Should Tobacco Stubbles Be Plowed Up A Debate From A. P. Patterson
In Aurelia Springs North Carolina Dr H B Battle advised farmers to plow up tobacco stubbles claiming the soil benefits from constant cultivation. A letter argues that natural cycles restore fertility through vegetation and decay, while plowing disturbs nutrients and worsens erosion. A mob incident in Pisa involved Austrian pilgrims forced to shout Viva il Re and Professor Ackerie is missing, suspected murdered.
