Ohio orchard owners blame April and May freezes for damage to fruit trees, but plant pathologist A L Pierstorff of Ohio State University says fire blight is the real cause. The bacterial disease affects apple and pear trees and spreads via bees and aphids, with control measures including timely sprays, removing diseased wood, avoiding summer pruning, and disinfecting tools.

Phosphate Silage and Wheat Feeding Findings From Research
Phosphoric acid treated silage from alfalfa soybeans and red clover is favored by H E Babcock of the American Agriculturist. Missouri tests show feeding wheat yields more pork than corn and that cracking wheat saves grain per cwt while higher protein reduces supplement needs. Cornell reports no effective drug cures for pullorum disease and related poultry illnesses. West Virginia stations promote sod mulches in apple orchards to boost soil organic matter and reduce erosion, advising extra mulch where shade limits natural mulch.

Mow Pastures Guidance From West Virginia Experiment Station
The West Virginia Experiment Station urges mowing pastures twice yearly. The first cut should occur at the end of the June bluegrass season and the second in late summer or early fall to remove broomsedge and other weeds before seeding.

Reports Dairy Herd Work Profitable
An investment of over a million dollars yearly by about 24,000 dairymen in herd improvement associations boosts members’ income by roughly eight million dollars annually. Over 10 years the improved herds yield about 30 extra pounds of butterfat per cow per year, with association herds averaging 319 pounds versus 170 for all cows, and the aim now is to spread superior genetics and practices to all dairies.
