New York State College of Agriculture Ithaca advises grafting girdled trees to save them. As snow melts, mice and rabbits damage becomes evident. bridge grafting with mature water sprout or vigorous terminal growth scions is recommended during delayed dormant spraying when buds show green.
The guide lists planting distances for strawberries currants and gooseberries red raspberries and other brambles and grapes. It advises setting strawberries shallowly with crown at soil surface and keeping plants slightly deeper in nursery soil. Regular light cultivation and summer mulch for bush and cane fruits are recommended. no cultivation in the strawberry bed during the second year.
Ruth, a chief of pomalogical physiology at University of Illinois College of Agriculture, says careful pruning enhances fruit size and color and reduces insect and fungal injury by aiding spraying. The best approach removes excess branches, with limited heading back, while avoiding large removals on older trees to prevent decline. early training favors a modified central leader.
Growers are urged to apply the delayed dormant spray this spring as the first treatment. In peaches apply before bud swell. in apples apply when green tips appear. Timely application improves insect control for peach and apple crops.

Notes include keeping chicks under the hen for 24 hours, introducing stale bread or milk soaked food, cautious corn meal use, boiled wheat and rice feeds, occasional boiled beef, and moderation to support fast growth and resilience in young turkeys.
Prof T F Payne of Kansas State Agricultural College warns that mixing youth and aged birds harms profits. He notes pullets fed for crowing fatten hens while sparing pullets starve, and describes a farm demonstration where 75 top pullets are separated from 50 top hens each October and housed separately all winter.
Poultry advice emphasizes green feed to stimulate egg production and early hatched chicks gaining a start before heat. Proper ventilation and dry mash help keep hens laying, while well bred roosters are a sound investment. Under good conditions four to six eggs per pullet weekly is possible in fall.
Frank M. Casey of Mount Vernon, New York, praises Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for restoring his health after worsening conditions. He notes he would swear to its merits before a notary and keeps a bottle at home.
