A Michigan observer compares cultivated versus uncultivated orchards, noting deeper roots and better frost resistance in well managed plots. The piece cites experiments on potash forms for potatoes, sheep tapeworm disease in livestock, and windmill irrigation for Midwest gardens.

Professor Carpenter Urges Surplus Water Storage for Droughts
Professor L G Carpenter of the State Agricultural College argues for storing flood water in reservoirs to use during drought years. He cites record flows in the Cache la Poudre river basin and says surplus water could save hundreds of thousands of dollars in state value and stabilize annual supplies. James J Armstrong supports expanding Colorado reservoirs to equalize water supply.

Irrigation Lateral Layout On Hills Needs Gentle Fall
An old farming guide argues for minimal fall in irrigation laterals on hills to prevent washout. It cautions against routing carry ditches around hills and favors letting laterals descend with slight incline to maintain even water flow and reduce erosion. It notes furrow irrigation for potatoes and non flooded crops should follow land contours.

Colorado first big shearing credited to D T Clark in Mesa County
The initial shearing in Colorado is attributed to D T Clark of Mesa County with deck hands paid off. Wool is very fine and dust free this spring. Weights run nearly double last season and Clark expects sheep to move to summer ranges near Crested Butte. In Wyoming steam shears add weight and length, lifting wool into staple grade and boosting price. Labor shortages worry ranchers as lambing peaks and Mexican workers are scarce.
