Broadacres Farm Chronicle of Corn, Cotton, and Carriage
A detailed tour of Broadacres describes corn varieties and fertilization under a Rockefeller principle plan costing 24 cents a bushel. Government cotton experts assess a fertilization plot while fields yield twice as much as last year. The estate features a red-painted equipment shed, a model dairy barn praised as the cleanest in North Carolina, and a polo of Yale graduates active in sports and farming. President Young of the Norfolk Southern Railroad visits the village in October.
