Crimson clover as a soil improver for fall potatoes
Bryn Tyson of Ollie North Carolina argues crimson clover sown in August can be plowed under before potato planting to enrich soil. He recommends broadcasting 300 pounds of acid phosphate and 400 pounds of kainit per acre, with adjustments up to 700 pounds total, then turning the clover as it ripens.

Mulching Potatoes Affects Growth In Mountain Climate
Correspondence from Bryan Tyson discusses potato cultivation in Ecuador and the United States. It argues that mulching with straw or leaves lowers soil temperature, increases yield by 50 to 100 percent, and helps late planting by around June 20. It notes differences for sweet potatoes, grapes, peaches, and apples, and recommends temporary mulch removal after spring frost danger.

Sugar beets can serve as stock feed but high growing and harvesting costs limit use. Roots carry soil from underground growth and require washing. Above ground margold beets grow easier and cleaner though with lower sugar content.

Toy house fraud in a Bingham subdivision swindle
The Chicago Record reports a real estate swindle in a town like Bingham where a man subdivided a run down farm into tiny toy lots and built miniature roads and houses. He used manipulated photos to show a grand street with pipes and a factory, claiming twenty houses existed. A farmer traded cattle for four lots and confronted the swindler, who argues the photos prove truth.
