Two Essentials of Sweet Clover
An agricultural note explains when to plow under biennial sweet clover grown for soil building. It details two key benefits: organic matter accumulation and nitrogen supply, noting peak nitrogen around May 1 in the second year and how turning under in April can furnish ample nitrogen for a 100 bushel corn crop. It also covers practical timing to minimize weed problems and maximize soil benefits for the same year’s crop.

Harvesting and Storing Navy Beans for Winter
Navy beans should be harvested and threshed as soon as ready and if infested with bugs may be treated by several methods. Fumigation with carbon bisulphide at about one ounce per bushel in a tight container at 75 degrees or above. The chemical is flammable and fires must be kept away. Heating for an hour at 125 to 180 degrees kills insects. Seed can be stored by mixing one part all-sliked lime with twice the quantity of seed.
Birds Cut Insects in Garden and Orchard
A USDA letter argues for boosting birds to control pests in gardens and orchards. It cites 2000 nests on Baron von Berlepsch estate in Germany and notes the estate avoided leaf-roller damage, while other estates suffered defoliation. The letter credits Jixpersen for showing increased birds bring satisfaction rather than regret.

Alfalfa Fall Cutting Boosts Winter Survival
Fall cutting of alfalfa improves winter hardiness and yields. A growth of at least one foot before winter provides protection and food storage in roots, enabling vigorous start next year. Farmers cite experimental data supporting this practice as sound farm method.
Farm tips and notes from Ohio extension service
Farm hints cover seed selection for lodging crops manure weathering and weed seed survival. Tractors replace draft horses slowly while legumes and other crops protect soil. Painting buildings is due in fall and soy stems feed horses. Ohio farm boys and girls numbered 24 595 join 12 farm clubs statewide.

Manure Application Guidance for Limited Supplies
The guidance advises saving and applying manure economically. It states manure is not a balanced plant food and not produced to meet all needs. When supply is limited, apply four to six tons per acre across the field rather than heavy use on small areas. Efficiency rises with smaller, broader applications.
