Soils analysis not offered by agricultural station
Bulletin LVI from the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station Geneva explains why soil analysis is not provided. It shows the tiny proportion of soil needed for testing, notes the vast scale of soil and nutrients, and argues that soil analyses do not reveal exact fertilizer requirements for individual fields. It cites E. Lewis Stortevast, director, and discusses variability, leaching, and plant access to nutrients.

August guidance for killing willows in fields

Large roots may require surface exposure and digging. Sprouts may recur if cuts occur year round. Willow regrowth is common and requires careful removal.
Destructive clearing advice for hazel bushes
The text explains that cutting hazel bushes close to the ground and pasturing with sheep is the easiest and most effective method to destroy them.
