Treat Small Grain for Smut With Formaldehyde
Small grain may be treated for smut with formaldehyde or copper carbonate. The corn smut is a different problem and seed treatment yields little value since corn smut is carried in soil. Avoid seed ears or plants infected with smut to help build up a resistant strain, a process that will take many years.
Best Depth for Plowing Depends Much on Soil
The proper plow depth for corn and wheat depends on soil texture and conditions. Shallow plowing is under five inches, deep plowing over six inches, with six inches as a practical limit. Fall plowing favors deeper work for corn next year, while shallower helps wheat or oats.

Farming guidance on crop choices and soil care notes
The fragment advises testing crops and seed origin, careful grazing timing, pruning vines for best fruit, and prioritizing soil productivity. It warns against overplanting cash crops, stresses early pasture and grain management, and recommends soybeans, alfalfa timing, chick brooding care, and avoiding cocklebur spread while suggesting corn planting and proper cultivation.
Best Returns From Sheep
There are no farm animals that will stand neglect and still yield profit as sheep. Many farmers neglect sheep yet expect better cash returns than from other farm enterprises. A tragic feature of farming is farmers' unwillingness to trust farm specialists or “book farmers.”
