Water mixed by pedal control at wash stand
A pedal operated valve system admits cold water from one end and hot water from the other. Pressing the pedal separately yields cold or hot water, while pressing fully combines both streams to produce moderately warm water for use at a wash stand.
Early Plowing Encouraged for Next Year’s Bread and Meat
Early plowing is desirable as every acre turned before fall and winter rains will enrich soil for next year’s bread and meat supply. Feed and food are in great demand. Have your cows tested by joining a cow testing association if you haven’t tried testing them yourself.
Soybeans Help to Solve Food Problem
The U S department of agriculture promotes soybeans as home grown protein for livestock feed. Adapted varieties grow across the country, boosting soil fertility and yield on impoverished lands. Grinding mills and engines enable processing, with soy meal protein content higher than cottonseed meal, suggesting lower costs as production expands.

Control of Insect Disease Warns New England Gardeners
The United States Department of Agriculture appeals to New England gardeners to burn dead vegetation after killing frost to curb the European corn borer. Fire destruction of infested stock, stubble, and weeds is the only known method to combat this pest, which has been found in eastern Massachusetts. If not halted, it could spread to major corn producing regions and threaten prosperity and food stocks. The pest likely arrived from Europe and may appear in other New England states. Report sightings to the state agricultural college or the USDA Bureau of Entomology in Washington.
