Agronomists warn liming acid soils is essential for good alfalfa results. A Wisconsin field shows lighter growth where lime was insufficient after a misapplied spread, while limed areas yielded 6,100 pounds of hay per acre versus 1,400 on acid soil, with protein gains from 11.5 percent to 14.5 percent.
Beef cattle in the United States have risen over the past three years with 52.3 million head on January 1, 1952, a record but below the 1949 population, while slaughter and prices shift. Population grows about 2 percent annually, but cattle numbers rise faster, creating potential risks from demand, range conditions, or feed shortages for the next year.
A 16 foot long gate with balanced top pole height pivots near the ends. It forks at both bottom ends and can be released with a single lever. The gate opens in either direction and requires no lifting, solving the problem of sheep crowding into a corner.
Ohio counties along the Ohio river started strawberry picking last week and northern counties begin this week. Vernon Patterson of Ohio State University says the crop will supply home grown berries through June. Commercial plantings reach 2 000 to 2 500 acres annually with yields of at least 3 000 quarts per acre to cover costs.
University agronomists show no single element can feed corn. Nitrogen phosphate and potash must work with lime and good soil. Rotations with legumes and well-drained, mellow soil enhance nutrient use and raise bushels per acre.
High yielding hybrid corn and improved grain varieties deplete nitrogen in midwestern soils faster than legumes can replenish it. Dr. B H Tyner of the University of Illinois warns that continued yields require nitrogen from fertilizer or manure in addition to legume contributions.
Tentative programs for two field days at the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station are announced. Turkey day on June 26 follows the 32nd poultry day on June 25. The events feature a turkey barbecue, research project inspections, and discussions on nutrition and egg production with Ohio State University staff.

Crowding of root crops leads to small misshapen roots says horticulturist E C Wittmeyer of Ohio State University. Thin beets carrots radishes turnips while soil is moist. turnips need three inches between plants. Greens can be harvested from larger beets. lettuce peas Swiss chard need less thinning.
Maple bladder galls on silver maples are caused by tiny mites and rarely cause serious damage. Trees keep growing despite bumps, though some owners worry. Spraying with lime sulfur before spring growth can kill overwintering mites. after galls appear, control is impractical.
Ohio State University entomologist T H Parks warns wheat weevils could multiply rapidly, with calculations showing two pests yielding 60 000 offspring in four months. He says 100 pairs could contaminate about 1 400 bushels of grain, potentially unfit for food under FDA rules, as the Ohio Quality Wheat Committee launches education efforts.
A committee promotes a comprehensive pest control program to protect grain from rodents and weevils. It urges cleaning bins, using residual sprays, harvesting dry grain, applying protectants during storage or fumigation, and keeping grain storage rodent free to cut annual losses estimated near three million dollars.
