MoreOnGrain StorageProblems Reprint'd from the Monthly Farm Business Letter Prepared by staff of Walley Agricultural Service, Inc, A new law signed -by the Presi­ dent on August 15 allows us to write off for Federal Income Tax purposes thu entire cost of constr­ ucting or reconstructing grain storage in five years (00 months). This is n substantial in­ ducement; for example, a farmer spends $1,000, thereby reducing the Amount upon which he must pay Federal Tuxes $200 a year for the next five years. If his average rate is 25 % he will save $00 a year in taxes or $250 in five years by spending the money for grain stro- rage now. Much of the Government-owned wheat apd corn has been moved from the farms and put into Gover- inent-owned or leased storage. Very little public'warehouse space is a- vailable for the 1053 soybean or corn crops. The amount of storage available in local elevntors is very limited and in many localities a critical storage situation may develop hr soon as soybean harvest is under way, It Js freely predicted in this "distress marketing” situation beans may sell 50 or GO cents a bushel under support price, or what they are likely to bring between now and next summer. Such an unnecessary loss would make a sub­ stantial payment upon the cost nf additional permanent farm storage.

Davis, extension wildlife conservationist at Ohio State University. Steps and plans to provide food and cover for carrying brood stock for next year’s wildlife crop over the winter can be made right now by farmers and others. Davis says the best winter food for pheasants and other game animals is a few rows of corn left standing near good cover. Burn­ ing fence rows, ditchbnnks and GUYVARNER ADRIATIC QUEEN . . .

YELLOW SPRINGS, OHIO 127 Glen Street Phone 7-7688 woods brooders and spring' and fall mowing destroy wildlife cover. Babbits benefit from a few well placed brush’ piles in woods borders and in ’miscellaneous areas not used for farming. Brush piles are most valuable'when near native shrubs, he iidds. Multi­ flower rose fences make good food and cover areas for rabbits and othei useful wildlife. Davis docs not recommend haul­ ing grain to wildlife and establish­ ing feeding areas during winter. He says winter feeding has too many disadvantages to be prac­ tical, Instead, he advises formers aii(l others to provide mow for food in the Form of standing corn or other grain which will be available when needed. Farmers can obtain complete wildlife planning and planting services through their local Soil Conservation District. Disease IsGreatest Danger.ToProfits Disease Is the greatest single hazard in profitable livestock production, says Glenn R. German, Ohio Livestock, Loss Prevention subcommittee chairman. Annual livestock death rate, directly caused by disease, have been estimated at 25 percent of the swine, 20 percent of the aheep and lamb and 10 percent of the cattle and calf population, Ger­ man says these are conservative estimates. Sanitation is the first step in fighting disease, he . adds. Anti­ biotics, drugs, vaccines and feed supplements will be mos^ effective if a sound sanitation program ac­ companies them.

Outlines Weed ControlInWheat Most of the troublesome weeds in Ohio fields are removed by the fanning mill says E. >P, Reed, ex­ tension ugranamist at. Ohio State University. ' Reed, says wild garlic and cockel are exceptions. “If seed wheat contains weed seed that is difficult to remove,’’ he*warns, “farmers would be better off to purchase certified seed of known origin.” “Of course,” he adds, “The best way to control weeds is to grow a vigorous stand of wheat." High- yielding wheat fields seldom have many weeds in them. Clean seed beds are another method of weed control. Land that was plowed or disked thoroughly after sod crops and silage corn— So all weed seedlings are dead at seeding time—will have fewer weeds. " Reed, says 2,4-D spraying can control u limited number of weeds, Spraying in late March in south­ ern Ohio and in eaTly April in the north will destroy winter cress. Furmcrs who plan meadow seed- ings, however, can not .use this method. Spring growth of Canada thistle, white top, and bind weed may be sprayed just (before the first wheat joints develop. Reed says much treatment probably will not dam­ age clover seriously. The canopy of wheat prevents most of the spray from reaching the dover Seedlings. Hand spraying will control Canada thistle and bind weed in small patches. Time to do this is when wheat grain is in the milk stage. Reed concludes, "The practical way of controlling weeds on most farms is by good crop and soil management — through rotation that includes good stands of meadow crops 2 y ea rs, or more and that are fertilized • and cut for hay two to three times each year."
