Korean Lespedeza Makes Good Pasture on Poor Soil
A small seed package from Korea sent to the U S Department of Agriculture seven years ago proved Korean lespedeza a valuable forage crop. Grown at Arlington Virginia in a row of one rod yielded eight ounces of seed and the plant promises drought resistance on poor acid soils. It seeds itself and serves as a summer pasture crop, thriving where grass fails in hot months. It shows potential from southern Pennsylvania to northern Ohio and into Kentucky and Virginia, with Kansas signposting further east edges. Seed supply remains the hurdle as farmers are urged to harvest seed for sale while the crop matures best in the described zone.

Corn and alfalfa good for young stock say report
A Nebraska State College report from Tincoln's Feeders' Day finds corn and alfalfa, the Nebraska cattle ration, nearly match cottonseed meal in net profit for calves and steer gains, while linseed oil meal and sorghum molasses offer lower returns. Higher protein feeds raise gains, but cost offsets profits. alfalfa stands look favorable this spring as farmers seed new fields. Cottonseed meal at 35 dollars per ton adds modest extra profit when mixed 1:6 with corn and alfalfa.
