One of Eds most unfortunate

a routine with a trick billiard table
one night when he suddenly began
getting laughs at the wrong

Soil And Crop
Program Report

At the all day "Soil and Crop
improvement" meeting at the
Court house, Lennie Boerger, Rose
dale, was chairman of the days
program. E. p. Reed, Extension
Agronomist, O.S.U., discussed the
economical use of fertilizer stating
that it was paying proposition to
use up to $50 lbs. of single strength
fertilizer in the row for corn, plus
additional nitrogen, depending on
the previous crop. He recommend
ed 3 to hundred lbs. on small
grain. He also stated it was a pay
ing practice to fertilize meadows,
and results showed an increase in
soybean yields, where the average
soybean yields has been around 25
bushel He also discussed the latest
recommendation crop varieties and
handed out pamphlets on the Uni
versity's recommendation, these
are available at the extension Of
flee.
Next on the program was panel
discussion on wide row corn plant
ing, moderated by Paul Bangham,
soil conservation service planner.
Marion Burr, London, Rt. /, report
ed results he had with his expert
ence last year, where he seeded 8"
rows and stalks 5" apart on the
row. He stated his yield averaged
over 65 bushel. He seeded alfalfa
between the rows around the first
of July with a Brilliant seeder.
Planting corn and seeding his al
falfa in this manner has eliminated
the small grain crop from his ro-
tation. Marion said he would rath-
er report exactly how he likes it,
after 3 or more years experience
Robert Terhune of Fayette County,
reported on his experience with
wide row planting of corn. His ex-
perience was practically the same
as Marion Burr's. His yields were
reduced some, but he felt the ad-
vantage of seeding a cover crop,
was worth the reduction in corn
yields.
John Moore reported on Control
and Eradication of Canada thistle,
stating it was at least a 3 year
continuous battle and that the best
time to start fighting the thistles
was at the weakest time in the
growth cycle, which would be
when the buds just start to come
on. AT this time the root reserves
, are at the lowest point. A good
place to start on the rotation is in
, the hay, or moving the hay around
, the first week in June hits the
thistle in this early bud stage and
with good stand of alfalfa 3 cut
, tings of hay per year, weakens the
thistle considerably. If there is an
unusually bad infestation, plow
the hay field 2 to 3 weeks after
the first cutting. Then summer fall
low the field every to 3 weeks
until frost, and plant the field to
corn and spray the field with PAD
after the first cultivation, plus use
hand sprayer on the thistle
patches late in the summer. Other
methods were outlined. Informa-

Afternoon progra included
panel discussions on storing and
feeding grass silage. Panel was
moderated by Robert Hunter, the
new chairman of the agronomy
committee for 1855. Willard Davis
or Irwin, Rt. /, reported on his ex-
perience with an up-ground-trench
silo, which has been built in a pole
barn, with baled hay stored on top
of trench silo. He says the cattle
self feed from one end and the ar
rangement also very satisfactory.
Bud Putnam, London, Rt. 3, re-
ported on their experience with a
shallow grass silage stack. He stat
ed they have some problems, build
ing the stack since they use trac-
tors to keep it tramped down and
there is some danger after you get
up a few feet in height around the
edges. He said they were planning

The Ohio Legislature and the
Federal Congress are both in ses-
sion. The greatest investment the
average citizen can make in better
government, next TO voting at cleo

Ohio Public Expenditure Council.
Every citizen has senators and
representatives in Congress, every

tatives in the state legislature in
Columbus. These people were cleo
ted by the folks back home to rep

resent what the people back home

know just what they want. A per-

welcome your advice or sugges-
