A lecture by Prof. William H. Brewer discusses permanent grasslands as a stabilizing factor in farming. It covers grass species varieties, propagation methods, seed vs vegetative spread, and practical notes on turf grass propagation and field planting implications.
Correspondence promotes the Ontario Agricultural and Experimental Union annual meeting to be held December 10 and 11 at the Agricultural College Gulph Canada. It notes 11 000 agricultural plots across 2260 farms and describes the Union’s role in linking experiment station results with farmers and graduates.
Prof Bennett of the Arkansas Agricultural Station advises on year two pastures using clovers on poorer soils and mixed grasses for long term grazing. He discusses sowing methods for Bermuda and fescue, cow peas to enrich soil, and August sowing of crimson clover for winter grazing. The piece shifts to wheat markets, noting 1896 crop size, seaboard prices, southern port shifts, and potential foreign exchange from exports.
The Denver Field and Farm argues British farming suffers from landlordism while France, with peasant proprietors and co operation, shows success. The piece notes reduced fertilizer costs and higher yields in France and calls for English farmers to imitate the French model to avert ruin. It also cites growing American farmer cooperation as a hopeful sign.
