Balearic Islands Seek Autonomy In New Spanish Constitution
Prepared by National Geographic Society, the Balearic islands now under Spanish ownership seek greater autonomy under the new constitution. Majorca, Minorca, Iviza, and Formentera blend varied ancestries and climates, welcoming visitors with clean inns and vibrant harbors. Majorca and Mahon show mixed English and Spanish influences while Minorca resists certain footwear customs and emphasizes home and factory work for women. The region preserves prehistoric talayots, caves, and fortress remains, with Palma, the island’s capital, centered on a bustling horseshoe bay and a tourist heartland near Bellyer castle.

Soil Zone Effect On Corn Fertilization Yields
Ohio experiment station results show fertilizer placement in corn affects stands. Direct contact or just above seed is most damaging. 400 lb acre of 4-12-4 reduces stand 33% in 1930 and 45% in 1931 when in rectangular 4 by 8 inch areas. Banding ½ inch above seed yields higher stands of 62% in 1930 and 70% in 1931, while dividing 400 lb into two 2 by 8 inch bands 3 inches apart achieves 90% in 1930 and a perfect stand in 1931.

Ninety-nine of one hundred Nebraska farmers who built and used trench silos last year say they were worthwhile. Ninety-five of one hundred will reuse silos if crops are poor, eighty-two would reuse even if crops are good. Eighty-eight percent say silage is much better feed than dry corn fodder. Sixty-two fed it with alfalfa, twenty added cottonseed cake, and twenty fed it with oats straw or other straw.

Agricultural Squibs and Farm Notes From Regions
Argentina reports a five percent year over year increase in corn area. Edgecombe county North Carolina farmers sold 89210 pounds of fat hogs for 3485.46 in a cooperative shipment. Wisconsin farm equipment is valued at 16.65 per acre of cropland, with New York and Pennsylvania higher. Vermont agents made 8856 visits to 4746 farms and fielded 18146 farmer inquiries. Heavy poultry breeds outperformed lighter breeds in Ohio cost records.
