True Economy in Farming Correspondence
The author argues farmers overemphasize economizing on fertilizer while underusing it. He notes better yields come from judicious, larger fertilizer applications, citing corn as needing three times the typical 200–300 pounds per acre. If funds prevent this, he suggests reducing acres to maintain profitability. An example from North Carolina’s Southern Pines experimental farm is referenced.

Harrowing corn boosts early growth and yields
Farmers often avoid harrowing corn after emergence, wrongly fearing damage to plants. A light harrow eight inches high, used every three to four days, removes young weeds and boosts plant vigor, with three or four passes delivering the best return on investment, as noted by the Pennsylvania Farmer.
