A United States Department of Agriculture Farmers Bulletin 1250 details green manuring as turning under a crop while green for soil improvement. It covers crops mainly used as roughage, nitrogen restoration via nodules and soil bacteria, inoculation needs for legumes, and when turning under versus feeding or selling the crop. The bulletin lists key legume crops and notes green manuring should be regular farming practice, especially east of the hundredth meridian and in irrigated areas. A free copy is available from the USDA in Washington, DC.
The article stresses the grave menace of noxious weeds like Canada thistle and quack grass. It calls for town city and village cooperation, stating weed warfare is a community and personal issue.

The exchange hints at courtroom tactics and the tension between rhetorical flourishes and practical legal aid after a train incident involving a Jersey cow.
