Kidman, county F.S.A. supervisor, said today. These plans are based on current crop and livestock trends and farm records of their 1943 operations. "Increases In livestock feed production are being planned by many F.S.A. borrowers to offset serious shortages expectKidman said. ed this year, Borrowers plan not only to increase hay and feed grains, but also to improve pastures and to grow more silage. Increased feed crops are expected to replace cash crops where price prospects are uncertain, and at the same time provide more diversification. Kidman said that livestock plans for 1946 indicate F.S.A. borrowers are putting more emphasis on maintaining a high level of dairy production, lie said that borrowers plan some increases in hog production, and will maintain their farm poultry flocks at present levels, with some reductions in commercial poultry and turkey operations. In line with their plans to increase the milk production of their dairy herds, the F.S.A. official said, a number of dairymen plan to remodel their dairy barns to meet Grade A standards during the coming year. Financially, F.S A. borrowers made outstanding progress in 1945, Kidman said. During the past month. Supervisor Kidman said that the deman dfor F.S.A. loans from farm veterans locating on nearby farms and from farmers who need new machinery or livestock for this car's operations had risen sharply. t J ' 1 i " f r ! 4 I j4 i Conducts Experiments On Tomato Diseases Tremonton Farm Bureau Unit Elects Officers are Successful experiments being conducted on tomato diseases at Utah State Agricultural college. Tiie research is under the dirction of Dr. II. Loran Blood, collaborator in the Utah staagricultural experiment tion. Diseases being experimented with are bacterial canker, vcrticillium wilt and curly top. can-- ! A control for bacterial kor has been developed and is now being perfected. Canker is a bacterial disease which destroys the plant tissues. It can be controlled by killing the in the seed through crushing the fruit and kting it ferment, or through using a sos of one percent lution of acetic acid on the seed for 24 hours. Then the seed is and planted in clean seed-bed- s the' plants In clean fields. Vcrticillium wilt is caused bv the prevalence of a natural soil organism which penetrates file stem tissue and prevents the growdh of tomato plants. This malady is being overcome by crossing the commercial tomato plant with a resistant tomato plant obtained from Peru. The station U. S. A. C. experiment has been successful in this unbut unfortunately dertaking, the new resistant plant is not earty enough for the northern part of the state. Efforts are on now being concentrated crossing the new resistant plant with in earlier strain and rigorously selecting to retain the same degree of resistance. Curly top is a virus disease carried to the tomato plants by the white fly or sugar beet leaf hopper. The virus causes the plant to turn yellow, wilt and die. The college has been attempting to develop a control for this disease by crossing the commercial tomato plant with a more resistant plant, the green-fruitewild tomato found widely distributed in western South America. Dr. Blood is with the U. S. bureau of plant industry, soils and agricultural engineering. nine-tenth- d Rotenone Better Than DDT For Cattle Grubs In forms now on the market and in dosages currently recommended fur lice conti ol, cat-tiD.

Hog slaughter will be higher due to the 12 percent increase in the fall pig crop .and the prospect that the spring pig crop will be only slightly under 1945.

Garden Meet Livestock and poultry growers face an uncertain situation due to a recent order by the government restricting feeding of wheat, it was pointed out recently by Vernal Willie, acting county agent. Utah is a cereal impoiting state, depending upon surpluses of other areas for feeding livestock, A. F. Bracken, extension agronomist at Utah State Agricultural college said, and while the period between now and harvest appears most critical. yet in the year ahead we in may still face restrictions order to meet food needs. But adjustments can be made to partly relieve the local situation, he said. In 1945, a total of 66,000 acres of spring wheat, 150,000 acres of barley and 47,000 acres of oats w'ere harvested in Utah, Bracken said. Goals for these crops in 1946 call for seeding 70.000 acres of spring wheat, 160.000 acres of barley, with no change for oats. The high acre yields of 1945 likely will not be repeated again this coming year, the agronomist predicted, but if average yields are produced, Utah farmers will grow as much barley and spring wheat as in 1945, providing acreage goals are reached. To meet critical world-widneeds Jor additional wheat as food, Clinton P. Anderson, secretary of agnculture. has issued a recent order asking that spring goals be increased five percent or more. This would mean a total seeding of 73.500 acres of Utah, lie said. Farmers can comply with this order much to their advantage by substituting wheat for oats and. to produce more feed, substituting barley for oats, according to the agronomist. If tlie average acre yield of these three grams is multiplied by i expect iv e digestible feed values, barley produces 1.604 pounds to an aero, wheat 1.527, and oats 881 pounds. From these yields, if barley is given a value of 100, wheat only drops to 94 but oats falls to the low level of 53. Thus to meet this critical situation it is to the advantage of farmers, feeders and those who need food to plant uat acreage to wheat first and barley' second. Prof. Bracken said. Two Utahns will attend the national garden conference to be held in Washington, D. C., March according to R. L. Wrigley, acting director, Utah Slate extension service. They arc Milton Anderson, extension and Doyle L. horticulturist, Green, extension editor. The national garden conference has been called by Clinof ton P. Anderson, secretary to develop proagriculture. grams to carry out President Truman's appeal to citizens to home continue their war-timactivities, Wrigley gardening said. Some of the national figures who will participate in the conference are: Anderson; Roy F. Hendrickson, deputy director general. U. N. N R. A.; Chester C. Davis, chairman, famine committee; Major emergency General Louis B. Hershey, director, selective service system; M, L. Wilson, director, extension service; and John W. Snyder, director, office ot w'ar mobilization and reconversion. Extension representatives from most of the states will also participate. Home gardens are just as important tins year as in war yiars because of starvation conditions abroad, Wrigley said, and the Utah extension service will cooperate fully with all phases of the national garden program. national The conference plans to recommend action programs for both the immediate and the long-timaspects of the national garden prom am. director Wrigley said. While the first step will be to recommend additional suggestions for the immediate future, it is equally important that we begin to develop long range programs, lie More Rofenone for West indicated.
