Farming Facts Worth Knowing in Florida Dairy Barns
A Florida dairy barn shows heat management with weather-tight shutters and a central feed carrier aiding efficiency. The design suggests winter warmth comparable to northern barns and hints at expansion northward due to lower costs and less dampness. A zinc sulphate boron spray once used against little leaf in Oregon orchards cut recurrence for peach and cherry diseases after three seasons.

Soil loss contrasts corn and alfalfa on Iowa field
Page County Iowa shows 26 tons per acre per year soil loss in continuous corn over seven years versus 80 pounds per year with alfalfa. Contour planting drops losses to about 3 tons per acre yearly. Wisconsin tests advise pig rations with soil access and bonemeal or half bonemeal half limestone at 1.5 percent. higher 256 is unnecessary.

Protein sources boost pullet growth and egg output
Texas Experiment Station findings show plant protein concentrates such as cottonseed meal and soybean meal yield better pullet growth than canal-sourced proteins, while high animal protein levels reduce peak size and egg production. Ohio corn averages 38 bushels per acre, costing about $16 per acre to grow. fertilization raises yield by 16 bushels per acre at 17c per bushel. Aphids threaten South grown cabbages. home plants resist but must be inspected. Nicotine spray, fumigation, and pyrethrum treatments control aphids, with field outbreaks managed by removing isolated plants and spraying patches.

Wheat Growers Warned Not To Plant Too Much Wheat
Ohio State University rural economics expert Dr. W R Wertz warns farmers against expanding fall wheat plantings despite wartime price optimism. He cites record world wheat stocks and stable consumption, arguing a large U S crop may not raise farm income if supplies remain ample and prices resist rising. He notes past wartime shortages took years to develop and urges caution.

Lack Of Care For Farm Machinery Is Costly
Ohio farmers spend millions on farm tools yearly but spend little when machines are idle. W G Applegate notes wear from wind, rain, frost and snow persists in fall and that shelter and regular adjustment reduce need for new equipment. He warns poorly maintained tractors and binders underperform without proper servicing.

Mulch Practice Cited As Insulation On Two Plots
In 1938 observers note straw mulch kept at three inches deep on two plots, functioning to trap heat and act as insulation much as a roof in a house, aiding in cooling by reducing hot air buildup.
Few Ohio Farmers Get Diagnosis Of Soil Condition
Ohio agronomist F J Salter notes only about 3 000 of over 250 000 farmers use the soil diagnosis service annually while spending over 10 million dollars on fertilizers and lime. He cites farmers overusing or misusing lime and fertilizers, and explains free analyses by county agents and the university soil lab. Extension service offers soil sampling guidance and field meetings on lime needs and machinery care through county agents.

Many Factors Important In Egg Grading
Several factors such as breeding feeding and flock management determine egg market quality but premarketing care offers the greatest returns. Key steps include clean nests and ample nesting material gathering eggs three to four times daily in wire containers and cooling promptly in a holding room. Maintain 40 to 70 degrees F with high humidity, as humidity helps keep temperature below 70 in hot weather and supports higher grades. Tests at Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station show eggs graded U S Extras with added moisture but U S Standards when moisture was cut.
