Fertility of soil and the farm's long term stewardship
M W Greer argues at a Farmers Institute in Ruckville that soil fertility can be maintained or increased through proper management. He defines fertility as the soil's ability to furnish plant food and notes bone meal helps wheat, but only if nutrients are available to plants. He warns that ongoing cropping removes elements, depleting the soil, regardless of terminology used.

Kafir corn gains favor where Indian corn fails. Barley unreliable at Keneas Station. An Iowa farmer cites a mixed pea oats barley wheat substitute as a successful crop. Taft warns Michigan horticulturists about the San Jose scale. A Southern Kansas correspondent finds crimson clover unprofitable in spring sowing. Late summer or early fall best for sowing 15 to 20 pounds per acre. Colorado farmer: brine adds flavor to sugar cured hams.
