Plants Endure Low Temperature If Not Forcibly Forced
Garden vegetables like cabbage and tomatoes will withstand lower temperatures and wider swings without harm when transplanted after slower forcing in a sandy seedbed. Sparse watering, good ventilation, and low fertility produce large fibrous roots, short sturdy stems, and sap with a low freezing point. In rich soil with abundant water and heat but poor ventilation, roots are scanty.
Feeding Soy Bean Hay Distribution for Dairy and Beef Cattle
Soy bean hay can be fed to dairy and beef cattle and sheep and, to an extent, replace linseed meal or other concentrates in balanced rations. For example a dairy cow ration of 20 lb soy bean hay, 5 lb ground corn, 4 lb ground oats, and 1 lb linseed meal supplies similar digestible protein to 20 lb sudan grass, 4 lb corn, and 3 lb linseed meal.
Ethylene Gas Ripening Speeds Tomato Harvest
Dr. R H Harvey of the University of Minnesota bar arms good ripening with ethylene gas. A simple chamber and gas flow meter cost about 30 dollars with gas per carload 40 cents to 1 dollar. Tomatoes should be nearly mature before gas treatment and kept at 65 to 80 degrees F.

Storage Buildings Above Ground Are Now Favored
Storage buildings for apples are increasingly built above ground with insulated walls and ceilings. Floors remain earth to prevent fruit shriveling, with slatted racks over it. Intake openings along the wall around the floor allow air draft, sized 18 by 20 inches or larger, with total intake area roughly one square foot per 700 cubic feet of storage. Roof outlets 3 by 4 feet or larger sit about 20 feet apart, aiming for one square foot of outlet per 1,200 cubic feet, often slightly oversized for better ventilation.
Growing and Fattening of Hogs During Summer
The growing and fattening of hogs in summer without good pasture is uneconomical. A 15 to 25 percent grain savings is possible with forage. Legume forage may support some gains, but best returns come from adding grain at three to four pounds per day per 100 pounds weight. If pasture limits grain, early gains are smaller. finishing may require more grain and take longer.
