Farm Bureau Notes on Clover Crops and Sorgo Feeding Advice
Iowa reports bigger red clover seed this year while national output falls 27 percent. Dyas of Iowa State College cites federal forecasts showing 1,343,000 bushels of red clover seed nationally, with prices from 14 to 14.50 per 100 pounds in mid September. Alsike and sweet clover crops also vary, with losses expected in alsike and a rise in sweet clover seed production and prices. Beresford warns on immature sorgo moisture and the need to dry before ensiling to prevent laxative effects on cattle.

Store Apples and Lime Help For Iowa Farmers
Iowa State College horticulturists urge fall storage of apples due to good crop and rising prices from the European war. Store in clean boxes at 34 to 46 degrees F, select sound fruit, wrap with oiled paper to prevent scald, and use shredded oiled paper between apples. Early varieties keep to December, later to February or March. The irrigation of lime under the Iowa County Limestone Law aids farmers by enabling lime purchases via county boards, with installment payments and county bargaining, quarry contracts, or county quarries, while ensuring transportation and cost efficiency.

Iowa New Feed Formula Suggests Sorgo Silage Works For Cattle
Rex Beresford of Iowa State College advises feeding sorgo silage or fodder with 25 percent more grain and 1 to 1 1/2 ounces of ground limestone or mineral mix per head daily. He notes sorgo silage yields more per acre but less feed value per ton than corn, and stresses adequate calcium and phosphorus with a mineral blend of limestone, bone meal and salt. He adds the best silage is cut at medium to hard dough stage, as mature grain reduces value.

Strip Rotation Saves Soil and Moisture in Farmland
The Soil Conservation Service reports on strip rotation tested at Pennsylvania State College Farm. Across slopes, converting corn rows to run across the hill reduced annual soil loss from 43 tons to about one half, and with rotation the loss dropped to about 1.5 tons a year. Water loss followed a similar pattern, while plowing strips back into rotation helped restore organic matter and fertility.
