The Gratien Experiment Farm reports five seasons of trials showing early autumn ploughing for maize yields higher results than July ploughing. September plots averaged 53 bushels per acre versus 42.5 from July plots, with a net gain after costs of two extra cultivations. Benefits include better humus formation, moisture retention, and improved soil texture, leading to higher yields across seasons.
Sudan grass frost sensitivity delays sowing until warmth arrives as later plantings lead to weed competition. Best in arid areas through September or October on well prepared land, with close drilling for better yield. Emphasizes pure seed, warns on sorghum and sorghum Sudan hybrids causing poisoning, and notes practical grafting through fertiliser drill. Also mentions weather fact at Kew and the Haverfordwest mayor’s dual role.
The article describes the Little Gidding church in Huntingdonshire and the Ferrar community founded there in 1635. It notes Ferrar’s reforms, vows of celibacy, the artisans and scholars produced, and the lasting restoration of the church after two centuries. It also mentions Commonwealth loan details and Australian bond issuance in a separate section.
Fragmented OCR text describes evolving building standards and costs for materials and methods. Mentions metal rods, coatings such as bitumen, and implications for long term plant and infrastructure expenses. Notes about engineer reports, comparisons to past practices, and expectations for durability and modernization.
Samuel Hordern voices concerns over the Commonwealth Conversion Loan as a safe investment. He notes the government plans to convert a large £65,100,000 loan, with new funds bearing the new rate of interest, and emphasizes protections for small investors amid Treasury assurances and public debate.
