Washington County Farm Bureau Notes and Spray Notices

The Washington county allotment committee reports a state board of review request to have all corn-hog contracts by April 1. Due to sending orchard spray notices by personal letter this spring, notices will be sent only to those who request them, with names and addresses to be sent promptly. The article lists preliminary dormant sprays for apples, peaches, plums, and black raspberries, plus an extra apple scab spray if weather is rainy. It also covers club leadership notes and a 4-H leaders training session led by Edward Lyndegard and others, including a planning meeting for a 4-H club camp.

Ruling Allows Purchasing Breeding Stock for Hog Program
