Alfalfa praise and truck farming notes from the South
Editor Medill reports Alfred Aylsworth promoting alfalfa as a southern salvation, citing California and Colorado yields and a Texas Gainesville seed trade. A Houston county planter, L A Rumph, farms 31 acres of vegetables with contracts to leading seed firms, shipping cucumbers and eggplants. Bones as fertilizer are urged, while a mix of local ag notes covers livestock, public salaries, fruit crops and park facts.
