Manure Use Guidelines for Spring Fertilization
Extension horticulturist E. B. Morrow advises broadcast manure at 10 to 20 tons per acre as a general garden fertilizer, well rotted and combined with super phosphate. A 10 ton per acre rate with 12 16 percent phosphoric acid, 4 percent nitrogen, and 4 6 percent potash is suggested. Cantaloupes and watermelons respond well to manure, with hill applications plus side dressings using a nitrogen utilizer. Do not use manure on Irish or sweet potatoes, as over-enrichment harms yields. use high potash utilizers for both crops.

Freemartin Heifers in Dairy Cattle Worth the Risk
Observations of freemartins show about 87 percent are sterile, leaving one breeder in eight. Feeding a freemartin for two months costs money, so dairymen weigh the chance against the value of nonbreeders for beef.
Pruning Grapevines Best in Early Spring
Pruning grapevines is best in early spring after frost danger passes. This timing allows removal of dead wood and selecting healthy canes for fruiting with minimal bleeding. Shoots and cuttings are set out as soon as weather and soil permit.
Control San Jose Scale and Peach Leaf Curl
Control of San Jose scale and peach leaf curl requires combining 2 per cent lubricating oil emulsion with Bordeaux mixture or lime sulfur at specified strengths. If San Jose scale is absent, Bordeaux alone or lime sulfur works. apply in fall after leaf drop or in spring before growth starts. For peach leaf curl, spray must occur before buds swell in spring. thorough spraying is essential to protect buds and prevent unseen scale and curl.

Fertilized Silo Corn Shines in Worth County Iowa Trial
A 1930 Worth County Iowa trial shows fertilized corn for silage outproduced unfertilized plots by more than two to one when cut for silo. The fertilized soil yielded large vigorous stalks and well matured corn, while unfertilized plots showed little growth. The soil, containing some alkalinity, received a commercial fertilizer with 20 percent phosphate and 20 percent potash.

Superior Plan for Setting Out Garden
The best plan for planting the garden is long rows aligned north to south to suit horse powered plowing and cultivation. Use wide row spacing for a horse drawn cultivator and favor horse labor over hand weeding. Some crops tolerate frost after sprouting while others must wait until all danger passes. hotbeds or window boxes can start seeds early.
Applying Fertilizer With Drill in Kansas
Kansas wheat trials show fertilizer attached to the drill increases yields. Prof. I Daley reports 8.3 bushels per acre boost from broadcast fertilizer versus 4.7 bushels with row application at seeding. Early spring growth differed, row methods lagging. Proper utilization is key for best results, even in nutrient poor soils.

Pear Blight Epidemic and Orchard Management
Pear blight recurs in cycles roughly every 7 10 or 15 years with the last major outbreak noted in history. To limit damage avoid heavy pruning and nitrogen fertilizers while blight is active, and feed orchards with grass or cover crops to compete for soil fertility. The disease, known by several names, is often spread by insects carrying its infectious virus.
Agricultural Hints for Garden and Farm Practices
Agricultural hints cover seed quality and germination checks for seed corn, weighing and selecting small potatoes, seed handling for ewes, and storage tips. It notes blackleg risk in wet soils, crib silos for green corn, and starting cool season crops in greenhouses with day temperatures around 65 F and nights near 45 F, plus hardening for light freezes.
