A preview of the International Live Stock Exposition at the Chicago Stock Yards from Nov 29 to Dec 6 features 12,000 animals, top beef breeds Shen Shorthorn Hereford Angus, large swine and draft horse entries, and the International Horse Show. Canadian and American judges lead contests with 4-H and Future Farmers of America youths active in judging and congress events.
The department of agriculture calls on farmers nationwide to sell scrap metal for defense production. Secretary Wickard directs state defense boards to organize plans and enlist county boards in this effort immediately.
Mr. Wickard warns the National Defense program is seriously threatened by actual and impending shortages of iron and steel scrap. He notes civilian steel shortages will worsen if mills cannot run at capacity, stressing farms as long-time scrap sources and urging patriotic duty to free scrap for use.
Professor E. E. De Turk explains legume crops reveal nutrient stress mainly through slow growth and chlorosis when nitrogen phosphorus or potash are deficient. Nitrogen causes pale greens and stunted growth, phosphorus slows development, while potash shows distinct yellow edge mottling and curling leading to leaf death.
C. S. Rhode, extension dairy specialist, cautions that an all out dairy production program must be tempered with careful feeding. He warns against overfeeding high protein rations, short dry periods, and mineral neglect. Recommendations include balancing grain to roughage, bone meal when needed, and a dry spell of one to six weeks.
Lindley G. Cook, Rutgers extension soil conservationist, urges contour farming, strip cropping and terracing to boost 1942 yields for national defense. He says American farmers must produce more food than ever and that conservation practices raise yields while avoiding wasteful wartime methods.
Lines bending and swinging around the circle show soil conservation works and losses. Dr. H. H. Bennett of the U S department of agriculture reports progress with the contour method in the region of straight line plowing. More than half the corn in Montgomery County Iowa was planted on contour this year with none continued in 1937.
