August clipping of seedings reported usually beneficial
August clipping of clover, alfalfa, and mixed seedings is usually beneficial if rainfall is favorable, as weeds and forages in small grain stubble can be cut for hay with similar effects to grazing. After September 1, clipping harms red clover and October harms alfalfa, and high cuts favor weeds over crops.

No Increase Seen Possible In 1939 Ohio Wheat Quota
A spokesman for the Agricultural Adjustment Administration said there is no possibility of increasing Ohio's 1939 wheat acreage quota under the crop control program. The national 55,000,000 acre limit is already allocated, and any rise for one state would disrupt the program aimed at keeping wheat prices stable. Ohio Director Earl H. Hanefeld had asked for a 10 percent boost, but the state’s maximum remains 1,654,847 acres, 31.6 percent below 1936.
