Cold frames serve multiple fall and early spring purposes including creating seed beds for summer sowings and aiding late planting of perennials. They protect wintering bulbs like hyacinths tulips narcissus and amaryllis and allow root formation in a dark cool space. Foxgloves Canterbury bells and poppy anemones benefit from wintering in frames, while careful tuber top placement and deep soil planting are advised for strong spring growth.
Dodd of Ohio State University urges winter work on pastures for better next year forage. One dollar spent can yield three to six dollars in returns with proper fertilizers. Bluegrass fields respond to 250 pounds per acre of sulphate of ammonia between January 1 and April 1, while white clover mixtures benefit from 400 to 500 pounds per acre of phosphate fertilizer. Fall and winter work is feasible with minimal leaching loss, and overseeding can raise average pasture feed to about 15 bushels of corn, with good pastures reaching triple that output. Hybrid corn introduction boosts yields 15 to 20 percent, translating to five to 20 bushels per acre, while pasture plans could reach about 30 bushels per acre in potential gains.

Belmont county farm agent RW Lang notes some cows yield up to 690 pounds of butterfat yearly, yet the county average for 18000 cows is under 200 pounds. He outlines a six point plan to improve efficiency, including pasture, alfalfa, tailored grain, culling underperformers, selective herd size, and joining a herd improvement association. The committee plans meetings to explain the program to farmers.
In Columbus on November 2 an extension horticulturist suggests feeding mice crushed oats or diced vegetables and fruit with a touch of strychnine to save Ohio apple trees.

Small, mouse-exclusive bait stations placed along mice runways near apple trees under mulch are recommended for effective control.
Secretary Wallace explained how the 1938 Agricultural Adjustment Act links corn loans to the corn plan. The rate will follow a sliding scale with supply, not department choice, officials said, and loans will be based on the act formula as farmers wonder about the upcoming rate.

President is Dr H O Frederick, vice president C W Rittenour, and secretary treasurer Homer Bohl. The group aims to match federal indemnities after May 1939 and oversee testing on Ohio cattle.
Ohio farm homemakers face shopping challenges as new power lines expand access to electrical appliances.
