Complete Fertilizer Wins Acre Profit Test
A 1917 Michigan state board of agriculture report shows complete fertilizer on a wheat rotation increased yield by 13 bushels per acre. Old-price profit for the fertilizer year was 13.51 dollars per acre, while using phosphoric acid and potash yielded a net gain of 12.79 dollars per acre. Acid phosphate alone produced 8.61 dollars net. The findings note fertilizers have yielded good profits on similar soils.

Fertilizer Use and Profitability on Limited Manured Farms
The article argues that fertilizer can be profitable if drainage and cultivation are proper and that complete fertilizer pays best where manure is scarce. It also notes phosphorus and potash may be more profitable on well stocked farms depending on available manure.
Wheat A Hard Drinker
The article explains that wheat requires 450 to 500 pounds of water per pound produced and that soil moisture retention improves with early plowing and seedbed work. It notes that well fed wheat yields larger crops with less water, especially on rich soils, and that organic matter helps hold and release moisture for germination.
Don’t Wash Eggs Says Food Administration
Grocers should not wash eggs kept for sale as dirt on the shell is outside only. Washing destroys the gelatinous substance that protects against air and germs, and dirty eggs may be better for preservation. The public expects clean eggs, and washing leads to millions of spoiled eggs annually.
