Wheat Cleaning And Treating Save Disease Losses
Illinois farmers rely on seed cleaning and treating machines to protect 1937 wheat from rust and smut. Seven portable units operate in southern Illinois with three new ones on order, part of a regional wheat improvement program. Machines remove weed seeds and damaged kernels, improving seed quality and market value. Monroe County reports show added income from the program.

Improved Poultry Outlook Signals Higher Egg Profits Ahead
H. H. Alp of the University of Illinois reports a gradual lift in the 1937 to 1938 outlook for Illinois poultrymen. He notes a better feed price ratio, projected higher egg prices next winter, and a seasonal rise in farm egg prices by December though stocks in cold storage will temper increases. He warns producers to plan flocks considering two main factors: persistently tight egg and feed prices through 1937 and a potentially stronger but moderated rise in 1938 as pullets reach peak production.
