THE NEXT MORNING at 7 a.m., Jordan returned to replace the "loaner" with the new Goodyear tire McNinch needed. It was expertly installed-filled-fluid-weighted in time for a full day in the field. It's all part of the "Extra Hand" service that has kept McNincha Goodyear tractor tires running for the past 18 years. FAST-ACTING "EXTRA-HAND" SERVICE when big problems arise, it's money in the bank for busy farmers. And this is supported by the exceptional grip and durability of Sure-Grip tractor tires.

That means, barring any unforeseen problems, this one mine could soon be producing more than eight million broilers annually." Dorsey predicts. This brings us to the second phase of "Operation Underground." The West Virginia Department of Agriculture recently began a program to end the - the feasibility of mushroom production in abandoned coal mines. One mine near Beckley has produced several thousand pounds of mushrooms in the past few months and sold them for 50 cents a pound.
No disease problems to speak of were encountered in the dry mine, but the wet mine had plenty. So, is it not possible to plant vegetables in the soil after harvesting the mushrooms.

Those FFA members who earned the State and American Farmer degrees generally made few mistakes serious enough to lead to failure.

Others make the opposite mistake of trying to work on a shoestring and thus take shortcuts in cultural practices that are expensive.
Far too many farmers adopt cultural practices that have not been approved by agricultural leaders. is the use of inferior crop seed or inferior livestock. Here again, the answer lies in following accepted practices taught in vocational agriculture and applied to the individual situation. Finally, many farmers fail because they are too proud to accept the advice of their fathers, older farmers, miag teachers, and others who are much more experienced than they are. Farmers should take every opportunity to stay abreast of research that . iCdiuinucdill,I'li'^'C46).

No one ever dared to fear the deadly consequences. Considering that Colonel Johnson's announced intention was almost certainly suicidal, his friends and neighbors came from miles around to witness the execution. publicity and had not the slightest intention of coming out of his mansion to test the effect of the dreaded SolanumLycopersicum. In 1808 he made a trip abroad. When he returned, he introduced Solanum Lycopersicimi to the farmers of the community and persuaded them to grow the things as ornamental shrubs. On his return he offered prizes for the largest and most attractive country fair. If the Wolf Peach is too ripe and warmed by the sun, it will expose itself to brain fever.
If he were to survive by some unlikely chance, I must remember that the skin of Solanum Lycopersicum will stick to the lining of the stomach and eventually cause cancer." his residence He was dressed in his usual black suit with white rules, black shoes, tricorne hat, black gloves and cane.
There was no sound as the Colonel dramatically brought the Solanum Lycopersicum to his lips – and took a bite. Dr. Van Meeter hastily closed his kit, pulled his hat over his ears, and hurried down the street. Without leaving a shred of doubt, he proved the pure and edible qualities of this shrub, transforming it into what would soon become the "first fruit" of the American table: the tomato.

Long shadows covered the base paths and the shadow of the scoreboard behind right field almost reached the stands. The hometown fans cheered hoarsely as Hunk Davis, the stocky, wide-faced Spencer High catcher, chugged safely to third on a sharp single to left field from the third baseman. Spencer High entered the bottom of the eleventh with a big run that showed up on the shadowy scoreboard.
He had earned it on the football field during his sophomore season, and his athletic prowess in the seasons that followed—basketball, baseball, track, and football—polished his nickname and made him a star. Hunk Davis sat behind the plate, his broad face flushed and streaked with dirt as he smiled at Bruce, slapping his hand. The Rutledge hurler had been Bruce's rival since their first clash in the net two years earlier.
Bruce frowned and tried not to think about how close he was to peak glory; tried not to think about the three major league scouts that Coach Rowan had introduced to the team just before the game started. Though they seemed to be only casually interested as they spoke to Bruce and the other young men. Winning the conference championship as a final tribute to the school and as a glowing reminder of the retirement of Coach Rowantokeep forever; these were the other reasons why it meant so much to bow out with a victorious no-hitter.

Mr. Of course, Ortgies' figures do not include the value of the sows' milk or the price of the sows' feed. Costofsows feed is about $3 per pig that breeds to. Not only are his records of feed costs important; so are his records of breeding and management practices, which serve to guide business operations. At the 1280 hectare MoorMan Research Farms, feed consumption and growth of over 2000 pigs was recorded last year to help develop feed for better yield and faster growth.

Born with a severe disability, Larry has learned to do almost everything anyone else can do, some even better. His fellow chapter members say he is the best ping-pong player in the community, and that he is a hit with a gun. Engine power on balers allows you to cover a large area with less help and at a lower cost. The 30 hp Wisconsin shown on the John Deere 214-T baler illustrates this point.

Woodling was noticed by Cleveland Indian scouts in 1940 while playing for Akron East High School in Akron, Ohio. The next year he led the Michigan State League with a .394 average and then the Eastern League in '43 with .344. Those performances were enough to get him called up to Cleveland at the end of the '43 season, and he hit .320 in 8 games.
He spent the 1944 and 1945 seasons in the US Navy, and after joining the Indians in 1946, he couldn't seem to get going. He appeared in just 22 games with the Pirates, hitting a .266 average before being sent down to. With San Francisco in the Pacific Coast League in 1948, led the league with a .385 batting average, triples with 13, and had 22 homers.
He played his position in left so well that he made it look easy, and left field at the Stadium is tough to play. Things looked bleak for him in '56 when he spent almost three months on the disabled list, but he finished the year with a respectable .262 average. He was named the Oriole Most Valuable Player of the Year and had the honor of being voted to the .American LeagueAll-StarTeamforthe.
