H M Bainer notes seed quality boosts yields and outlines soil care and rotation benefits. He highlights organic matter, summer fallow for limited rainfall, top-dressings for livestock regions, smut treatment, and three essentials for high protein wheat: climate, soil nitrogen, and suitable variety. He compares Southwest yields to Europe and urges diversification to improve soil health and profitability.
About one third of dairy cows are kept at a loss one third yield little or no profit and the profits come almost entirely from the remaining third. By intelligent culling based on individual records and feeding to production along with use of good purebred sires any herd can be placed on a paying basis.
High producers offset losses from low producers. Intelligent dairy animal selection is crucial. Successful dairying relies on many factors with culling as a key practice. Leading dairymen rigorously cull, and maintain feed records and milk weighings to gauge cow production accurately.
A New England bank study shows land value tied to diversification rather than fertility. In New York a 35 acre farm mortgaged six years ago was deeded to the bank after neighbors left for factory work at $7 a day. Maine shows higher value where diversified farming persists, while dairy regions stabilize land prices and steady income.
The United States Department reports 21 824 000 dairy cows and heifers over two years old as of January 1 1927, down from 1926 by 24 000. It marks the second year of decline but officials call it a favorable sign and cite strong agency support in the contest.
The article argues dairying could be more profitable by lowering dairy cow numbers while milk output remains sufficient. It notes a decline in cow counts but rising milk production, suggesting reducing cows to about 250 pounds of fat per cow annually would cut millions of cows without harming supply and boost farmer profits.
The text argues that old farming methods hinder efficiency and competitiveness. It contrasts cradle harvesting, one horse teams, and timothy hay with modern equipment, four horse hitches, tractors, and alfalfa or legume crops, urging farmers to adopt machinery to raise productivity and profits.
In Berlin a group of younger women establish a "Women's Smoking Club" where cigars are compulsory during sessions, as a bold alternative to cigarettes. The activity reflects daring, resourceful local social trends and their tribute to tobacco culture.
The Sears Roebuck Agricultural Foundation says tractors replace horses, shrinking oat demand. Oats production is projected at 1.204 billion bushels this year, down from 1.512 billion last year, with many pounds fed to cattle and only minor exports.
