Hen Egg Production Best Predicted by Progeny Testing
A three year USDA study, led by Dr Morley A Jull at Beltsville, tests 793 White Leghorn hens and concludes progeny testing of daughters best indicates a hen's breeding potential. Results show dam egg production, sire dam impact, and full-sister variation poorly predict an individual hen's future progeny.

Western Sections Grow Cheap Hops
Western competition drives hops from New York and will hinder Empire State yards. New York acreage fell from 27,532 to 12,028 acres 1880s to 1909, while Oregon rose and California grew modestly. Per-acre yields favor west coast states, with 1,398 pounds in California and 1,474 in Washington per acre versus 688 in New York. Domestic hops total nearly 26 million pounds in 1982, with exports peaking in 1925–1929. 1930 exports drop to 6.5 million. Foreign plantings rise as New York growers seek profits while inexperienced growers require training on varieties, disease control, and market knowledge. Root quality matters, cuttings yield, and first full harvest expected 1935 from current plantings. Powdery mildew and newly emerging downy mildews threaten New York plantings. California reports less impact from downy mildew.

Wisconsin agricultural expert George Briggs notes soybeans offer a near alfalfa level of feed at low cost. He calls soybeans a double purpose crop usable as hay or pinch hitter when alfalfa or clover fail. Hay from soybeans can be produced with standard equipment and blends are advised where soybean yields are uncertain.

Strip farming gains ground in Saskatchewan district
In Saskatchewan a soil drifting problem led to adopting strip farming as a cost effective method recommended by the Department of Agriculture. About 2,500 acres of light land were planted in strips last season, allowing a four year dormant land to yield a crop. Practitioners plan to continue while non strip farmers plan to try it next year, with wider adoption anticipated in a few years.

Garden work can be done with simple tools in small plots. For up to 1,000 square feet a garden rake and hoe suffice, and for up to 10,000 square feet a wheel hoe helps. Larger gardens use a one horse cultivator with small shovels, while garden tractors with cultivator attachments are common where horsepower is limited.
