State Price Index
Steady in April,
CRS Reports
HARRISBURG Pennsylvania
farmers during April
higher prices for meat animals,
but lower prices for wholesale
milk iand feed grains to hold the
farm price index steady for the
month, according to the Pennsyl
vania Department of Agriculture.
In the monthly price report is
sued by the Pennsylvania Crop
Reporting Service, the meat ani
mal index as of April 15 showed
in increase of ten points over
March 15. This was attributed in
oart to the demand for lamb dur
ing the Lenten season. However,
farmers received an average of
S 4 70 for 100 pounds of milk on
April 15 in comparison with the
$4.95 -average of March 15. They
also received $25.10 per ton for
baled hay, 80 cents less per ton
than a month earlier. Lower
prices also were received for
chickens, corn and wheat.
The Pennsylvania price index
remains at 237 per cent of the
1910-14 base level. The parity in
dex remained unchanged at 80
points, the same as a year previ
ous.
On April 15, the report shows,
Pennsylvania farmers received
$2l a hundred pounds liveweight
for all calves. This was 70 cents
a hundred pounds above the
l5 price. On April 15, 1956
farmers averaged $18.70 per hun
dred pounds for calves.
Liveweight hog prices, at $17.70
a hundred pounds, were 40 cents
above the March 15 price and $3
above the March 15 price and $3
increases were reported for eggs,
sheep, beef cattle and apples.
Good Planning
Can Stop Odors
From Pasture
' Dairymen cannot afford to risk
milk rejections due to off-flavors
and odors during the early pas
ture season. This problem can be
largely eliminated by proper
management of the dairy herd
and pastures, according to
County Agent Max M. Smith
Introduce cows gradually to
pasture, County Agent Smith
says, by turning them out for
only .an hour or so for the first
several days of the season. It is
also important to remove cows
from the pasture at least three
hours prior to milking. Follow
this practice for two weeks after
grazing is started, especially if
rye is pastured.
Continue to feed fair amounts
of hay or silage until cows have
been on pasture for two to three
weeks, and do not abruptly re--
duce the amounts of grain fed,
or the protein content of the
grain mixture, for a similar
period
When pastures are infested
with garlic, onion, bitter-sweet,
honeysuckle, dogs fennel or
other flavor-tainting weeds, re
move cows from such pasture at
least six hours before milking,
Smith advises. Since this is often
impractical, it is best to use in
fested fields for pasturing young
stock or dry cows. Chemical
treatment and other weed con
trol measures may be 'used to
control garlic and other obnoxi
ous weeds.
Band Placing
Of Fertilizer
Best for Com
Proper placement of fertilizer
is the key (to good corn stands,
says Associate -County Agent
Harry S. Sloat. Research shows
that all fertilizers will cause
serious delay in seed germination
if placed one inch or closer to
the seed.
Agronomists recommend that
for safety, it should never be
placed and closer than two inch
es from the seed in any direc
tion. Generally, Sloat advises, a
good fertilizer placement would
be in a band two inches below
and two inches to the side of the
seed.
This placement of fertilizer
can not be accomplished by most
of the,“old split boot” fertilizer
attachments, he adds. ‘
Lancaster Farmi
Bee Keeper’s Meeting
(Continued from Page One)
He said that the location that
was best for the bee keeper was
the best place to set the hive. It
should be out of the way, but
accessable by car or truck. The
hive should be close to the ground
and in a spot providing good air
drainage. If possible it should
face the south or cast, and be set
m a sunny location.
Another question was about
whether bees will work on grapes.
Clark said that a whole uninsured
grape will not be bothered by a
bee, but that over-npe fruit is at
tractive to them.
Clark also said that it is useless,
economically, to try to plant crops
that will provide good honey flow.
' Burke and Clark said that pol
lination this year might not be
good because of the suddenness of
the bloom and because of the un
seasonal hot weather.
In the business session of the
meeting, the beekeepers voted to
contribute $lO to the American
Honey Institute to be used in pro
motional work.
It was announced that a joint
meeting of Dauphin, Berks, Leb
anon, and Lancaster County bee
keepers will be held at the Paul
Ziegler farm at 6 p. m., June 10.
The Ziegler farm is about one
half mile north of Bethel on
Route 22.
