Fertilizer Knowledge Boosts Farm Incomes
U S Department of Agriculture notes 7 5 million tons used yearly by American farmers and that fertilizer can raise yields and profits. Expert Dr Oswald Schreiner says one dollar invested yields about three dollars return and advises intelligent lime and complete fertilizer use to double or triple pasture yields and protein content while stressing manure and green manures as essential supplements.

Cutting Small Trees Proves Costly In Forestry Advice
Parker Anderson of the University of Minnesota extension division cautions farmers against cutting small trees. He notes small trees under 12 inches are unprofitable, while leaving trees to reach 16 to 18 inches in diameter boosts future yield and higher grades. Lake States Experiment Station data show harvesting eight inch logs costs about $20 per thousand board feet versus $9.37 for 24 inch logs.

Many Small Farms Missed in 1940 Census
Government officials estimate about 5 000 farms under three acres worked full time last year. The 1940 census did not list such tiny tracts unless they produced at least 250 dollars in 1929. Areas over three acres were counted if actually farmed.
Serious Insect Pest of Potatoes Named Leaf Hopper
The leaf hopper is the most serious potato pest, a small green insect feeding on leaf undersides. It causes leaves to curl and brown at the margins, and unsprayed fields have suffered yield losses up to 100 percent. Bordeaux mixture 4-4% is cited as the most effective control.
Peas Dominate Canneries In Early 20th Century Output
The United States Department of Agriculture notes peas lead all canning vegetables since 1005 with 17,043,000 cases packed in 1024. Peas suit well with other vegetables, require well drained soil, and benefit soil nitrogen as legumes. Early spring planting and rotation help yields. pea crops influence subsequent wheat yields in New York by five to eighteen bushels per acre.

Rocket planes may reach great speed by rocket motor car
Germany's Dr Heylandt predicts rockets will enable planes to travel from Europe to the United States in six to eight hours. He envisions aircraft that take off on a conventional engine and switch to rocket propulsion at altitude, with later models using rocket power alone. The concept, demonstrated via Max Valler's rocket car, uses liquid oxygen and fuel in a tube to propel the vehicle with a visible exhaust trail.

German rocket plane hits high speed over airfield
In Dusseldorf Gottibob Eapenlaub, an arrow shaped tailless plane pilot, flew a rocket powered craft at 05 miles per hour, lifting three rockets burning six seconds each to reach 6F feet and fly over the airfield. Rockets produced 660 pounds of thrust. Kapeniaub’s project differs from Max Vatler’s 16 mile per hour rocket motor car.
