Extra horses aid plowing efficiency per USDA bulletin
A USDA bulletin shows adding one more horse to a 14 inch walk-behind plow and a two-horse team can raise work output by about 25 percent. The extra horse may raise plowing cost, but if idle, the additional labor is offset. Bulletin 560 notes keeping horses busy on productive tasks reduces daily costs. Many farms have idle horses except during soil preparation.

Seed Treatment Methods For Hard Clover Seed
The article explains that hard seed resists moisture and can delay germination. Soaking in commercial sulphuric acid for thirty minutes followed by thorough washing softens the seed coat and aids germination. Alternative methods include using a scarifier or scratcher. Farmers are advised to plant thicker if seed isn’t treated. Miss Annah Joe Pendleton returns from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth after the recent commencement.
