A Cor. Fruit Recorder piece on window gardening shares tips from a longtime grower. He praises floral abundance and outlines practical steps for potting soil, pest control, and feeding while recommending removing aging trees to keep an orchard vigorous and productive.
A Prairie Farmer correspondent describes heavy wire worm destruction of first crop corn, repairs with replanting using soaked seed and copper sulfate water, and notes a neighbor soaked seed with kerosene oil. Additional notes cover a homemade planting marker, methods to barren trees bear fruit, and Short Horn cattle profitability with beef yields and prices.
