Agricultural Notes on Silos and Feed Management
The notes discuss using silos as a farm lighthouse for handling soybeans, beans, and hay as legumes. Dairy cows benefit from grain when pastures are short, and dairymen may save by purchasing high protein concentrates for winter. Volunteer wheat and Hessian fly risk are noted, with silage quality affected by airtightness and moisture. Continuous cropping worsens insect damage.
Farm notes on storage, crops, and livestock practices
Guidance on onion curing and storage in field conditions, soy and beans cultivation on tight soils, rye as nurse crop for seed, and cow feeding to maximize profits. Also mentions costs, manure types, and carrot spacing for production efficiency.
Sweet Clovers Offer New Forage Varieties and Breeds
Agricultural researchers report ongoing development of better hay varieties of white and yellow sweet clover. New strains from western Canada resemble alfalfa, with multiple stems and improved hardiness for cold dry regions. Efforts aim to suit acid soils drought conditions and extend green feed into late fall and early spring.

Sweet Clover Boosts Wheat Yield in North Dakota Field

Agricultural Tips From an Old Stock Almanac
Agricultural facts discuss soy beans with corn as insurance against imperfect stands. Cull slow-maturing pullets so they improve with age. Harvest silage early if frost affects corn. Dairy and cattle prices are rising toward a 1981 peak. Silos are inexpensive and sizing should emphasize capacity. Use nurse crops with sweet clover and sow thin. Do not risk defective fruit in exhibits. Face baskets protect fruit and improve package appeal.
Lime and Clean Cultivation Aid Fruit Tree Mice Guard
The note suggests applying lime this winter and spreading lime next spring. Clean cultivation is cited as a key safeguard against mice damage to fruit trees.
Standards for poultry and egg quality adopted by USDA
The United States Department of Agriculture notes the need for uniform poultry and egg standards to reduce market disputes. It outlines three egg grades and inspection arrangements, with live poultry inspections centered in New York City and egg inspections in major cities, plus Missouri.

Agricultural Notes on Crops and Farming Practices
Agricultural brief highlights crop tips and farming basics. Sheep act as weed killers and soy beans provide valuable oil for paints. Three L’s lime legumes and live stock guide success. Onions stored in crates improve bulb circulation. Seed potatoes should be saved for seed. Alfalfa supports dairy feeds. nitrogen fertilizer advised during cold, leaching soils.
Value of forages compared by protein content in rain
A ton of cottonseed priced at 31 dollars yields about 860 pounds of protein while a ton of alfalfa hay at 20 dollars yields around 220 pounds of protein. Protein value per pound is higher for alfalfa, equivalent to two pounds of cottonseed in rain.

Cutting Canada Thistle by Phases of the Moon
Purdue extension expert A A Hansen notes that Moon signs and zodiac lore do not eradicate Canada thistle but may influence timing of cutting. He cites cutting when heads first show purple to slow seed spread, though wind-dispersed seeds still start new patches far from parent plants.

Silage Should Be Used With Other Roughages
The article cautions that silage alone does not provide best results for farm animals. It should be combined with other roughages and grains in varying proportions based on animal type, condition, and feeding goals. Even though silage is cheap and plentiful, true economy comes from deliberate feeding plans.
Neglected Pasture Lands Highlight Fertility Decline
The article argues that large tracts of pasture land are not improving fertility as expected. It notes that despite bluegrass and clover, weeds and inferior grasses proliferate, disproving the idea that pasture maintains fertility without deliberate feed cultivation and fertilization.
Hog Hogs Benefited From Fresh Peaches Feed
Report notes thousands of bushels of peaches fed to hogs this year. The practice helped clear surplus fruit and improved hog condition.
