Late sowing for fall maturing
crops are of vital importance in this
year’s victory gardens, in order to
obtain maximum food production
necessary for wartime needs.
In hot weather, either dry or hot,
seeds may have a difficult time. Dur
ing hot weather the top soil dries out
quickly, even after it has been
thoroughly soaked, unless shaded
from the sun. When rains come
they beat down the soil and the sun
then bakes it, forming a crust diffi
cult for seedlings to penetrate.
How’ever, there are two ways of
insuring good germination. Either
start seeds in flats in a shaded lo
cation and transplant good-sized
seedlings to the garden or sow in
the open garden and shade the rows
until the seedlings have a good start.
The first method can be used only
for crops which will stand trans
planting, including lettuce, cauli
flower, endive, cabbage, collards, kale,
broccoli, brussels sprouts, etc. Let

ate in hot weather except in a shaded
spot.

and beans cannot be transplanted so

In planning for shading of seed
lings, make drills for summer seed
ing deeper than usual, in order to
bring seeds closer to Soil moisture.
Pour enough water into the drill to
soak the soil thoroughly, then sow
the seeds. If there is enough clay
in your garden to pack the soil, cover
the seeds with sand or fine dry soil.
Never compact wet soil above your
seeds in the summer.
Next place a plank, six inches
wide, over the rows, raised an inch
or so on weed blocks so that air and
moisture can pass beneath it.
As soon as the seedlings break
through the ground, remove the
plank so that they may have sun
light. But until they ar§ well estab
lished it will be best to sprinkle them
sufficiently to keep the topsoil from
drying out.

Hog's Time May Have
High Value In Market
Total grain required to produce
100 pounds of gain on a pig can be
reduced about 17 per cent by raising
the pigs on good pasture, but How
ard Davison, animal husbandry spe
cialist, Ohio State University, says
the saving in grain is made at the
expense of approximately 55 days of
time in getting the pigs ready for
market.
Mr. Davison quotes the feeding
trials made by W. L. Robison, Ohio
Experiment Station, in proof that
100 pounds of pork can be made
with 333 pounds of grain and con
centrates with pigs on pasture but
the feeding time was 162 days. The
other lot of pigs on full grain feed
gained 10O pounds in 105 days but
consumed 366 pounds of grains and
concentrates.
The animal husbandry specialist
declares the grain saved in this pr
ticular feeding trial was more than
counterbalanced by the decline in
market prices for pork in the period
between the dates the two lots of
pigs were sold. In normal times,
this seasonal price drop is likely to
occur, but 1944 is not a
marketing year.

The pigs in this trial on
grain made their best gains
corn after September 15. That might
be an important factor to a lot of
Ohio farmers who now have little or
no old corn. Mr. Davison suggests
that by putting pigs on pasture and
limiting their grain it would be pos
sible to use 1944 com to make 55
per cent of the gain required to
bring the pigs to desirable market
weights.
All livestockmen nowdays watch
government regulations on livestock
marketing. The announced drop in
the support prices on hogs to be
made this fall must be considered in
any feeding plan, and most farmers
will send as many spring pigs as
possible to market before the sup
port price is lowered.
