Clean Orchards Fight Apple Pests This Fall
H R Niswonger NC State extension horticulturist advises orchards to spray with lime sulfur or oil this fall to cut San Jose scale and other diseases. Cull apples should be burned and diseased parts pruned. Clean packing houses and burn refuse to deter codling moth and rats. Remove worthless trees and scrape loose bark before burning.

Tractor valve burnout from too-tight clearance on engines
Article notes valve burnouts in tractors arise from valve stem push rod clearance under .020 inch. Heat expands valves and lets flame blow through. Mechanic correcting adjustments to at least .020 inch can prevent burnouts. Overheating or lean mixture may also cause burnouts, with widespread valve failure pointing to the cited clearance issue.
Repair Feed Bins to Guard Against Pests
Examine wheat bins before laying in feed. Warped or cracked boards allow grain to trickle through and invite rats mice and sparrows. Line bins with galvanized iron to block entry and keep feed secure on the farm where pests thrive year round.
Farm Notes on Seed Costs and Market Trends
Good seed costs money and quality products pay off through customer satisfaction and repeat orders. Heavy city traffic favors roadside farm markets over municipal markets. Fruit trees suffer annual damage from rabbits and field mice, especially in fall and winter.
Fertilizer Boosts Tomato Quality and Yields in Indiana Clubs
Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station studies show mineral corrections in soils raise yields and quality for lettuce spinach radishes beets and tomatoes. Indiana Ten Ton Plus Tomato clubs promote 500 pounds of 2-12-6 per acre, with over 3 000 members in five years and yields near double non members. A reported 78 percent of club tomatoes graded U S No 1 in 1928.

Sweet Clover Cropping Should Not Be Overdone
M. F. Miller of the Missouri College of Agriculture warns that sweet clover used as green manure should appear only once in three or four years. Excess nitrogen from frequent plowing can unbalance soil and cause corn to lodge. A rotation with corn oats wheat and seed sweet clover works for some farmers, but legume hay must be planned separately.

Careful Use of Manure Raises Crop Returns
Daily hauling or safe storage is needed to conserve manure residue. Studies at Tennessee and other experiment stations show manure adds value from $2 to $7 per ton through increased crop yields, with gains of $2.12 to $2.25 per ton on upland and bottom land over extended periods.

Market Prefers Short and Stocky Potatoes
The New Jersey agricultural experiment station reports the trade favors short and stocky sweet potatoes over long and lean forms. Under fertilizer tests, stocky tubers require ample potash with nitrogen to build thick cell layers and higher protein. Greenhouse studies detail how insufficient potash limits protein synthesis and shapes.
