“FARM TOPICS
~ First Come, First Served—Vege-
table gardeners who get their seed
orders in early stand the best
chance of getting their favorite
varieties, remind Penn State ex-
tension vegetable specialists.
Lists Feeding Practises—Dairy
farmers interested in economical
feeding for maximum production
will find a number of helpful sug-
gestions in Extension Circular 111,
which is available at the offices of
county agricultural agents.
Guide to Planting— Observant
growers noted buyer preference
during the recent sale of Christmas
determine selections for
new plantings to be made this
Spring. Pennsylvania leads all
states in home-grown yule trees.
Heavy Foreign Needs—Food ex-
ports may total one-tenth of our
entire agricultural production in
1948, the bulk of it in grains, fats,
and oils, with present indications
that foreign shipments under the
Marshall Plan will continue heavy
for at least four years.
Good Investment— Not much
equipment or space is needed to
organize a useful farm repair center.
A few hours time spent in sharpen-
ing and getting tools in shape, and
cleaning out waste material are a
good investment.

Check for Earthworms—Earth-
worms in house plant pots, unless
discovered and removed, may plug
up drainage holes and puddle the
soil.
Protect Evergreens—Tying ever-
greens and shrubs corn-shock
fashion, not too tightly, protects
them from being broken by snow
or ice.
Orchard May Need Lime—No or-
chard fertilizer practice is complete
or adequate unless proper soilscon-
ditions are created through the use
of required lime applications. To
determine lime requirements, make
soil tests. These can be made at
the office of the county agricultural
agent.
Suggest Lower Feed Hoppers—
Lowering the height of hoppers to
permit hens to stand on the floor
while eating encourages added mash
consumption and increases egg pro-
“duction. Hoppers must not be too
wide or too deep or some feed will
go uneaten and wasted.
Solve Labor Shortages—By using
built-up litter programs, chutes, and
hoists in poultry houses, many
Pennsylvania poultrymen are reduc-
ing their labor requirements.
Manure Protects Winter Grain—
A light top dressing of manure put
on winter grain when the ground
is frozen helps protect the young
plants.
Repair Farm Machines— Mowers
and other farm machines often re-
quire new bearings and other parts
which farmers can install them-
selves and save on repairs, say ex-
tension agricultural engineers.
