Two Essentials of Sweet Clover for Soil Building
An agricultural note explains when to plow under sweet clover used for soil building. It discusses two benefits: organic matter maximum in year two and peak nitrogen supply around May 1, with roots storing nitrogen and transferring it to tops in spring. Plowing in April adds substantial nitrogen for a corn crop and reduces late weed issues when biennial clover is plowed after spring growth.

Harvesting and Storing Navy Beans for Winter
Navy beans should be harvested and threshed promptly. If infested with bugs, fumigation with carbon bisulfide at about one ounce per bushel in a tight container is effective when Td degrees or higher. Keep away from fires. Heating at 125 to 180 degrees for one hour also kills insects. Store seed by mixing one part air slaked lime with twice the quantity of seed.
Birds Control Insects in Garden and Orchard
A USDA letter argues birds reduce garden and orchard pests. It cites 2000 nests on the Baron von Berlepsch estate in Germany and notes the estate escaped leaf rollers while others were defoliated. The letter concludes that increasing birds brings satisfaction, not regret.

Fall Cutting Boosts Alfalfa Winter Hardiness and Yields
Cutting alfalfa in fall increases winter tolerance and yields next season. A growth of at least one foot before frost provides protection and stores food in roots, enabling vigorous start and maximum hay production. Farmers’ experience and experimental data support this best practice for harvesting alfalfa.
Manure Use Suggests Broad but Sparse Applications
The passage notes manure is not a balanced plant food yet should be saved and used economically. It states supply is limited and not enough for all farmers. Recommendation: apply four to six tons per acre across the field rather than heavy spots, as efficiency per ton improves with smaller uniform applications.
Cleaning Machines Remove Most Weeds
The Vermont experiment station reports that seed cleaning greatly reduces weed seed contamination though some fine seeds still carry weed kernels. Certificates from seedsmen are generally accurate though variances occur. Modern cleaning methods markedly improve seed purity, as shown by a nationwide sample study from the Vermont station.

Farm notes on seeds manure crops and more
A survey of farm practice notes covers seed selection lodging, manure loss to weathering, weed seed longevity, and crop rotation. It notes tractors persist but draft horses remain essential, tegs legumes alternative crops, and soil recycling through returning plant food. It adds painting of buildings in fall and soy bean stems unpalatable to cows but edible for horses. Ohio farm clubs 24,595 strong across 12 programs.

Poultry Facts on Cleaning Up for Fall Profits
The article urges poultry raisers to cull nonproducers, tighten management, and boost pullet conditioning to maximize winter egg output. It stresses feeding quality, proper rations, and monitoring for errors to ensure strong laying hens and higher profits as cold weather approaches.
Handling of Pullets in Autumn Requires Skill
No one thing requires more skill than the correct handling of a flock of pullets to obtain maximum egg yield through winter. Birds must be fat, fed large quantities of hard grain, with three-fourths of the diet as grain. If milk is fed, mash can be reduced. Provide plenty of green food. Once the first eggs appear on the range, move one-third to one-half of the best developed birds to winter quarters. Prolonged range after laying begins may trigger a fall melt. remaining birds should then join them in winter quarters.

How Oil Drowns Wigglers in Mosquito Breeding Pools
Mosquito wigglers drown when oil dissolves the fatty secretions in their breathing tubes. Dr David Keilin at Molteno Institute in South Africa and Sir Arthur E Shipley in London report larvae breathe through external tubes. oil dissolves the protective secretions, flooding the air passages and causing death.

Cement Demand Prompting Large Scale Sack Output
Manufacturers must produce about 250 million sacks annually to meet the nation's cement demand. This target underscores the scale of industrial output needed and the critical role of packaging in supply chains.
Balanced Dry Mash Prevents Soft Shell Egg Disease
Use of a balanced dry mash with 2 per cent ground limestone plus oyster-shell hopper reduces soft shelled eggs. Egg production fails may signal hens needing culling and replacement with vigorous birds to avoid trouble.
