Dust Blanket Guides Biannual Wheat Fields in Palouse
The Palouse region in the far north hosts wheat fields harvested only every second year. Deep plowing and a protective dust blanket retain moisture, enabling harvests of thirty to forty bushels per acre. German settlers’ experiments, once mocked, now justify large-scale farming costs and show western farmers can winter in California and travel abroad.

Feathers Fly Invention from East Office, ND
G Griggs of East Office North Dakota claims a fast poultry plucking device using an endless belt and finger assembly to pluck feathers without tearing skin. A pneumatic tube removes the feathers, promising reduced costs. Griggs, a civil engineer, notes the system works for all bird sizes and aims to lower labor costs by about 20 percent.
