A travel letter from W T Norl of Unionville details a train route from Kansas City to Portland with times, weather, and impressions.

A reader recalls an early morning flight bound for San Francisco that departed at 5 15 a m and returned at 6 165 p m totaling 10 hours 15 minutes and about 1100 miles. Lieut Kelley piloted the plane with a Portland Journal reporter aboard.
A prominent French newspaper proposes settling part of France debt to the United States and Britain with colonial transfers. It urges US control of the French West Indies and Britain to receive the French Pacific islands. The plan’s acceptance by the French public is uncertain and may involve U S and UK consultation. The United States already holds West Indian possessions, suggesting more could be beneficial.
The fragment cites an author linked to a famous Pennsylvania poem and lists a garbled title and publication note. It mentions a person described as a poet and author, with a date sequence and a New York publication reference behind a collection of poems.
The article argues for cooperative marketing under new Missouri laws and federal rules. It traces history from the Sherman Act through 1920s reforms, cites the Missouri Farmers Association as a statewide marketing body, and explains farmer liability under partnership vs corporation law. It notes previous failed efforts like the Grange and Farmers Store ideas and highlights how cooperatives aim to empower farmers at terminal markets.
D Graber of Wisconsin College of Agriculture argues alfalfa yields equal to or better than bran per acre. Wisconsin dairy farmers expanded alfalfa acreage from 150000 in 1923 to 267000 in 1934, with expectant rise toward 400000 for 1925. Alfalfa's high digestible protein and energy reduce need for costly concentrates, and trials show milk increases when alfalfa substitutes for bran.
A Central Experimental Farm trial with Ayrshire and Holstein cows compared alfalfa meal to bran in standard rations. Cows fed meals with bran or alfalfa meal showed alfalfa less valuable as dairy feed, though economics depend on relative prices. If alfalfa meal costs 10 to 15 cents less per unit, it may prove more economical.
A crude farming note explains two methods to stop cows from breaking fences. Feed cows fully so they are content, and tighten fence wires closely so they cannot lift their heads. It warns that once cows learn to break a fence, stopping the habit is difficult.
