Asparagus Harvest Timing Based on 7 Year Tests
A seven year study from the College of Agriculture at University of Titinall finds asparagus should not be cut heavily in the first year after setting and often not until the third year.

Agricultural Notes on Seedling Trees and Cabbage Seeds
Foresters note evergreen seedling trees do best in Ohio when three years old at planting. Cabbage seed can be saved with hot water treatment to control diseases. New York potato growers plant 4 000 acres this year, up 2 percent from 1933. Livestock advisors urge whole milk for two weeks and shading on green grass for hog growth. Wool production in 29 countries declined 8 percent in 1933 from the 1922 record. White farmers north of the Rio Grande are paid to reduce acreage while Mexican valley growers harvest about 50 000 acres.
