World population forecasts by Sir George H Knibbs
Knibbs presents estimates for world population under varying premises from 2.94 billion up to 15.34 billion. He notes uncertainty whether the 5 billion ceiling will be reached, depending on living standards, national biases, and scientific progress. An optimistic path could push toward 7 billion with shifts in efficiency and resources. Ad shows Cuticura products for scalp care as a separate insert.

Crop Rotation Value Highlighted by USDA Bulletin
The United States Department of Agriculture reports crop rotation as a productive practice nearly as effective as manure or fertilizers for wheat corn and oats, increasing yields when combined with manure and fertilizers. Studies show rotation boosts yields and profits with minimal extra cost, and results vary by region with best gains from integrating rotation with fertilizers. Written for farmers, the bulletin stresses understanding core rotation principles and offers a copy via USDA.

Balanced Ration Elements for Profitable Hog Production
J Hope Leod University of Tennessee extension swine specialist notes a balanced ration drives profitability. He urges feeding the most to maximize litter weight and reduce cost per pound, recommending corn base with tankage and short horn protein supplements, plus ample milk for added gains. Liberal feeding is key in the ton contest.

Place in Rotation Where Manure Gives Increases
A block of experiments to locate the rotation point where manure boosts yields shows sandy soils respond differently from other soils. Top dressings of manure or sand yield larger increases than plowing in manure. A post wheat top dressing helps protect clover stands. The test includes a rotation of corn, soybeans, wheat, and alfalfa with two years for alfalfa. Corn benefits from a 100 pound application of a 0-12-90 fertilizer in the row with lime.
