Along t h e Greene County Farm Front Nitrogen Fertilizer Demonstrations Greer.e County has been al­ lotted a car o f 30 tons ammonia nitrate limestone fertilizer f.-r demonstration purposes. The al­ location is made by the Ohio State Univ e r s i t y Extension Agronomy Department. The fer­ tilizer carries 20.3 percent ni­ trogen, one-half as nitrate ni­ trogen and one-half in the am­ monia form. It is a new form of nitrogen fertilizer, and is said to be ideal fo r top dressing and it dpills exceedingly well. The products also keeps its condition in stor­ age very nicely. A limited amount is feeing fur­ nished the extension service in Greene County to promote ferti­ lizer practices known to be prof* itable, but not yet widely adapted. The material may be used on corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, mea­ dows or permanent pasture. Farmers interested in conduct­ ing a demonstration are urged to file an application with the county agents office for one ton o f the fertilizer which will sell fo r the market price of $58.5Q, delivered. State Swine Meetings Swine breeders and feeders from all over Ohio will assemble at Ohio State’s Plumb Hall Thurs­ day December 30 fo r their an­ nual organization meetings. Dur­ ing the forenoon most o f the swine breed associations will hold their annual meetings with indi­ vidual sessions starting at 9:30 a* i»w The annual meeting of the Ohio Swine Breeders and Feeders As­ sociation is scheduled for 1:00 p. m. Arthur B. (Doc) Evans ^o f Cedarville is president o f the Ohio Assn, with Paul Teegarden, Pick­ away County, vice president and Professor J. S. Coffey of O. S. U. secretary. A barbecue dinner will be served in Plumb Hall Arena. Mere Meat Today, Less Tomorrow That’s the meat supply out- lpok as forecasted by C. W. Ham- mans, O. S. U, Extension Mark­ eting Economist in commenting on increased supplies o f meat on the market. With the marketing peak past now on all livestock, meat sup­ plies can be expected to he less during the first half o f 1949. Whether substantial increases in fresh meats can be achieved by 1930 depends largely on 1919 crop yields and farmers’ livestock breeding ami feeding plans. Meat supplies can not be increased over night since farmers first must increase the size o f breeding herds, and then *wait 7 to 9 months for new born pigs to be­ come butcher hogs, and IS to 24 months to produce slaughter steers from calves. I f the bumper crops of 1948 dre followed in 1949 by above average yields, there is every reason to expect livestock num­ bers will increase. Since the 1948 corn crop o f 3.9 billion bushels was the largest on record, and - other grain crops and feed con­ centrates supplies increased 29 t and 22 percent, respectively, there^ is every reason to believe more livstock will be fed and to greater weight in 1949 than in recent; years, Remember - Dose Sheep In December Paeking plants report severe infestations of internal parasites in slaughtered lambs, which should be a reminder to flock owners to treat their sheep. Tire pasture mix method will prevent worm eggs from hatching; but dosing with pellets or a drence i3 necessary twice a year to kill the worms. Dosing the ewe flock in the fall and again in the early spring as soon as the lambs have been dropped is the best method of controlling these parasites. Feed Shell And Grit To Poultry * . -s.fo ‘ sjo A bi , Suipoaj ur quwjjodwi important in feeding layers.. Oys­ ter shell is necessary because this form calcium is used in making the egg shell. Hard granite or sandstone grit is well worth using.

This is the season o f the year when the grubs are showing up in the backs of cattle. Treating as soon as the grub holes appear will do a lot to re­ duce these losses. Complete directions for rote- none treatment may be had at the county agent’s office. Early treatment allows for needed fol­ low ups to exterminate all the grubs and eliminate some of the re-infestation next year.
