Soil tests and plant demands guide rational manuring
Farmers increasingly turn to artificial manures, guided by soil needs of different fields and crops. Plant driven soil testing, not chemical analyses, reveals what nutrients are required, helping choose crops to expose deficiencies and optimize fertility. Agricultural colleges and Georgia programs advance soil-study results to improve pastures, hay, and overall farm practice.

Clover as Manure in Clover and Nitrogen Tests
Cornell professor J P Roberts reports field trials where six years of manuring and cultivation preceded wheat and clover. Plowing under two crops of clover yielded substantial plant food for wheat, equivalent to ten tons of hay and nearly three quarters of a ton of ammoniated phosphate, implying clover recovers soil nutrients rather than creates them.

Afternoon hay making beats morning cuts for quality and labor
The article argues that cutting grass in the afternoon after dew and completing haying by evening minimizes dew drying time and weather risk. Afternoon cutting reduces curing costs, eases handling with a tedder, and improves yield, especially for heavier crops, compared to morning cuts.
