Missouri Experiment Station findings show slower hatching chicks have nearly triple mortality compared with on time hatch. Warming eggs to 101 degrees up to 14 hours before cooling improves hatch timing without lowering overall hatch rate.
Growers report cloth coverings using muslin sprayed with linseed oil to improve warmth and waterproofing. Beds are narrow with cloth draped over the south wall, heated at the north edge, and weighted ends. Cross-braces prevent sagging and shutters or straw add protection in extreme cold.
A reader notes southern dairymen prefer Jersey blends due to lower forage needs in drier climates. Observing only two black and white cows in 4000 miles, the article cites studies from several experiment stations finding small cows slightly more efficient for butter fat and milk, but higher per cow feeding and milking may offset gains, yielding a near stand-off.
A farm display shows turkeys raised in stairs and a hover with a temporary wire fence. A New York State laying contest features 10 White Leghorn hens producing 2 850 eggs in 51 weeks, projected 2 905 eggs yearly. Mark Miller of White County Illinois wins with Chester White sows yielding 20 610 pounds in spring litters and 18 095 pounds in fall litters.
John T. Hodson of the Ohio Farm Bureau predicts savings exceeding $400,000 in farm truck license fees after the legislature passed the farm truck license bill. He says the measure will enable economical truck use for farm purposes amid broad support from highway interests and farm groups.
Lorain County Herd Improvement Association reports show active herds with high milk yields and butterfat across multiple producers including Nav Eppley and Robert Sanders. Gardening guidance from Ohio State University advises timing by daylight, seed quality, crop rotation, and companion cropping to maximize small plots.
Hodson outlined a bill to reduce farm truck license fees by about 45 percent for vehicles used at least 75 percent of the time to haul farm products or supplies. He credited county and state Farm Bureau groups and Grange lawmakers for the push, saying the reform will activate idle farm trucks and boost purchases while offsetting revenue losses with higher gasoline and sales tax proceeds.
Ohio timber owners with mature walnut or white ash trees gain from rising bids as buyers seek timber for handles and other uses. White ash prices rise two to seven dollars per thousand feet, with stumpage from twenty to thirty five and mill prices from twenty five to forty five. Southwest Ohio shows the largest gains while eastern prices lag. black walnut remains highest but climbing slower.
Professor H. N. Brown of the Ohio State University horticulture department urges extensive planning before planting to secure the best harvests in Ohio. He notes home gardens can outperform store produce in quality, especially for sweet corn whose sugars turn to starch after picking, and mentions growing varieties beyond corn may yield desirable vegetables.
Ohio State University agronomy professor Richard Bradfield explains a "topsy turvy" soil world beneath the surface. Water appears to run uphill and across, air spaces fill after rain, and soil bacteria struggle for oxygen from iron oxides as they adapt to the submerged conditions.
Professor Bradfield explains that drainage and cultivation can restore waterlogged soil. When air returns to the root zone, bacteria multiply normally and plants regain vigor, shifting soil color from blue back to red or yellow and reversing the yellowing caused by moisture.
Ten registered Jerseys owned by Hf H Heeman Medina led the state with the highest butterfat per cow in 1936 while L W Nisbet Holsteins posted top milk figures. A Brown Swiss cow from All Bros Co Geauga led in both fat and milk. The state logged 20 associations with 11 325 cows keeping records. average fat was 517 pounds per cow. C L Blackman OSU advised on animal husbandry.
University notes increasing adoption of production records by farm associations with 40 groups already at work. 1,429 cows were sold for beef by members, underscoring the value of accurate records. Average butterfat per cow across associations reached 334 pounds, led by Northwestern Ohio with 401 pounds and $131.84 per cow above feed costs. Ohio dairy farming shows higher annual milk and butterfat totals, from 7,571 pounds milk and 520 pounds fat in 1928 to 7,787 pounds milk and 334 pounds fat in 1936 across tested cows.
Ohio Farm Bureau activity reports sharp enrollment growth across 45 counties with unusually strong farmer interest. L. F. Warbington notes 50 to 100 percent increases in numerous townships as the state organization expands membership and organized action.
Twenty cases treated at New London hospital in March with nine surgical cases. Medical three, surgical nine, maternity four, births four, accidents three.
Dr Emma Betow of Clyde Q will speak at the morning service Sunday April 11 at the First M E Church under the auspices of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society. Betow formerly led the Margaret Nast Memorial Hospital in Seinyu China. Mrs Nast was the mother of Mrs Gamble wife of a Procter and Gamble executive.
Warthington notes expected growth in the 100 Enrollment Club and forecasts over 25 percent more members in Ohio Farm Bureau this year. Last year the bureau and affiliated groups served over 75,000 farm families statewide.
