The article notes eight years of crop records on the state farm that show consistent net profit per acre from hard wheat, with 1912 the peak and 1910 the low point. It argues soil fertility, weed control, and cost cuts through rotation and livestock feeding will help North Dakota compete with other wheat regions globally.
Claude Jones of North Dakota in Nebraska Farm Journal shares a practical concrete mixer plan. The frame uses two 6 by 6 planks 16 feet long with a 6 inch rear, a barrel acts as the mixer, a shaft through the bottom, and a crosspiece to raise or lower the barrel for dumping. A two horsepower engine and belts drive a pulley and sprockets to the barrel shaft. The process requires measured sand cement and water and warns to keep the barrel from warping by not lifting it while full.
The North Dakota experiment station promotes farm clubs to unite farmers for study and social life. County representatives start groups with shared plans, topics, and reports, aiming to raise production standards and foster community leadership across districts.

They outline that excess manure under varying soil conditions can shift acidity and microbial activity, with effects on plant nutrition and soil health. Also covered is ripe millet as hog feed, noting millet meal softens pork, must be balanced with grains, and long-term results from millet meal tests.
An old piece contrasts envy between business and farming, noting the farmer’s imagined independence while humorously describing a string of farm misfortunes.
