An application of 20 to 30 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre over the plants during July or August should give strength to new run ners and increase fruit yields. This application should be made when the plants are dry in order to avoid burning the leaves. Ammonium nitrate is one of the good nitrogen fertilizers to use. In the home garden use about one-fourth pound of ammonium nitrate per 100 square feet of bed space. Good care of the strawberry plants this summer will bring about better yields next June. Barley Oats Wheats Milo These values represent the upper economical limit to pay for these alternative grains. If these grains are available at a cheaper price then they should be substituted for com, suggests Chester D. Hughes, Extension Livestock Agent. Producers who use a corn-soybean meal-base mix feeding program can gain more value from these grains, since these producers can take advantage of the high protein levels of these grains. Similar values for this type of program would be: cents/lb. 5.50 5.14 6.34 6.21 Barley Oats Wheat Milo To Beware of Lightning Danger Summer temperatures often bring severe thunder and lightning storms; we’ve had some in recent weeks, and no doubt there will be more to come. We urge parents to warn their youngsters of the danger of seeking shelter under a tree or swimming in a pond or creek before and during a storm. Safety in a truck, car or a building should be encouraged as the storm approaches as well as during the storm. Stay away from electric fences and farm equipment that is out in the open. Buildings with lightning rods should be checked to be sure the rods are grounded in moist soil and free of debris that would prevent the cable from taking the charge into the ground. To Reduce Feed Cost By Using Alternative Peed Grains Swine producers may be able to lower their feed cost by utilizing alternative feed grains. Using a value of $3.50 per bushel for com, the value of other grains to producers on a corn-supplement program are; bushel weight f/bushel 48 2.55 34 1.70 60 3.75 cents/lb. 5.31 5.00 6.25 6.25 bushel weight f/bushel 48 2.64 34 1.75 60 3.80 STILLWATER FARMS RFO2.
