Electric culture tested twenty years shows little progress
After two decades of experiments the U S Department of Agriculture still seeks proof of electric methods affecting plant growth. L H Flint notes no conclusive results and says no practical electrical stimulation method has been developed. Earlier trials since 1907 showed variable outcomes but failed to establish a clear link to current. The report also notes a corn borer issue in Wisconsin entomology notes.

Farm Breeding Boosts Wheat Yields Across Regions
U S and Canadian farmers have raised wheat and oats yields by introducing new grain varieties. Marquis wheat, developed by artificial hybridization, now dominates about ten million acres in spring wheat belts. New winter varieties Blackhall and Kanreal cover wide belts, yielding two to three bushels more than standard types. oats show similar gains, while resistance to rust and other diseases improves.

Orchardist finds good use for discarded auto
An old light automobile was converted on Belmont county experimental farm to power a self-mixing dusting unit for apple and peach trees. A team guides the dusting outfit while another drives and operates the machine, enabling 8 times faster protection against insects and diseases than liquid spraying. The device, built by horticulturists, reduces orchard dusting to a daily task comparable to weekly spraying.
