A farmer describes a wood and steel field stack cutter built from a log frame with five 30 inch knives, iron pins, and hickory supports. The design uses pulled wagon gear, an angled knife setup, and self sharpening blades for cutting stalks on the ground.
Minnesota farmers face imperfect corn profits as costs run 10 to 15 dollars per acre. Optimal yields hinge on soil fertility tillage seed quality and weather, with seed quality being most crucial. Selecting best ears at husking time and storing seed properly can boost yields to 50 to 75 bushels per acre with standard methods.
Illustration from the Arizona station shows the depth roots reach in search of water. The design traces a peach tree’s roots to great depths and notes that the root system may be much larger than the tree it supports.
Early planted wheat that is growing well may be pastured when the ground is dry or frozen without materially affecting next season yield. Keep livestock off when the ground is muddy or “shuddy” to protect future crops.
The cellar should be kept as cold as possible above freezing. Adjust cellar windows to allow night cold air and seal for day. Maintain around 40 degrees for many apple varieties. Head barrels and keep dry to prevent moisture loss and spoilage.
The article urges liberal fertilization of orchards to maintain soil fertility. It notes apples remove much more potash than wheat and recommends large quantities of both vegetable and mineral matter. Unleached wood ashes are praised and 200 to 300 pounds of muriate potash per acre should be broadcast among the trees.
Instructions detail using a straight 25 to 30 foot tree as a lever, a strong cattle yoke, and a large root wrap with a three foot offset from the stump. Attach a big chain and drive the team in a circle to twist the stump free. Smaller stumps come out whole while larger ones may split for burning after drying.
