Dry Tepary Beans As Arid Southwest Crop For Nitrogen And Profit
Freeman reports on dry farming in the arid southwest and the need for a leguminous rotation crop to preserve soil nitrogen and provide steady returns. Field work at the Arizona Experiment Station identifies tepary beans as hardy, with many varieties. Papago Indian cultivation and local strains show drought tolerance, with several seed types named white and yellow varieties.

Ten Hints to Dry Farmers

It stresses deep plowing, early spring work, disc and harrow use, thinning woods to conserve moisture, crop rotation, manure returns, deep planting, on site seed, adequate power and machinery, and learning from personal success and failure to improve yields.

Not Difficult to Handle Full Litter Breeding Advice
The author argues against twice yearly farrowing, stressing care, housing, exercise, and summer pasture. Fall litters benefit from abundant feed and milk byproducts, with better vigor and profitability than spring litters. Proper management, dry quarters, and ample forage yield thrifty pigs ready for summer markets or as feeders for the next fall. Two litters yearly seen as more reliable breeding. one-litter farming hard on sows.

Fertility Retained in Feeding Alfalfa Yields High Hay
An alfalfa crop yields about 8 000 pounds of cured hay per acre per season containing 6 430 pounds of dry matter. It shows greater removal of potash and other ash constituents than clover, but returning manure preserves soil fertility. Nitrogen gathering bacteria let alfalfa use air nitrogen, and moderate nitrate fertilization adds profit, as Prof. Dyer found.

Water Use in Orchards and Gardens
Water demand for crops is discussed with emphasis on how weeds compete for moisture. In a young orchard a garden crop between rows is acceptable if both garden and orchard receive sufficient water. Under drought, the orchard takes all available water, so conserve by maintaining a constant dust mulch between rows.
Winter Cover Crops for Soil Improvement
Winter cover crops such as Trye, bariay, wheat and ost are suggested to improve soil when plowed under by increasing vegetable matter. A mix of clover or vetch with a crabgrass cover crop often performs better than a single species for green manure.
Height of Roosts for Asiatic Fowl Breeds
Roost heights for Brahmas and Cochins should not exceed a foot. Heavy birds struggle to fly, so floor roosting is preferred by some breeders. Avoid drafts when doors are loose. Cut straw bedding is effective, and daily droppings cleanup keeps fowls comfortable on the floor or roosts.
Telephone as Aid to Agriculturist
In days of scarce help the telephone’s value becomes clearer. It moves messages to town and neighbors with rapidity, summons doctor and aid at all hours, and brings reliable help to the farm, saving time and effort for farmers.
Veteh Hay Declared Valuable Annual Crop
Veteh is valuable hay and an annual. If not cut at the proper time it can become troublesome to eradicate, especially in cape catty where wheat is grown. Cut for hay when in blossom or three to four days before full seed. Cures like clover and makes valuable hay. Likely grown less due to high cost.
Best Grass for Dry Areas and Its Grazing Outlook
The article outlines a drought tolerant grass suited for dry regions. Once established it grazes early in the season, earlier than native prairies but later than winter rye. It provides grazing in autumn proportional to rainfall and should offer more grazing than native grasses throughout the season.
Failure of Trees Due to Poor Root Systems
Report notes that many young forest trees dug up for planting lack florous roots, a major factor in their failure in woods and Uraba areas. This condition threatens reforestation efforts as saplings die after transplantation.
