Plainspoken horticultural notes describe seed selection from few plants, soaking and frost protection, soil preparation, furrow spacing, and planting density. The method prescribes deep plowing, alternating early vegetables, eight foot bean rows, three foot hill spacing, stout support with eight foot poles, and pruning to prevent crusting from heavy rains.
The article notes that large smooth seeds like peas and beans cannot be fully planted by shallow covering. It advises using a drill as the proper implement for sowing and covering, while warning that manual covering with a hoe is laborious. A good drill is affordable and every farmer should own one.
Agriculture notes describe favorable wheat output in Indiana and a trend toward creameries in Kentucky. Data show women as a significant share of agricultural workers in Germany and the U S. Practical tips cover seed rates, harrowing, potato yields, grape and berry care, asparagus mulching, and butter storage in crocks for quality and longevity.
