Wurthmp, urging self-reliance in farming, reducing debt by shifting to corn and oats, and advocating homemade fertilizer mixtures despite fertilizer costs. It reflects rural finances, labor use, and a prescription to revert to homegrown crops.

Prof Caldwell on Fertilizers Highlights in Boston Address
Cornell professor Caldwell argues commercial fertilizers supply needed plant food beyond stable manure. He lists six points: unlimited soluble options, long term profitability, humus distinguishes manure, soils hold insoluble nutrients, humus aids carbonic acid release, and soluble nutrients risk becoming insoluble before crops can use them.

The Hog Product and U S Swine Census Trends
The census bureau records 45,142,657 hogs in the United States valued at 226,401,683 dollars, a drop in per capita value but a slight rise in numbers. Prices fall due to corn, policy, and rumors, yet demand may rebound if pork output grows. France tightens hog imports, causing tensions between consumers and producers and a likely long-term impact on hog prices.
