Heating Water for Drinking in Staying Houses
The water in eggs is two thirds water, justifying a heater in staying houses to remove chill from drinking water. Best results occur at 50 to 60 degrees with immersion electric heaters for those with electricity. They are automatic, inexpensive, and long lasting. If electricity is unavailable, a large fountain with a kerosene heater underneath is a viable alternative, though it requires more care.
Forty Thousand Trees for Scott County
Through the Missouri Conservation Commission orders have been placed by multiple individuals for about 40,000 black walnut, hardy catalpa, black locust and shortleaf pine seedlings. Grown by the Forest Service at Licking, they cost $2.50 to $3.00 per 1000 f.o.b. Rolla and will be set out in February and March on farms that secure the trees for windbreaks and erosion control, under an agriculture conservation program that can raise farm payments by up to $30 for meeting timber planting criteria.

A self fed mix of equal parts wood ashes bone meal and salt ensures minerals. ground limestone can replace ashes. Ration should be bulky yet not too rough. corn and tankage plus good hay often outperforms corn and tankage alone. include succulent seeds or bluegrass pasture to maintain digestion.
Dairyman Proves Good Pasture Pays
John Schuchart, a Sikeston area dairyman, reports a pasture program paid for itself. At the 1939 Benton soils and crops conference 135 attendees heard that he supplied pasture for 60 dairy cows and 30 beef cattle for a month at about 2 to 3 cents per cow per acre. He used 65 to 70 acres for crops to feed the herd, with barley, vetch, crimson clover, tupedeza, soybeans, oats and sudan grass as roughage. crimson clover and vetch failed to survive winter, so oats and sudan were used instead.
