Perishable Goods and the Pressing Demand for Novelty in Modern Fiction
A critic notes that most contemporary fiction quickly fades from use, as fame and novelty drive readers to new titles within months. The phenomenon, attributed to buyers' craving for fresh topics, harms literature by rewarding rapid turnover over lasting merit and discouraging sustained engagement with older works.

Cost of corn production in Iowa farms shows varying per bushel
The Iowa study on 23 farms reports costs from 27.6 to 71.7 cents per bushel. It notes a two row cultivator reduces costs about 50 cents per acre per cultivation, with three cultivations totaling roughly $1.50 an acre and about three cents per bushel on a 50 bushel crop. Labor remains a major cost and scarce, boosting interest in hitch demonstrations by the Horse Association of America to run larger teams with one man at little to no extra equipment.
