County Agent Henry W. Shoemaker warned dairy farmers that protein in grain mixes must stay low to minimize costs. He advised 8 to 12 percent protein, with 16 percent maximum in certain cases, and suggested relying on 30 to 32 percent supplemental feeds due to ingredient shortages. Six factors, including limited crushing capacity and increased demand, drive dairy feed shortages, while mills shift to soy and other proteins to ease pressure.

Less Nitrogen In Fertilizer
College Park Maryland experts advise offsetting lower fertilizer nitrogen with bedding absorption and frequent application. Superphosphate in gutters increases nitrogen retention and adds phosphorus. Maryland trials show manure with 40 pounds per ton of superphosphate raises corn yield by about five bushels per acre. Open-piled winter manure loses much value. haul and spread promptly or risk runoff. Cover and bedded setups save fertilizer. avoid open piles with sloped sides. Victory Food beans named as a war period special. January 18 to 23 promotions encourage beans in wartime meal planning.
