Disease Resistant Cumberland red clover praised for higher yields
In the Food-for-Freedom effort Cumberland red clover, developed by state stations and the U S Department of Agriculture, shows higher hay yields and greater nitrogen in soil. Tests across the southern red clover belt report 0.25 to 1 ton more hay per acre, with strong resistance to southern anthracnose reducing crop risk, and certified seed available at a premium of 2 to 3 cents per pound.

Maryland dairy heifers eyed to boost milk output
College Park February 13 Maryland dairy farmers can aid in stepping up milk production to meet Food for Freedom goals by developing their dairy heifers to good size. Dr K L Turk says well developed heifers calve earlier and produce more milk. Heifers bred around 15 months with proper care and feed reach target weights varying by breed. Calf feeding starts with whole milk then calf starter, hay, and silage as they age. Pasture and increased hay later support growth. Extension bulletin 90 offers more on raising calves and heifers. Copies free from Extension Service College Park. Goldsborough elected WV horticulture president.

Dr. Isidore Gersh shows thyroglobulin stored in colloid is broken into molecules that pass into the blood, and direct thyroglobulin secretion occurs when colloid is exhausted, offering insight into metabolism and thyroid treatment.
