Town State College extension poultry specialist W. R. Whitfield notes wheat can replace half of corn and oats in grain rations, and ground wheat may replace oats or corn in mash. Do not replace both oats and corn in one mash, as too much wheat may slow growth. Include vitamin A via alfalfa or green feeds when corn is reduced.

Plant warm season crops mid May. sow beans cucumbers melons peppers squash and tomatoes after mid May with a Victory Garden fertilizer mix for early growth. The earliest sweet corn varieties should be planted to harvest earlier.

Plant phosphate 0 20 0 near seeds with rows slightly deeper than seed level. Wait at least three weeks before a second sweet corn planting and space later plantings about 18 days apart until early July. Provide ample holes for roots and avoid crowding. Do not plant near field corn or popcorn to prevent cross maturity. germination is good in medium light soil. Place one seed every 12 inches if using untreated seed and thin crowded rows.
