New agrostologist Spillman maps hay and grass distribution
Prof. W. J. Spillman, new agrostologist for the Department of Agriculture, presents Census Office maps showing hay and grass distribution across the U S. Alabama and Georgia lag in fertilizer use, while Illinois favors livestock and grasses. Spillman notes South soil wear and potential for livestock farming. He hails from Pullman Washington, cites Palouse wheat yields and exceptional lava-derived soil fertility near the Snake River canyon.
