Buffer Strips Prove Worth This Summer
The Mutti DeMott farm near Bedford shows color and soil conservation gains from spring buffer strips. Six miles south of Bedford on highway 148 the 192 acre project uses variable width buffers with contour cultivation to reduce soil erosion and improve moisture retention. The demonstration, led by C T Cheney, indicates drainage follows furrows slowly, aiding soil intake and reducing particle movement. This inexpensive method may boost future adoption as the farm moves toward full bloom.

Burden To Locker In A Day For Green Peas

The text discusses distance walked to set the table from the place where dishes are kept and suggests a dish cupboard within arm’s reach of the sink. It recommends a wheel tray to cut steps, planning four work centers for raw-food prep, cooking, serving, and clearing, and storing away unused items for hot weather while keeping winter baking supplies accessible.
