New California Rose Bred From Blackberry Bush Manages Novel Bloom
A California resident has evolved a rose that buds on a blackberry bush and yields a white carnation like flower with irregular center shoots. The foliage remains blackberry, while growth is rapid and prolific despite many cross attempts by botanists. A gasoline driven self guiding field vehicle is also highlighted for small scale farming, using circular fields and circular rows while attaching standard row-crop implements.

Soil Cultivation and British Wheat Supply Observations
The article discusses soil cultivation practices to conserve moisture and prevent over-drying. It includes a London Times summary noting pigweed signals rich soil, warns against fresh manure, and argues for topsoil management and crop rotation.

Pig Feeding as a Science for Breeding Pigs
The article outlines protein and water rations for pigs raised for breeding versus market. Breeding pigs start at 0.5 lb digestible crude protein per 100 lb live weight at 2 months, adjust through weeks, and mature to about 0.2 lb per 100 lb by age 2 years. water starts at 13 lb per 100 lb at 2 months and declines to 8–10 lb by 18 months. Market pigs begin at 0.6–0.7 lb protein per 100 lb and follow a shorter adjustment path to prime condition around 8 months.
Land concentration in the United States rivaling foreign holdings
A Philadelphia Record summary notes vast land concentrations in the United States.

It highlights widespread concentration across several states and by prominent interests like Weyerhaeuser and major railroads.
