100 Bushel Corn Crops Possible
CHICAGO Special Farmers in the Midwest may grow 100 bushel corn on previously poor land. Dr G E Smith of Missouri says good soil management and balanced fertilizer raise yields and profits. Soil tests help plan nutrient additions and boost organic matter in the soil. Public payrolls exceed farm employment with 7,083,000 workers in 1954. Chemical weed control increases pasture value by up to 20 percent.

Efficiency Cuts Costs in Milk Production and Distribution
Spectacular declines in producing and distributing fluid milk from prewar days to the early 1950s are unmatched in history, says Fanny Economics. In New York farms, costs rose 83 percent annually but efficiency cut costs 24 percent. without better methods they would have risen 141 percent due to inflation. Mechanization, milking machines, herd expansion, better care, reading and artificial insemination boosted output per cow. processors cut costs via larger plants, labor-saving gear, refrigeration, and store sales reducing marketing costs per quart versus other foods.

Grain feeding lowers Jersey cows milk yield in trials
At the Ten Ese ee experiment station, cows fed heavily on grain fattened rapidly and averaged 628 pounds by 15 months, while normally fed twins weighed about 80 pounds less at the same age. The fattened heifers yielded only slightly more milk daily than their normally fed sisters through first and second lactations.
