Best Ration One That Has Variety
Variety may be essential to life and protein quality matters as much as quantity in feeds. Corn lacks two essential amino acids, so pigs fed only corn show no growth. Animal proteins from meat milk and eggs provide complete amino acids, while cereals are less efficient. Soybeans and peanuts offer high quality proteins. alfalfa alone may lack cystine.

Fine Profit From Lambs Fed Alfalfa and Grain
Six hundred Rambouillet lambs fattened at the Belle Fourche field station in Newell South Dakota and sold at Sioux City Iowa yielded $10 per ton for alfalfa and 70 to 88 cents per hundred pounds for grain. Delivered cost was $4 per hundred and they sold for $6.35 at Sioux City, the top fat lamb price of the day. Dressed yields ranged 49.4 to 61 percent with one call and nine culls. Sixty percent graded medium to good and thirty eight percent good to choice. higher grades missed mainly due to excess weight.

Potato Notes on Planting and Care From American Agriculturist
Seed potatoes should be planted using one ounce pieces about 31 inches apart. Treat seed potatoes infected with scab or rhizoctonia. Fertilizer applied two to three inches from the seed piece yields best results, on the same or slightly lower plane. Cultivate deeply early, then shallow near roots. avoid late deep cultivation. Begin Bordeaux spray when plants reach six to eight inches and apply every week or ten days. twenty years of testing supports spraying.
To Kill Botflies Use Carbon Disulphide on Horses
United States Department of Agriculture endorses carbon disulphide in gelatin capsules to remove bots from horses. Feed is withheld for 18 hours before dosing, capsules given by hand or balling gun, most effective in winter. A wash of 2 percent coastal creosote applied to all parts destroys eggs. Nebraska Farmer reports this method.

Soybeans and Sheep Pasture Technique for Lamb Gains
Soybeans may be profitably pastured by sheep when pods form and foliage remains green. Some advise drilling oats barley and soybeans before corn planting. About July 1, fence fields with woven wire and movable supports and pasture portions. 810 lambs pastured July 5 to August 25 gained about 60 pounds each and neared market readiness.
Orchard Pest Control Through Cleanliness and Sprays
H R Niswonger advises thorough orchard cleaning to cut insect and disease pest exposure. Rake and burn or plow under fallen leaves and storage refuse to curb apple scab and codling moth hibernation. Use lime sulfur and oil sprays to control San Jose scale and other insects. remove weak trees or top-work with better stock.

Soil Zone Effects on Corn Fertilization Yields
Ohio experiment station studies find fertilizer placement drastically changes corn stand. Direct contact or just above seed is most damaging. 400 lb acre of 4-12-4 in 4x8 inch areas cuts stands 33% in 1930 and 45% in 1931. Bands 1% inch above seed yield better stands, and split bands 2 by 5 inch apart achieve near perfect stands in 1931.

Care of Ewes for Strong Lambs From Nutritious Rations
Pregnant and nursing ewes need mineral and protein rich feed and ample exercise. Clover or alfalfa hay provides the cheapest nutrients, with turnips offering tonic effects at three pounds per head daily alongside hay. Salt should be available, and balanced rations with legume hay typically supply calcium and phosphorus.
Farmers Favor Silage in Nebraska Survey
Ninety nine of one hundred Nebraska farmers who built and used trench silos last year say they were worthwhile. Ninety five of a hundred will reuse silos if crops are poor, eighty two would reuse even with good crops. Eighty eight percent call silage a much better feed than dry corn fodder. Sixty two fed it with alfalfa, twenty with cottonseed cake, twenty with oats straw or other straw.

Agricultural Squibs Note Rising Corn Area and Farm Trends
Argentina reports a 5 percent increase in corn area from last year. Edgecombe county North Carolina farmers sold 89 210 pounds of fat hogs for 3 485 46 in a cooperative shipment. Wisconsin farm equipment valuation is 16 65 per acre. New York and Pennsylvania exceed this. Vermont agents made 8 856 farm visits to 4 746 farms and answered 13 146 farmer inquiries by phone. Heavy poultry breeds have yielded higher profits than lighter breeds for three years in Ohio. Seed quality is emphasized. buy locally if possible and otherwise purchase seed from one’s state while readily available.
