Start Working Areas Now That Have Weeds
Iowa State College extension plant pathologist E P Sylvester urges farmers to tackle large weed areas this year. Deep tillage, surface cultivation, and timely smother crops like soybeans and millet over 3 to 4 years can weaken perennials and prevent food storage in underground roots. Alfalfa afterward helps hold weeds in check and several species may be controlled by successive smother crops.

Good Laying House Is Way to Get More Eyes
Extension poultryman W R Whitfield of Iowa State College says housing affects pullet profitability in fall and winter. A good hen house, though costly, yields about half a dozen more eggs per hen per year and pays with interest. Poorly built houses risk molting and egg losses. better foundations and ventilation with insulation can be added later when materials are available.
