A 19th century field trial tests tents over crops like strawberries cucumbers and celery. Results show limited value for some plants under rain and sun, while lettuce celery and cauliflower show improved growth, blanched color and yield inside closed or open tents, with open tents aiding pollination for cucumbers.
The report compares lettuce from tent shading against open ground in the north and south sections. Outside plants showed higher yields while inside tents the initial growth was slower but leaves were more tender. Aug 20 results indicate open ground produced heavier overall yields.
An article by C. G. Williams discusses dairy profits amidst high grain prices and explores whether silage from the Ohio agricultural station could replace a large portion of grain in dairy cow rations. The piece examines if reduced grain feeding could maintain milk and butter fat production and improve profit.
A dairy cow feeding trial compared two rations with nearly equal dry matter. One used silage for over 20 percent of dry matter and produced 986.7 pounds of milk and 5.08 pounds of butter fat per hundred pounds of dry matter. the other used more than 60 percent grain with no silage and produced 835 pounds of milk and 3.9 pounds of butter fat. Feed costs and profits favored the silage ration, with net profit per cow per month at 0.5 and 2.165 respectively after costs. Cows on silage fell slightly in milk but grew in butter fat. grain-fed cows fell more in milk and butter fat. Both groups gained weight. The report suggests silage can replace a substantial portion of grain and future gains via protein-rich forages.
Farmers learn moisture loss in soil can reach about an inch per four days with abundant moisture. Frequent shallow cultivations, up to two inches, help on many soils, but muck soils benefit from single cultivation. Harrowing winter wheat and dry earth mulch with barrows reduce evaporation, while rolling grain after emergence creates a dry mulch and improves capillarity.
Vermont experiment station findings show open trees yield more sap than shaded ones with branchy sides. A 1.5 inch bore produced more sugar than deeper tissue, and 4 feet tapping height outperformed ground level. A 3/8 to 5/8 inch bit minimizes wound depth while maximizing early sap return.
The population of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory is estimated at 1,200,600. The territories cover 60,850 square miles and nearly 45,000,000 acres, with most of the land fertile and well watered.

A historical account describes how intense sun heat and desert dryness create sandstorms in Africa and Arabia. Heated sand drives rising air, forming cyclones that sweep with wind, causing extreme temperatures up to 126 degrees in shade and choking dust. Caravans and armies were reportedly overwhelmed by these storms.
A summary of W S Pearwood described in Harper's Magazine stating that deep ocean fish are carnivorous below 200 fathoms and that the Atlantic Sargasso Sea supports vast vegetable food for countless deep sea creatures.
