much of this sludge there could be
a build-up of the heavy metal
content in the soil and result in
being toxic to plants Most
chemical tests of the sludge will
reveal the limitations per acre We
encourage the use of sewage
sludge as a farm fertilizer, as long
as the land owner knows the
limitations.
TO PLAN FOR
SEEDING LEGUMES
It’s not too soon to be making
plans for seeding clover or alfalfa
seeds in winter gram Many of our
good stands have been obtained by
making a split seeding broadcast
into the winter wheat. One of these
to be done m late February and the
second one the early part of
March. When we make these
broadcast seedmgs in gram we
count on the alternate freezing and
thawing of the soil to work the
small seeds into the topsoil This is
the reason for broadcasting the
seeds very early in the spring.
Wheat is usually the best gram mto
which the seeding is to be made.
Barley and Rye tend to get too
much growth along with the
greater danger of lodging and
smothering out the small legume
plants If the broadcast method is
to be used, it should be done by the
middle of March The use of the
band-seeding method later in
March might be a better way to
establish a new legume stand

ELECTRIC FEED PROCESSOR
EAR COR
Automatic’s ear corn unit handles
wet, shucky and even frozen ear
corn The crusher unit shreds the *ii
cob followed by rollers that crack
the corn, producing a flaky, dust
free feed for greater digestibility
The hydraulically driven intake
auger swings to the rear for
transport and may be operated at
any angle from rear to side
Dust-free rolled grain is more
palatable, easier to digest,
eliminates wheezing and many
digestive disorders
