State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q How often should I water my house plants? A. Whenever they need it. That's not a -sassy answer. It's as cood an answer as can be given. Keep the soil moist, but not sticky wet. Apply enough water to wet the soil to the bottom of the con tainer. Wait until the surface of I the soil shows definite s?v of Irying before watering again, Q. What is the best way to control feed and weed flavors in. milk? A. Remove your cows from pas ture at least three hours before milking them. Feed dry roughage before and after pasturing ani mals. Feed silage and oth^r loud smelling feeds after milking only Eliminate weeds from pasture land; fertilize, mow. and otate pasture. Use your dry cow:; anii heifers to graze off cniar.s; ..ot the cows of the miU.ng herd. It onion infestation is mild, remov ing milk cows four to six hours before milking will help. Q. How can I prevent insect pests from infesting my stored grain? A. Control of insect pests lir stored grain begins with preven tion. or just clean "housekeeping." An effective program of pest pre vention includes planting adapted varieties, using old grain before new grain is stored in the same bins, cleaning and treating storage places thoroughly, drying grain be fore storage, and proper harvest ing. These preventive treatments, though, will be of no help in re ducing insect pest c.amage unless you have good storage. Good, tight storage means a bin. crib or other structure that is built so tight that it will hold a gas fumigant long enough for the gas to pene trate the grain and kill the pe^t therein.
