Yet the black stem sawfly spreads across northeastern counties, threatening harvest with lodging and early cutting losses, especially in Carroll and nearby counties where infestations reach high levels.

Precautions Urged To Save Wet Grain In Storage
In Ohio wheat at high moisture risks spoilage, says Professor R C Miller of Ohio State University. Advice includes testing moisture at an elevator, removing weed seeds and damaged kernels, screening seeds to prevent moisture transfer, and installing low-cost external air flues in bins to circulate dry air. Flue construction uses simple boards and fly screen, with tiered placement to promote airflow and prevent insect entry.

Extravagant power play urged as moral duty
A fragment argues that embracing power represents a high form of extravagance and should be pursued, framing restraint as incompatible with a bold, aspirational vision. The text suggests a normative claim about leadership and societal progress without detailing concrete actions or actors.
Favorable Season Encourages Low Cover Crop Planting
Ohio farmers are urged by extension agronomist D.R. Dodd to use favorable weather to establish more soil conserving grasses and legumes. Seedings aid winter cover, livestock forage, and participation in the 1938 Agricultural Conservation Program. Best seedings occur on lands with previous harvests or fallow, with strips on slopes to prevent erosion. Seedbed must be firm and moist, seed lightly, and fertilizer 2-12-6 or 0-14-6 at 259 to 350 pounds per acre.
