Labor is the limiting factor in crop production this year with horses relatively plentiful. O. R. Johnson of the Missouri College of Agriculture urges farmers to lay aside one-man and two-horse tools to make better use of available horsepower.
The text argues that more horses per worker raises output: one man with three horses on a 16 inch plow can turn under three acres a day, while a gang plow with two 12 inch bottoms and one extra horse yields about 434 acres daily. Riding implements outperform walking ones, and bigger tools plus well-prepared seedbeds shorten cultivation time, enabling more acres per man.
Gardeners often harvest seed from many plants for the table and neglect careful selection. This leads to varieties weakening as inferior plants propagate. A little time saving the best early specimens can improve varieties instead of injuring them.
A U S reporter recalls traveling with a 14 member party to Europe, including ten Congress members, as World War I rages. He praises Allied resolve, notes Belgian neutrality, French sacrifices, and American entry under General Pershing, urging U S support with money and men to defeat autocracy.
The remark notes that women who appear on U S dollars used to buy Liberty Bonds will be able to speak eloquently to the world, reinforcing the idea of female voices in wartime fundraising and public discourse.
