Ohio soybean seed emergency warns of poor germination
Columbus special reports Ohio's 1940 soybean crop faces reduced profits due to poor stands from low germination. Extension agronomist David F Beard urges farmers to plant only seed tested with high germination, adjust rates by test results, and consider seed from 1939 with caution. He notes certified seed has fallen to about 73 percent germination and outlines row and drilling rates to compensate.

Dairy department chief cites conflicting silage values changes
C C Hayden of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station notes difficulty giving exact relative silage values amid mixed reports. He says corn silage may have higher dry matter and nutrients, while hay crop silage could be lower in protein but higher in total nutrients when wilted, advising farmers to view silage options as alternatives rather than replacements and consider equal protein content.

Discing Suggested To Solve Problem Of Standing Water
Edward H. Faulkner argues for discing in organic matter as a method to reduce runoff and soil crusting. Nebraska studies show discing in and mulching outperform plowing, with discing in offering practical benefits by keeping matter away from cultivation gear and improving infiltration and drainage. The article notes sun-based soil restoration ideas linked to Pinchot and suggests field conditions favor discing in to curb surface runoff and standing water.

Alfalfa and Clover Mixture Outperforms Singles for Hay Yield
Ohio agronomist C J Willard advises growers to sow both alfalfa and red clover with timothy to hedge against variable seasons. Trials across 12 farms show the alfalfa clover timothy mix outyielded pure alfalfa or clover with timothy. Farmers already use the combination in many counties, citing improved annual yields.
