Mulch tillage and contour , planting are in the picture again thi* spring for farmers on the moisture-short soil of Indiana. Purdue University agronomists are recommending that farmers use field cultivators instead of plows for corn and soybeans so that the mulch left on top of the ground will reduce evaporation losses and keep the soil open for entry of rain water into it. They suggest also contour planting to trap possible runoff water, and advise caution with heavy amounts of fertilizer. "It is not advisable to apply large amount of fertilizer near the seed in a moisture-deficient
Because the soil has been dry for the entire winter, Kohnke further reminds farmers that very little nitrogen has washed out and should therefore still be available to the 1954 crops.

tomatoe juice, and sweet corn. At moderate prices, a wide arlay of food is arailable such as oranges, grapefruit, radishes, peppers, greens, southern tomatoes, apples, grapes, and lettuce.
In a recent survey of moisture conditions in the state, the Purdue agronomists found that over much of Indiana there is less water in the ground than can usually be expected at this time of year.
For northern Indiana they iay the deficiency is not serious. So little water is in the ground in outhern Indiana, however, that they say “unless more than average rainfall comes this spring, there will not be enough water xor big crop yields."

Gods that have been fertilized well over the years and that have had legume meadows frequently in the rotation will probably show very little yield dehne fiom lack of water. On such roils the crop roots can go down deep to forage for water in the subsoil. Where soils have been used for : ow crops a large part of the l ime, especially without much fertilization, the crops this year will likely suffer much more. In these soils the structure may be poorer and the roots cannot grow very far down. If the farmer has some subsoil moisture and necessary equipment. Kohnke recommends that the subsoil be fertilized, using a chisel with a fertilizer attachment. Such deeply placed leitilizer will cause roots to grow down into the subsoil and make use of its moisture reserve.

American per capita consumption of potatoes is only 100 pounds a year, the Purdue specialist observes, while many European families eat 500 or 600 pounds a year. He thinks Americans can help their food budgets while they cooperate with the national effort to sell more potatoes. Potatoes coming into Midwest markets primarily from Maine. Idaho, and Florida, along with a few local spuds. The Idaho baking type is considered to be a quality product. Choose potatoes that have uniform shape and size, with shallow eyes, and are firm to the touch. Joe says. Avoid buying spuds that are cut or bruised, or that show sprouts or wet spots on the

Vegetables to be stored in home freezing units or lockers should be frozen, just as they should be cooked, as soon as possible after harvesting. This is the recommendation made by state experiment stations which have tested loss of flavor, tenderness and vitamin content in vegetables after the harvest. "Prompt handling of garden products from harvesting to freezing is of the utmost importance.’’ says extension bulletin 244 from the University of Minnesota "For example, holding freshly picked peas in a warm room for 3 to 4 hours will materially toughen the skins. Losses of Vitamin C are greatest during this period.’' One to two thirds of their original Vitamin C value, the bulletin says, may be Jost by vegetables in 24 hours at room temperature. If necessary to hold overnight, they should be placed in a refrigerator or covered with crushed ice. Never try to hold them after shelling, slicing or scalding. The findings concerning the loss of nutrition are of importance to housewives who harvest or purchase vegetables {or the table Peas are an outstanding example of the loss of flavor due to delay in cooking or processing. Tests by the state experiment station at Geneva. N. Y.. showed also that Vitamin C content dropped as peas grew older. In lots harvested at different stages of maturity over a 10 day period. I the oldest lots contained 36 per ! cent less Vitamin C than the 1 youngest. They also lost tender- . ness, as indicated by a tenderometer reading of 80 for th» youngest, and 140 for the oldest. Tenderometer is a device to measure ! toughness. Peas are sweetest at dawn, according te the Washington state college, and if harvested i then should be kept in a cold place until cooked, frozen or canned.

Garden-fresh for Freezing Means Not More Than Two Hours After Harvesting.
Spinach stored at room temperature lost 48 per cent of its
Vitamin C content in 24 hours, according to the Oklahoma experiment station; and in six days it lost 91 per cent. Spinach is often six days on the way from field to the table. Varieties of vegetables recommended for freezing are. in general. the home garden kinds which excel in tenderness and flavor, without regard to their shipping qualities. Use small, tender beets, the young tender leaves of all greens, carrots harvested late in the fall and mature but not woody. Grade lima beans and peas by floating in cold brine and discarding all that smk to the bottom, which will be overmature. Pick corn slightly more mature than for table use. Whole tomatoes do not freeze well.

Second, it mu t be so crammed with antibiotic, vitamin-, and minerals that pigs get a real growth boost in those important early day, after farrowing. 1 h it’s why you hear so many hog ra.-er, talking a 1 tout Creep-20—the botk palatabihty anJ stepped-up growth pow er. lUgrai ers feeding Creep-20 reported weaning 40 to 50 lb. pigs at 6 weeks, and others told of GO pounders at 8 weeks. Some of the e successful hr>g rai-ers said their [ .. . liked Creep-20 even better than straight rolled oats. No wonder! Creep-20 actually is 50% rolled oat . —the !on 0 -ree*.'gnued favorite of baby pigs.
Aod Nutrena has loaded Cr^p-JO with four times more antibiotic grow th power than is required by old^r pigs. They loaded it with antibiotic because baby pigs eat so little, they need extra potency in every tiny bite.
This combination of high palatabi!i*y plus stepped-up antibiotic grow th power is paying off for many of your neighbors. We hon-. Jly feel it should do the same for you.
So don’t let this Spring go by w ithout taking IhCiC two step, toward fa-t, low-cost gains. Visit with your friends w ho have fed Creep-20 and check their results. Then—come on in and get a trial bag. Let your baby pigs nose around in it. T hen, if you don't agree they eat Creep-20 more eag* rly than any other brand, Nutrena will refund your money.
