Farmers plan large winter wheat sowings as New Mexico forecasts higher acreage and profits with a minimum $2 per bushel under the new food control law. County agents report 1000 bushels of seed bought for Cottonwood Artesia and Hope districts, with emphasis on early September planting and seed treatment to combat smut.
Guidance on seed treatment and planting dates for wheat in September, including spore control, drying grain, fertilization rates per acre, and equipment use. Advises early September planting for strong root hold, pasture steading in winter, and seed wheat procurement with weed bed preparation and rust prevention for farm machinery.
Wartime measures urge families to dry fruits and vegetables for winter storage. With tin can scarcity and sugar price hikes, the old practice returns, making dinner tables stocked with prepared foods from summer harvests. The article highlights this as a patriotic duty and essential household skill.
The Hope community can prevent waste by drying apples using sun drying, artificial heat, or air blast methods. Instructions cover sun trays, cheese cloth protection, home built driers, oven drying, and electric fan drying, plus salt pretreatment and temperature steps. For full details contact the U S Department of Agriculture Farmers Bulletin 841.
