Lime, Fertilizer
Are Critical
Needs For Alfalfa

Both lime and fertilizer are
critical needs for alfalfa if the
best yields or long lived stands
are desired, says Virginia Poly
techndc Institute Agronomist w.
w. Moschler. A three-year study
of alfalfa on Tatum silt loan
was recently completed at the
Virginia Agricultural Expert
ment Station.
Starting with small amounts
OF fertilizer and low rates of
lime on a poor. acid soil, the
scientists gradually weakened
both fertilizer and lime. Rates
of lime without fertilizer, rates
of fertilizer without lime, and
combinations of both lime and
fertilizer together, were used.
No satisfactory stand or
growth of alfalfa could be OBJ
tanned without at least a small
amount of both lime and fer
tilizer. Beyond this first small
quantity however, either ma
terial was able to substitute fair
ly well for the other. In other
words, higher rates of fertilizer
and lower rates of lime produc-
ed yields comparable to those
from lower rates of fertilizer
and higher rates of lime. Top
yields came only when the high
er rates of both materials were
used in combination.
When long-lived stand is
wanted lime becomes the more
critical of the two. Alfalfa on
plots receiving small quantities
of lime thinned out more rapidly
than well lined plots, regardless
of fertilization In farm prac-
tice. a middle course where
medium rate of lime and a
medium rate of fertilizer are
used in combination will proba-
bly, bring more profit for more
years than either extreme.

Questions Of The Week.?

@ - What is the expected
price of beef cattle for this
fall What effect will he
drought in Pennsylvania have on
feeder calf prices?
A A moderate decline in
fat cattle prices is expected this
fall, probably mostly in October
through December. Feeder cat
tie prices are expected to be at
about the same level as last
year, with possibly a slight de-
cline in late October and No
vember. The worst of the
drought in Pennsylvania is cen
tered primarily in the dairy sec
ton. Likely it will have little eff
feet on Virginia feeder calf
prices. However, it may have
some depressing effect on year.
ling buyers from Pennsylvania.
i
@ = When should beef heifers
be bred for the first time?
A - The best rule to follow is
to breed heifers which weigh a
minimum Of $50 to 700 pounds
and are 16 months old or older.
They should weigh around $50
pounds when they have their
first calf.
@ : How does the number of
fatal farm accidents compare
with accidents in industry?
A The number on farms is
proportionately four times great
err than for any other major in
dustry. Farm work accidents
kill about 5000 people annually.
Another $4,000 persons are in
jured.

A : Pentachlorophenol is one

crease OF four per cent probable
TAIL borrowings over last year.
This compares with the earlier
intentions of a three per cent
gain reported in June.
Retail prices of pork have
moved up sharply in the past
week or SO partially rejecting
the moderate gain in hog prices.
Farm hog prices last week
were from Is cents to rs cents
above the week before.
Last weeks prices in Rich
mond were $3.50 to $40: South
west Virginia, $l9.25 to SIG. rs;
Southeast Virginia, $l9 so to $40;

markets was $3.50.
Stock Feeder Cattle
The stock feeder cattle market
is another part of the red meat
industry VIII ich would bar
watching during the next fe W
weeks.
Two factors which indicate
this are the seasonal closing out
Of good pasture, and the slow
movement of livestock to mar
ket.
Prices at Virginia yearling
sales are running from one to
two dollars ahead of comparable
sales Of last year.
Current slaughter steer prices
are 81 to S. above last year,
and this is the highest since
1859. One reason for this is that
the cattle cycle is still in the
buildup stage. This is also being
reflected in higher retail prices.
Last week prices for feeder
stock at Virginia auctions for
choice and fancy yearling steers
weighing SIS to $50 pounds were
$24.5O to $27; good, $23 to SIS.
Steer calves, from 275 to $50,
choice and fancy were $28 to $32;
good $24 to $40. Heifer calves,
choice and fancy were $24 to $27;
good, $22 to SIS.
At ven special yearling
sales, choice and fancy, weigh
ing 500 to $50 were $751; to
$28; $50 to 1000, $24 to $26.75;
good, 500 to $50, $3.50 to $27;
and $50 to 1000, $23.75 to $25. so.

Income Varies
Among Farms OF
Equal Resources

Net farm income varies great
ly among farms of equal re-
sources, says r. K. Reynolds,
agricultural economist at Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute. For
example, As Grade A. dairy
farms were enrolled in the VPI
Electronic Farm Record pro-
gram in 1851. Data showed near
ly a 5000 difference in net farm
income between the high and low
income groups of these farms.
In terms of labor income the
high income dairy farms averag-
ed $500 more return to the OPP
orators labor and management
than the average low income
dairy farm.
A similar situation was found
in a group of livestock produc-
ers taking part in the porgram.
The range in net farm income
on some beef cow-calf operations
was from a profit of Sill 900 to a
loss of $3,O17.
Records on a group of cash
grain farms showed a difference
of over $4,000 in net income be-
tween the most successful and
least successful operations. The
same situation exists on other
types of farms in Virginia.
How can such a wide varia
ton in success be explained
among farms of equal re-
sources? It. usually boils down
to poor management on the least
successful farms, says Reynolds.
For instance, improving the
forage production and feeding
program is perhaps the area of
greatest opportunity on most
farms for cutting costs. and
thereby improving farm profits.
Feed costs make up from so to
80 percent of the total cost of
meat and milk depending on the
class of livestock. It is important
to find the cheapest source of
feed nutrient and develop a feed
program to furnish the livestock
all they can economically con-
sumo.
In this connection, Reynolds
believes many farmers are ov-
erlooking the financial benefits
that may be had from increas-
ing the use of corn silage in their
feeding program.
Farm machinery and equip
ment costs are another area
where inefficiency will quickly
absorb potential profits. On the
Grade A dairy farms, almost
one-fourth of the total farm ex-
penseS on the average low
income farm was attributed to
machinery cost. Depreciation is
usually the greatest single item
of machinery cost on most
farms.
Still another area of extreme
importance in the farm bust
ness is labor cost. If not handled
efficiently labor cost will strike
a serious blow at farm profits.
Some farmers receive quite a
jolt when they sit down and fig
ure what they are paying for la
Dor. including the preGuiSiteS
such as use of dwelling, garden,
milk. medical expenses. and
other items. And, says Reynolds.
it becomes even more jolting
when they look at the amount of
productive work accomplished
for the money spent on labor.
Says the economist. IAN ac-
curate farm record system is a
basic tool for getting facts nee
essary to make sound manage
ment decisions. If you do not
know the production costs and
returns on your farm. take steps
now to set up record system
that will provide you with this
extremely important inforlna-
