Ohio farmers urged to plant forests for future timber
Ohio State University extension forester F W Dean urges farmers to protect farm woodlots and plant young forest trees next spring to improve lumber fuel and posts at low cost. Plantings of 1000 to 1200 trees per acre advised, with pines on eroded soils and hardwoods where soil allows. County agents can advise suitable species. forest plantings provide long term income and fire livestock protection, though not immediate crop-like returns.

Electric Heating Cable Suggested In Cold Frame
Amateur gardeners can enjoy a small greenhouse by adding electric heating cable and thermostat. Cables and thermostats cost less than manure and heat use is economical with proper insulation and early spring start. Benefits include even heat, longer growing periods, and no deer pit preparation. The frame is sunk, cable laid on the bottom, and tied to a thermostat for steady minimum temperatures.
Big Crop Yields Bite Deep Into Soil Fertility
A Midwestern advisory cites 1948 corn belt yields draining soil nutrients. Minnesota led with 264 million bushels of corn removing 231,882 tons of N P K, while other crops used 92,187 tons. It urges higher replacement rates and improvements in soil management and fertility programs.
