Irrigation Timetable for Mile Farmers in Corn Fields
Paul Fischbach University Extension irrigation engineer advises irrigating corn when 50 percent soil moisture is lost in the top three feet. If top six inches is moist at planting, irrigation can wait until corn reaches 30 to 36 inches. First irrigation should refill top 18 inches, with deeper penetration for older fields. For non irrigated in 1957, replenish soil to six feet in first irrigation. Adequate water is crucial during rapid growth to silking for maximum production.

Radiation Controls Granary Insects
Radiation of grains can control insect infestation by exterminating the adult granary weevil and flour beetles. Surprisingly low doses of radiation effectively reduce pest populations without visible damage to the grain.
Insect Eggs Sterilized by Radiation. Food Tip Offer
Radiation will sterilize the eggs of these insects and prevent further reproduction by the adults. A practical food tip suggests using leftover meat loaf by cutting into squares and layering with spaghetti and tomato sauce in a baking dish, then sprinkling grated cheese and heating in the oven.
