Thin And Prune
10 Help Timber

Thinning and pruning pine plant
ings improve the timber crop, says
Forest Dean, Ohio State University
extension forester. He cites meas
urements in experimental WoodlotS
where trees in thinned plots grew
2 to 8 times faster than those in
unthinned lots.
Dean advises farmers to select
$50 to 300 of the best timber trees
on each acre, then thin any tree
that crowds these. He warns that
overthinning may cause wind and
sun scald as well as ice and snow
damage.
Trimmings may be used for poles,
posts, pulpwood and Christmas
trees.
To prune trees saved for the tim
Der crop, the specialist recon-
mends cutting out all dead branch
es plus one live whor1 each year.
He suggests regular pruning until
the lower 18 feet of the tree trunk
is clear of branches.
More information on pruning and
thinning woodlots is available by
writing to Forest Dean, Ohio Agri-
cultural Experiment St tion,
Wooster, Ohio.

Livestock Injury
Takes Meat From
One-HaIf Million

Enough livestock are bruised,
crippled or killed daily on their
way to market to furnish the daily
meat needs of half a million people
according to c. w. Hammans.
The Ohio State University ex-
tension marketing specialist says
careless handling of livestock re-
suits in losses of about a hundred
tons of beef, lamb and pork a day.
That means lower prices for the
producer and higher costs for the
consumer, he adds. Bruised meat
can't be eaten and requires extra
labor to trim out.
Most bruising occurs in the high
est priced cuts. About 81 percent
OF the bruises on hogs are in the
hams, while As percent of the cat
tie bruises are in the Ioins.
Hanrnans says losses from bruis-
ing and crippling are due to care
lessness. To prevent it he urges
handlers to use a canvass slapper
instead Of clubs and canes to drive
animals. Broken boards and pro-
truding nails from fences, door
ways, trucks and farm loading
chutes are common sources of in
jury.
Farmers can help reduce these
losses by removing machinery and
junk from feedIots and barnyards.
They also can cut losses by de-
horning then cattle. Easiest way to
do this is to stop young calves
horn growth with caustic.
The specialist urges haulers to
use a sand base for truck bedding.
This helps keep cattle from slip
ping and falling. Animals also need
protection from the weather when
they are hauled, he reminds. In
summer provide shade and ventil-
alton. In winter, use a hooded
truck or a canvas over the front
end and the sides of the truck rack
and over the top of the front third
of the rack. Also provide plenty of
bedding over the sand base
Livestock travel best on a light
fill, so Hammans urges farmers
and naulers TO avoid heavy feeding
of animals before loading. Finally,
he says, load carefully, don't hur-
ry them up chutes and through
narrow doors, drive carefully and
avoid sudden stops.
