Rotation and clover plan to restore Southern cotton soils
The Progressive Farmer urges concerted action to curb cotton acreage but argues against a blanket pledge. It promotes soil fertility through crop rotation, peas and crimson clover, and balanced fertilizers with potash, insisting cotton be a money crop, not the sole focus. It details a seasonal plan: broadcast peas next spring, apply acid phosphate and potash, harvest and feed peas as hay, then plow stubble, sow crimson clover, and rotate through corn and oats with continued fertilization to build soil fertility for cotton.
The Other Cotton Producers Report on European Demand and Quality
The New York Journal of Commerce notes Europe buys three fourths of Indian cotton, with Belgium averaging 179000 bales from 1890 to 1894 but 97000 in 1895. Complaints spread beyond Belgium about deteriorating quality and poor marketing. Belgian 1895 US imports rival earlier years, Egyptian output remains limited by Nile conditions, and Indian cotton lags behind US quality.

Farm Notes on Wheat and Pigs and Pasture Use
N J Shepard argues in the Forum that growing wheat and potatoes suits rotation and markets. Save wheat straw for hog bedding and provide hogs with ample pasture rather than confinement. A mix of good pasturage, modest grain, and green foods like clover supports rapid, low cost pig growth even when penned.

Fall Plowing and Humus in Clay Soils
Fall plowing aids heavy clay lands by opening mineral deposits to plant use. Humus from decaying vegetation supplies carbonic acid that dissolves minerals, enabling plants to access essential nutrients.
Humus and soil enrichments boost plant growth and moisture
The text explains humus as the active agent improving soil structure, moisture retention, and gas absorption, benefiting both stiff clay and sandy soils. It notes clover's role with phosphate and lime, and the need for potash to aid clover seed production.
The Recent Rise In Wheat Markets and Dangers

Bradstreet's commentary argues no need to fear wheat price declines after a recent rise of about twenty two cents per bushel. It notes ample supply globally, questions Russia shortages and Argentina yield fears, yet warns that past four years of high output have waned and both Europe and the United States face tighter conditions. The London Economist sees higher prices ahead and the US holds the key to exports as demand abroad grows.
