A guide from Ben Vance of Iowa State College urges planning now for spring gardens. Start with a garden layout on paper, decide where each vegetable will grow, and consider cultivation method. List first plantings like onions, lettuce, radishes, cabbage, carrots and peas, then plan rest and space-saving double cropping.
Ralph Poynter releases analysis with Francis A. Kutish of ISU extension farm economics predicting large fed cattle on the market early 1952, heavier cattle weights, and potential price pressure through May. Hog runs east of the Mississippi show steady demand while late winter price rises may be limited. Turkeys and poults production expected to rise in January plans, with feed costs higher and beef competition increasing late in the year. Early-hatched poults likely most profitable amid tighter feed.

Also covered are soft corn moisture ranges, feeding value, and silage methods at Sumner, Tripoli, and Waverly venues from 1 15 to 3 15 pm, Feb 13 14 and 15.
