Trees Help Ohio Erosion Control Efforts Expanded
Ohio farmers have mobilized millions of trees to fight soil erosion, with more than 24,000,000 planted to protect over 16,000 acres. Species include black locust hardwoods and conifers such as shortleaf, white, red, and pitch pines. Trees stabilize gullies and protect steep denuded lands, aiding erosion control across farm lands.

Farming Tips and Experiments From Illinois and Iowa
This sketch highlights a modern 10 by 24 foot float for improved seed beds behind tractors, costing under $50 and covering four acres per hour. It surveys farming practices from flushing ewes with better pasture to spraying for apple scab, silo beef yields, pullet feeding, harrowing corn, and winter poultry housing. It also notes melon income from early plantings, cross breeding hogs, and alfalfa field management with Sudan grass and rye seeding to extend feed.

Large Strawberry Acreage Predicted for 1939 Harvest
The 1939 U S strawberry acreage available for picking is forecast to be the largest since 1929, up about 7 percent from 1938 and above the 1927 36 average. Increases are noted across late, intermediate, and second early state groups, with early states possibly trimming acreage if yields match 1927 86 averages. If per acre yields reach the 1927 86 average, indicated acreage could produce about 400 million quarts, surpassing 1938 and the 1927 36 average by about 9 percent. Beds are in generally good condition but 1935 weather could influence 1939 yields and production, which the bureau expects to meet somewhat stronger demand than 1938.

Fall Weather Aids Ohio Bees in Winter Prep
Fall weather favors Ohio bees with good forage and sugar-rich honey. W E Dunham advises inspecting hives for food storage before winter in single story setups. Center frames should be half full of honey with solid honey on adjacent frames to prevent starvation. Empty frames move to the hive sides. Pack colonies now using slaters felt for insulation and three inches bottom, three to four inches sides, and eight inches top. Clover chaff and straw can insulate but may invite mice. seal entrances with a mouse board. Packing two hives as one unit can save labor and materials.

Conditions Favorable for Ohio Poultrymen
Ohio State University expert Guy W. Aller reports improved outlooks for poultry profits due to lower 1938 receipts and reduced cold storage, with feed more plentiful. He notes poultry is now a main farm enterprise and earlier high egg and meat prices were bolstered by large storage stocks.

Advice On Christmas Cactus Care In Old House Gardens
The Christmas cactus is an old fashioned house plant from Brazil in cultivation for 190 years. It needs rich soil with perfect drainage and light compost of fibrous leaf mold and sand. Water sparingly, keep in a sunny south window at 60 to 70 degrees, with monthly feedings when in growth and rest after flowering. Mealy bugs are the chief enemy. wipe leaves to reduce infestation. Ample bottom drainage and infrequent repotting support bloom longevity.
