Top-Dressing Nitrogen Boosts Wheat Yields
Agricultural notes from Purdue and Ohio stations discuss spring nitrogen top-dressing benefits for wheat and crabgrass control in lawns. Purdue reports about 50 bushels per acre yield increase from 100 lbs nitrate of soda on an April application at Bedford. Ohio Wooster findings show high mowing reduces crabgrass by limiting growth.

Reed’s canary grass boosts wetland pasture across the Midwest
The idea began in Wisconsin and now most midwest experiment stations advise reed canary grass for boggy pastures. It tolerates wet feet, yielding ample pasture or hay and forming a durable sod to resist grazing animals and machinery. At Cornell, mortality in laying flocks is reduced by culling breeders whose pullets lack ruggedness. one hen with high offspring loss would have been chosen as best for her pullet record of 277 eggs versus 207 eggs for the other hen’s daughters.

Lime as Fertilizer For Soil Improvement
L. D. Bauer of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station says lime can act as a fertilizer by supplying calcium essential for healthy plant growth. Leaching removes lime yearly. crops like corn, wheat, clover, and alfalfa demand lime. Neutralizing soil acidity improves conditions, boosts soil organisms, humus formation, and legume nitrogen fixation.

Milk Prices Set For September In Cleveland Area
Dairy farmers supplying Cleveland with milk will receive about one dollar per cwt for roughly 25 percent of the milk delivered in September. Bottled milk costs 2.23 per cwt, about 48 cents per quart, while skimmed milk for sweet cream yields about 1.40 per cwt. Manufactured products like butter and cheese will be delivered at a loss. Hauling from farm to city runs around 30 cents per cwt. Prices for manufacture and storage are the lowest since 1935 due to high production, large stockpiles, and limited consumer income.

Late Potatoes Can Be Stored For Winter Use
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station workers report early potatoes can be stored if cooled to 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower by mid November. Use a bin with slatted floors and walls to allow air circulation around the tubers, then ventilate properly so early potatoes stay dormant into January. The rising acreage and slower consumption have left some growers holding crops for better August prices.
