ANSWER: Choline is of such recent prominence in nutrition research that we are not in a position to publish anything .on this subject "We have a number of years of study on the cystine and methionine requirements .if pigs and it seems likely that choline may well be a part of this picture," Peterson 'reports. H? n QUESTION : What is the best teii^perature for curing sweet po tatoes? ANSWER: About 75 to 80 de grees is the best temperature for average conditions. Try for an even cure of all the potatoes. If the temperature is allowed to run up too high, the potatoes in the top tier of baskets will cure out much faster than those In the lower baskets and an uneven cure will result. Watch the baskets In the top tier and, if the potatoes show any evidence of sprouting, the heat should be lowered. Af ter the potatoes are cured, try to keep them at a temperature of about 55 degrees. Much lower temperatures than this may re sult in cold damage. U ? H QUESTION: Should I feed mv beef calf while it is still nursing'-' ANSWER: Yes, two ways of doing this feeding. The calf may be allowed to run with the cotv and get his grain from a creep. Another plan is to separate the cow and calf after about 6 to 8 weeks of nursing, and allow the calf to nurse twice a day. Feed can be kept before the calf while he is in his stall.
