One Reason Why Prices Are High
The text argues that massive paper money and promises to pay have devalued currency, while prices rise as a result. It notes war bonds and private credits won’t retire soon, prolonging high prices for years. It adds farm demand and war-devastated fields keep prices elevated as crops recover slowly.
Well Fed Wheat Plants Resist Insect Attack
County agricultural agent V. V. Clark of Marshall County Indiana reports demonstrations showing that well-fed wheat with good seedbed and proper tillage and fertilization resists Hessian fly and joint worm. He recommends negatively tempered fertilizers to force growth and improve winter hardiness.

World records in wheat growing from 19th century data
The record wheat yield reached 117.2 bushels per acre in 1895 at an 18 acre Island county Washington field. Rothamsted England reports 36 bushels per acre over 60 years, while unfertilized England land averaged about 12 to 15 bushels. An annual fertilizer mix of nitrogen phosphoric acid and potash raised yields by roughly 24 bushels per acre.

Two Ways to Increase Wheat Crop Yields
Wheat growers have two overlooked opportunities to boost yields. The article urges farmers to review planting timing and soil practices to maximize output, noting neglected steps can limit production and profits.
Early spring top-dressing boosts wheat yields with ammoniated phosphate
The article advises top-dressing wheat in early spring with ammoniated phosphate fertilizer to strengthen seedlings and boost yields by promoting tillering and larger stalks. It notes manure should be spread thinly in winter and favors broadcast methods over drifts, with drills usable if hoes are kept off the ground.
Government Advice to Wheat Growers on Hessian Fly Control
Officials urge farmers to combine soil preparation and quality seed with careful sowing to combat Hessian fly. Strong plants resist more damage and may even benefit from light attacks, while overcautious fertigation can risk winter losses. Begin field prep early using disk harrow and roller to create a fine seedbed for early sowing.

Wheat growth and soil prep to beat Hessian fly
The circular from the U S Department of Agriculture explains that well prepared soil delays sowing and promotes strong wheat growth to endure Hessian fly attacks. It notes that underfed plants suffer stunting and that continuous cropping with good soil increases resilience to pests.
Fertilize Liberally Says Alva Agen Advice
A quotation from Alva Agen in National Stockman and Mariner urges careful fertilization to maximize net income. He warns that lacking capital for fertilizers risks poor crops and criticizes investing in seeds without proper planning.
England Must Increase Wheat Yields
The Rothamstead England station leader Russell says the English farmer must increase yields by strengthening straw improving tillering regulating grain development and pest control. He notes Americans produce far fewer bushels per acre than England and argues for greater soil fertility and higher yields per acre.

Fertilizer analysis plans slow to unify standards
Elusive fertilizer analysts face a maze of 90 different analyses as manufacturers and state crop experts push for standardization. The lack of a common method delays plans to unify testing and labeling across the industry.
Wheat and onion crop choices for soil and manure conditions
The text outlines selecting soil amendments for wheat and onions based on manure use, soil type, and crop rotation. It stresses separating grades for mixing, bargaining, listing, and bookkeeping to save money and avoid confusion, with different analyses for wheat under varying manure and clover conditions.
Will Your Land Grow Good Clover This Year
An agricultural note argues clover thrives where soil fertility is adequate and emphasizes initial fertilization. It warns that poor land requires lime or plant food before clover will flourish and that using manure alone won’t restore depleted soil.

The Wheat That Does Not Winter Kill
A report contrasts two wheat plants grown on identical days to show how root and shoot growth, soil fertility, and shelter affect winter survival. One plant thrived under high fertilizer and dense roots, while the other failed due to poor roots and lack of nourishment, illustrating causes of heaved wheat and winter loss.
Hoover predicts large American grain exports to Europe
Herbert Hoover surveys Europe grain needs and sources of supply and foresees Europe importing about 850 million bushels of wheat and rye from the 1919 crop. He counts on roughly 450 million bushels from the United States, noting that even with a bumper crop the extra demand will be substantial compared with 1918 exports.
