Washingtons Library Legacy a Question of Numbers
The Boston Athenaeum preservation and a 1831 sale shaped what remains of George Washingtons books.

A tidal question remains: exactly how many volumes did Washington own, and which titles survived in Boston archives and later auctions.

Redtop seed powerhouse fuels Illinois agriculture
A southern Illinois belt accounts for about 85 percent of world redtop grass seed, with 19,700 farms in the area. From 1922 through 1980 the average annual production exceeded 46 million pounds, valued around $1.4 million, and 1927 marked a record harvest of 118 million pounds. Production relies on soils, climate, and limestone fertilization, and future gains require fertile soil and fertilizer use despite not ideal conditions.
