Western hop crops shift to the West and decline in New York
Prof H H Whetsel notes Western expansion pressures New York hop yards as acreage drops from 27 582 in 1889 to 12 023 in 1909 while Oregon and California rise. Yields differ sharply with New York 688 lbs per acre vs California 1 361, Oregon 674, and Washington 1 474. Exports fall after 1929, while English and continental plantings grow. New York growers may profit with experienced care. roots, varieties, disease control, and market knowledge are crucial though first-year crops are absent. Downy mildew threatens newer plantings beyond powdery mildew.

Wisconsin agricultural expert George Briggs of the state college argues 1933 feed crops favor soybeans as a near alfalfa substitute. He calls soybeans a double purpose crop usable as hay and a pinch starter, noting hay quality and timing. Briggs suggests pure soybean hay yields best results, mixtures only if soybean harvest is uncertain.

Strip Farming Trial in Saskatchewan District
A Saskatchewan district adopts strip farming after advice from the Department of Agriculture. The low-cost method, promising no machinery, expanded to about 2,500 acres of light land last season. Farmers on thin stubble fields reported first-time crops in four years and many plan to continue or begin strip farming this year, expecting wider adoption soon.

Garden Tools For Small To Large Plots
Garden work scales with garden size from a rake and hoe for under 1000 square feet to a Wheel hoe for up to 10000 square feet. For larger plots a one horse cultivator with small shovels reduces ridging, and garden tractors with cultivator attachments expand work where horsepower is limited. The large farm garden can be tilled with standard equipment.
