Scott County Farm Activities and Agricultural News
Scott County extension agents hosted a two day Balanced Farming School led by Paul Bebermeyer for assistant agents to improve balanced farming methods. Attendees included E L Sistruck Thomas Brown and others from multiple counties. The session covered soil fertility with lime and mineral plant foods, late fall applications on pastures lespedera and corn, and pre spring seeding benefits. A new circular Keeping Up Soil Organic Matter by Dean M Miller discusses long term soil organic matter and nitrogen management. Field trips to artificial breeding farms highlighted high production, cervical insemination and antibotists in semen, with dairymen urged to use winter service for higher conception rates. A Jersey Holstein and Guernsey bull production record bulletin will be available, and the 1949 Christmas Seal design by Herbert Meyers was recognized by the Society of Illustrators.
