Better Combine Harvests Seed A modified combine designed by USDA engineers in Oregon may play an important role in forage crop planting in Lancas ter County and other major agri cultural areas Engineers said the combine “gives tender loving care” to the seeds of such forage crops as crimson clover, bluegrass, or chardgrass, and ryegrass. Harvesting clover seed, the combine threshed 98 per cent of the seed with little or no dam age A conventional combine us ed as a control vehicle left 23 per cent of the seed unthreshed and two per cent of the seed damag ed Damaged seeds deteriorate fas ter than undamaged ones and are more susceptible to insects and diseases The more carefully treated seeds can make it easier for far meis to move toward precision planting of undamaged, high-ger minating seeds to get bigger yields while holding down costs. Costs generally are raised by a shoitage of labor and a short supply of hybrid seeds Bulk Feed Usage Grows Two Per Cent in 1969 For the thud straight year companies participating in the annual Feed Tonnage Reporting Service have indicated that 66 per cent of then tonnage was in complete feed and 34 per cent as supplements The survey, conducted by the American Feed Manufacturers Association, also showed that in 1969 feed companies distributed 61 per cent of their product in bulk, a rise of two per cent over the previous year In 1960 when the survey was initiated, report ing companies produced only 38 per cent of their product in bulk.
