 hens across 20 pens. The quality mash yielded eggs with 13 to 30 percent stronger shells, better yolk color uniformity, and improved yolk and white taste and nutrition. Useful for commercial producers, battery operators, and backyard flocks. Adjust housing, lighting, and segregation to maximize results.
Purina Mills Educational Division presents a calendar of chick management detailing day by day tasks beyond feeding and watering. Combined with properly blended rations these steps aim to keep chicks alive healthy and growing rapidly as outlined by staff experts.
The guide outlines prep steps two weeks before chicks arrive including thorough cleaning with soap and water, floor disinfection, and moving to clean ground. It covers brooder equipment checks, thermostat regulation, light and heat setup, drafts control, chick containment, feed provision, humidity control, and daily disinfection routines, with a preview of next article.
The text argues against spontaneous physical relaxation but supports brief naps and afternoon rests as profitable for fatigue management. It emphasizes adequate nighttime sleep and occasional daytime breaks to sustain the body in challenging tasks, noting the body, not the mind, bears the real burden.
A health column convicts readers to manage weight by simple rules and self discipline. It notes height based estimates and warns against overeating plus insufficient exercise while urging preventive dietary care and mindful living. It cites a refined lady of forty five and a stout fifty year old as examples of misused weight.
The document reports an informal economic meeting in the United States between Prime Minister Hamsey MacDonald and President Roosevelt, highlighting an early stage of lender and debtor discussions amid ongoing efforts to stabilize postwar finances.
