TIME TA.BLE, LENOX, IOWA Genuine Pfister Hybrids Complete World Trip Taylor Soil Conservation District News CAUSE AND EFFECI J. B. Countiss, General Sales Manager of Pfister Associated Growers, Aurora, Illinois, examines a few of the bags of Genuine Pfister Hybrids which have just recently returned from a trip around the world. On September 18, 1956 twelve (12) bags of Genuine Pfister Hybrids were shipped around the world to test the strength and quality of the bags under the most severe handling and shipping conditions. The Arkell Safety Bag Company and Pfister Associated Growers were most anxious to cooperate in finding out how the quality of Genuine Pfister Hybrids would be protected under the variable conditions to be found on such a trip.

An around the world shipment provided ideal conditions to checfe-the protection provided by the bag. The course of the journey was from New York City, September 18, 1958 on the S. S. City of Birkendead for Auckland. New Zealand via the Panama Canal where they arrived on October 28, 1958.

So that the bags would actually go "around the it was necessary to ship them to England for trans-shipment to the United States. The bags of Genuine Piister Hybrids left New Zealand on the S. S. Otaki on November 14 for Larkfield, Kent, England. The bags arrived in England in early February, delay being caused by the closing of the Suez Canal and the bags had to gc around the Cape of Good Hope.

From England the bags were shipped on the S. S. American Harvester, arriving in Newport News, Virginia and from there to Aurora, Illinois, arriving at the general offices of Pfister Associated Growers on March 27, 1957. On this trip the bags were subjected to every handling device and method of transportation known. They were found stacked in old cold, damp wharves and then transported in the holds of freighters where' searing heat tried to take its toll as the ships passed through the tropics.

Both bag and product returned in excellent condition. Completed data on these bags of Genuine Pfister Hybrids were as follows: Beginning Seed Moisture, 10.9 per cent; Returning Seed "Moisture, 10.6 per cent; Beginning Seed Germination, 97.5 per cent; Returning Seed Germination, 97.0 per cent.

Soil Conservation Service Drexel Gold, who is a member of the State Soil Conservation Service Training Committee, attended a two day meeting at Des Moines the past week. Jack Gowing of KMA, recorded an interview with Frank Gunson of Gay Township and Raymond Sneed of the Soil Conservation Service. Soil Conservation practices on the Gunson farm were discussed for Gowing's Keystone Steel and Wire Program. Listen to them Saturday at 11:45 a. m.

from KMA. Ben Buffington boosts Brome Grass. He has pastured 100 head of feeding cattle on GO acres of brome grass plus 20 acres of timber pasture from early April until last week. The cattle were given a light feed of concentrates until the middle of July when the feed was increased. Contrary to our usual 'belief, Ben' has compared yields on his Taylor and Mills County farms, and concludes that Brome does better in Taylor County than farther west.

We observed a strip of very good new sweet clover in an otherwise poor stand on the John Hunter farm in Ross Township last week. John explained the mystery by stating the strip was limed a few years ago. Even before John observed this he was a firm believer in liming at least 6 months ahead of the seeding of legumes. Rains received the past week have helped new seedings and pastures tremendously. Soybeans and late corn have bene- Thursday, Sept.

Practically all of the 16 miles were plow built terraces. The new ones are being by son, Eldon Stroburg, with his Carr Terracing Machine. Clark ds an old hand at Soil Conservation. His farm plan was the 5th one approved by the Taylor Soil Conservation District. Grassed waterways are valuable as proven on the Raymond Hedinger farm in Grove Township.

These waterways, which were ditches to begin with, were worked in, seeded and kept mowed. John Oshel, the tenant, harvested 3 bushels of timothy seed from these waterways this summer. Thank you, Mr Hedinger, for our column's first fan letter, calling the above item to our attention. Even though new seedings suffered from lack of moisture during July over most of Taylor county, recent rains have helper them tremendously. From observations made throughout the area, it looks as though this is going to be the first time in several years that legume seed- ings have had widespread However, in many instances, where timothy and other grasses were sown with the legumes, it appears doubtful that even a (partial stand of grasses become established.

We have not received word when the fish truck, bringing bluegills, will be here, but we are expecting to hear in the near future. You will be notified in plenty of time so you "can make arrangements to get them. The Farm Outlook Chick Hatch Laying flocks will be smaller than last year this summer and fall because of a 20 per cent cutback in the hatch of egg- type chicks during the first 6 months of this year, according to Francis A. Kutish, Iowa State College farm economist. Egg production should stay about even with last year during late summer and early fall says Kutish.

But by the end ol 1957, the reduction hi the number of layers will be felt, as egg production drops below year-ago levels. Turkey Hatch Total turkey hatch since September, 1956, will be 4 or 5 per cent higher than the 77 million turkeys raised in 1956. NOTICE OF PROBATE OFWTIT State of Iowa, Taylor County as.
