Clover and Wheat Relation in Soil Nitrogen Dynamics
A Rural New Yorker insight explains clover before wheat improves soil for the cereal, not by feeding on atmospheric nitrogen but by shifting available soil nitrogen. It reviews experiments by Boussingault Ville Lawes Gilbert Pugh, notes clover often does not thrive on limited nitrogen, and argues clover’s benefit lies in soil nitrogen redistribution and timing of growth. It also covers threshing efficiency, straw stacking, and early ploughing for wheat yields with regional observations and recommendations.

Transplanting Essentials For Healthy Plant Growth
An exploration of transplanting in gardening. It explains transpiration as the essential water loss through leaves, the role of young roots in water uptake, and how moisture, weather, and soil contact impact transplant success. The piece emphasizes damp, cloudy days for planting and avoiding drying of delicate root portions.
Drilled Row Cultivation Beats Checks in Corn Planting
A rural advice piece argues for drill-row planting and flat cultivation over check spacing. It notes corn with 10 foot stalks fared as well in high winds as neighbors with taller or shorter stands, emphasizing root systems and shallow culture. Hay stacks are praised for ventilation and protection from moisture and vermin, but require careful placement and open storage.

Transplanting Guidelines For Roots and Soil Contact
The article explains how root hairs absorb water and how older roots shed while new ones form after transplanting. It advises pressing soil against young roots, preserving fibrous tips, reducing leaf surface to cut evaporation, shading small plants, and watering frequently, especially on cloudy days or after rain.
Agricultural prospects for crops and yields noted
The report surveys major crops with acreage shifts and stood quality. Oats show a decline from last year due to damaged seed and replanting. corn acreage up but poorer stands. potatoes average with high beetle pressure. tobacco acreage up with fair stands. fruit expects a fair to good year for apples and pears, peaches likely weak, small fruits abundant. All crops two to three weeks late.

Garden hints and farm notes from Moon on pests and crops
Samuel C Moon suggests smoke treatment to drive rose bugs from grapevines, with damp chips or straw heated in kettles hung on arbors for diffusion. Hawks and owls aid farmers by controlling rodents. crows perform mixed benefits. The peach tree borer comes from a moth, with eggs laid at the tree collar in July to September. Tarred felt at six inches above ground can protect trees. Cattle imports are rising, signaling a strong year for thoroughbreds. An antidote for pear blight is lime, bone phosphate, and sulphur under each tree. Broom corn stock remains low, possibly the lowest in ten years.
