Farm OPICS explains the value of keeping feed consumption records for livestock. It recommends per class record sheets, periodic checks against actual usage, and valuing feed to compute cost per pound of gain or per unit produced. Comparison standards come from cow testing, co op groups, and county agent guidance.
A 25 year old vigorous apple tree with a 600 pound crop uses about one third of a pound of nitrogen from the soil for the crop and about a half pound for wood bark and roots. Leaves take up one half to one pound of nitrogen but it is returned to the tree and soil. If leaching losses are prevented, one pound of nitrogen per year suffices for a full bearing tree though excess nitrogen harms fruit color. About 6 pounds nitrate or 5 pounds ammonium sulfate supply one pound nitrogen.
A comparative study shows farm equipment and motor vehicle purchases have doubled since the prewar five year period. Motor vehicles led the rise while other machinery stayed similar. Horses and mules declined from 25 to 15 million head, hired labor fell about 13 percent, farms rose by 10 percent, and cultivated acreage plus agricultural output increased.

A playful exchange asks if honesty could be measured by a pin test versus an umbrella. The dialogue teases moral cleverness with a wink, turning on a joke about trust and small items.
A brief wartime exchange shows a sergeant warning a private not to enter a guarded area. The private asks why and explains he just arrived yesterday. Soldiers also light improvised cigarettes as they move about.
Professor Bjorn and Mr. Dzudi debate the concept of civilization. Dzudi calls it a goddy idea and suggests someone should begin implementing it.
