Farm Bureau Notes on Tractor Oil and Fertilizer Tips
A Farm Bureau note cites Iowa State College guidance on choosing correct cylinder oil to cut tractor costs. It urges using right viscosity oils, changing every 120 hours, and notes filters don’t remove fuel residue or water. Fertilizer recommendations cover seeding biennial crops with 0-20-0 or 0-45-0 phosphate, and alfalfa clover mixes with adjusted phosphate rates.

Drilling Soybeans Says Inches Apart Yields Best
Extension agronomist E. B. Dyas of Iowa State College reports that drilling soybean seed about an inch apart produces the highest yields across tested row widths from 21 to 42 inches. Manchu beans drilled solid at 2 bushels per acre gave the largest yields. Dense planting helps break crusts and buffers losses from cultivation or crusted soil. Mukden is advised for northern Iowa, maturing earlier with erect growth, while Manchu and Dunfield suit statewide planting. Illini matures later with slightly higher central to southern Iowa yields. Average Iowa yields in normal seasons run 18 to 22 bushels per acre. with good conditions 20 to 25 bushels is satisfactory.

Iowa agronomists urge spring manure spreading to conserve nitrogen
Experts at Iowa State College warn holding manure leads to nitrogen losses from ammonia during decomposition. Spreading in spring reduces storage losses as weather is cooler and moisture helps limit drying. Spreading soon after application on land that can be plowed or disced prevents nitrogen loss. Adoption of better manure conservation could save Iowa farmers about 25 million dollars annually.

Phosphate Fertilizer Should Be Incorporated For Best Seed Growth
Iowa State College agronomist Bruce M. Kilpatrick advises farmers to work phosphate fertilizer into soil before seeding small grains and legumes. He notes fertilizer movement is limited and roots must access the nutrients. Doubling tillage with a disc or harrow and using a drill can place fertilizer correctly. broadcast granular fertilizer offers an easier option with endgate feeders and lime spreaders.

Eggs and seeds guide for home diet and farming gains
March to June see peak egg production driving low prices and daily egg use. eggs supply nutrients including protein iron calcium phosphorus riboflavin and vitamins A D. Cooking tips emphasize gentle heat and slow methods for custards omelets and baked eggs. Round seed corn from butts middles and tips graded for uniformity yields similar seed value to flat seeds, with nine year Ohio experiments showing minimal yield and viability differences. Soybeans and corn impact soil minerals, nitrogen and calcium differently, with beans adding nitrogen and corn removing more phosphorus potassium calcium. AAA terraces in 1939 totaled over 67 000 miles and corn dominated farm crop value, while meat and livestock demand could rise with 1940 41 supply.

Benefits for wildlife through forest tree planting in 1941 AAA
Washington County farmers are urged by county agent J. W. Chandler to plant forest trees and shrubs for wildlife benefits under the 1941 AAA Farm Program.
