Plant contrasts and soil care noted in farm observations
The article discusses cotton boll height adjustment through plant design, knotty pine lumber grading by knots, corn germination power, a farmer refeeding stock with neighbor hay, and the protective and fertilizing roles of winter and spring snows on soil and vegetation. It highlights practical farming insights and seasonal implications for crop and livestock management.
Better methods for seed corn age testing advised
The article dismisses the jackknife test for seed corn as unreliable, likening it to tooth and horn tests for estimating a horse’s or cow’s age. It recommends using a better, surer method and keeping the jackknife unused for seed corn testing.
Alfalfa and Farm Practices Across States Highlighted
The piece argues alfalfa can profitably expand across North and South Dakota and other states, estimating returns of at least 50 to 100 dollars per acre through consistent yield and livestock benefits. It praises improved tools like rideable harrow carts and stresses careful soil use, fertilizer, and crop choices for poor soils, suggesting beans as a resilient option in hot, dry Augments.
