Extension horticulturist E. B. Morrow advises broadcast manure at ten to twenty tons per acre for garden soil, plus a mix with 500 pounds of superphosphate for most soils.

When twins in cattle are male and female the female is a freemartin and usually sterile at breeding age. Observations show about 7 percent fertility among freemartins, meaning one in eight may become a breeder.

Pear blight crops up in orchards in recurring epidemics with intervals of seven to fifteen years. The first serious outbreak appeared in 1914. Reducing pruning limits new growth and lowers tree vigor, so avoid extensive pruning. Use of certain fertilizers should be avoided during active blight, and reduce orchard cultivation in favor of grass or cover crops that compete for fertility. The disease is also called blossom blight twig blight or collar blight and is often spread by insects.
