Legume Hays Offer a Cheaper Protein Says Feeds Expert
Washington reports dairy expert F R Dawson of the U S Department of Agriculture says legumes have long been valued for protein and that only 41 percent of U S hay is legume. He argues legume hays in north central and north Atlantic states could cut feed costs, citing 1927 yields showing alfalfa vastly outproduces timothy in protein and nutrients. He notes alfalfa at $24 per ton provides digestible protein cheaper than timothy or high protein concentrates and urges farmers to prioritize legume hay to lower dairy rations.

Grow Minute Wasps to Fight European Corn Borer Menace
Urbana Illinois December 12 Battalions of tiny wasps are being mobilized in Illinois to combat the European corn borer and other grain pests. Dr Stephen A Forbes of the Illinois natural history survey says the parasitic wasps attack host eggs, destroying pests like the ear worm and cabbage worm. Laboratory rearing yields 10 000 to 25 000 daily and millions are expected to bivouac in corn fields before the borer arrives in large numbers.
