Show Millard County Chronicle Thursday, February 28, 1963 COUNTY AGENT'S CORNER- FEED GOOD HAY FOH MORE HEALTHY COLTS The breeding season for mares and the foaling season will soon start, notes County Agent Marven Osrden. Horse owners who exert care now in selecting good feed for their mares will be repayed with more healthy colts. He advises, "Select good hay with high-carotene content to feed breeding mares from now until spring. It will pay off in the colt crop. "Such care is especially import ant since this is the time of year when farm feeds are generally at their lowest nutritional level, in many cases the better hay has already al-ready been fed, and hay standing in storage has been deteriorating in carotene content." Professor George R. Henderson, Extension animal husbandman at Utah State University, stresses the importance of good feeding for mares. He notes that fertility in mares is normally low, at best only about two-thirds that of cows. Colt crops of 60 to 65 percent are about normal. To justify the expense of keeping mares for the year, everything every-thing possible should be done to assure a good colt crop. He explains that carotene is perhaps the most essential feed element for protecting protect-ing the health of foals and insuring insur-ing breeding efficiency of the mares. Carotene produces vitamin A It is essential that feed for mares from now until gree ngrass comes be clean, bright, and smell fresh. "Good hay," he says, "is the best available pasture substitute for your horses." AGRICULTURE IS A BIG CUSTOMER What is the real place of agriculture agri-culture in our national economy? To understand it, County Agent Marven Ogden says, we must remember: re-member: farmers and ranchers are not only folks who have products to sell, they are also buyers an1 consumers. In fact, they are the biggest single group of buyers and consumers in the United States. This is the reason why the welfare of the rest of our economy still de pends so heavily on how agriculture is getting along. The Federal Extension Service points out some interesting facts along this line in a recent leaflet, "Agriculture A Big Customer." For example, farm people now make up only about eight percent of the population; but here is what they buy: (1) thirteen percent of all the petroleum produced in the United States, more than any other industry; in-dustry; (2) eight percent of all the rubber, enough to put tires on all the automobiles manufactured in the United States; (3) twice as much steel as the railroad industry, or about 5 million tons; (4) more electricity than is used by the cities of Washington, Baltimore, Chicago, Boston, Detroit and Huston combined. com-bined. In 1961 farmers bought $42 billion bil-lion worth of goods and services of all kinds, including about $27 billion worth of supplies, equipment equip-ment and so onn eeded to grow crops and livestock, and about $15 billion worth of the things we all buy to live. Many other such examples could be cited, 'In addition to the people employed on farms, about 6 million work at supplying goods and services ser-vices farmers buy and about 10 million at transporting, processing, storing and selling farm products. That means about four out of ten jobs in private employment are related re-lated to agriculture. In other words, about 40 per cent of all Americans get all or part of their living from pursuits reiaiea 10 agriculture; ana that's a terrific number of cus-mers!

Hunt, Extension Forester. "Make plans now; outline the size of tree plantings desired, and mail orders early to me at Utah State University, Logan, Utah, or to the Utah State Department of Forestry, 525 West 13th South, Salt Lake City, Utah," Hunt advised. People interested in tree planting plant-ing or who expect to plant trees this spring may get information, advice and order blanks from their local County Extension Agent or directly from the Extension Forester. Fores-ter. "In order to improve handling and shipping, one procedure has been changed; no orders will be accepted after April 15, 1963, Hunt explained. This year, 13 different species of trees and shrubs are available from the nursery at Logan. They include multiflora rose, green ash, black locust, thornless honey locust, rus-sian rus-sian olive, golden willow, lombardy popular, common lilac, caragana Siberian pea, blue spruce, douglas fir, ponderosa pine and western red cedar. - ! Seedlings vary in price from $25 to $60 per thousand; different spe- uitrs may utj uuugiu ui iuis as small as 50, but no orders of less than 100 trees will be accepted. Orders will be filled in the sequence they are received. Regulations on their use will be the same as in past years for trees distributed under the Clark-McNary Act. The land proposed for planting must be of at least one acre in size; the trees must not be used for ornamental purposes and they cannot be resold as living trees. During 1962, the Green Canyon Nursery at Logan distributed approximately ap-proximately 170,000 seedlings in Utah. These trees were supplied through the cooperation of the Utah State Forestry Department, Utah State University and the U. S.! Forest Service for windbreaks, shelterbelts, woodlots, postlots, e-rosion e-rosion control, game cover, Christmas Christ-mas trees, and for forestation plantings on farm or ranch land.

REX WOOD for your fertilizer needs A ! ,f.. i TTTTliTssssrsssssWTssssssl " T '4C it-""" i tf! Pasture and row crops require adequate ade-quate nitrogen at the start of the season for strong early growth and development. It is during this period when extensive feeder roots and top growth are developed. Whenever possible, apply the full nitrogen treatment early in the growing season. V f SfV BROADCAST AND PLOW DOWN YOUR fertilizer whenever possible. Many researchers report that plowing fertilizer fert-ilizer down for potatoes, beetj, corn and other row crops is an excellent method of application. PLOW DOWN OF FERTILIZER brings fertilizer and crop residues in to close contact and facilitates more rapid breakdown of carbonaceous material. Extra nutrients are released re-leased for the new crop. Extra bushels bush-els or tons at harvest time is the pay off. 8 J" Mi.. 1 r.
