The Dixon Sun surveys crops in England with dire outlooks and offers practical farming advice. It covers home manure composting, sowing corn for butter, pig rearing, brine use on quince bushes, fence-post drainage, and fruit thinning to protect pear yields.
J F Wade of Clay County Iowa recounts reviving a long managed two to three acre orchard near Lockport New York. He describes winter trimming ground work and frequent plowing plus heavy manuring and soft soap applications. The result yields 208 barrels at 63 cents and later 360 barrels at 1.94 per barrel. He emphasizes continuous soil work and high feeding to reduce knotty and wormy apples and encourage annual bearing.
