"In the nation's effort to produce adequate quantities of all agricultural products to meet the war needs of the United Nations, conservation assumes added importance. Advancements in the management of croplands to conserve soil and moisture, which have come about in recent years as a result of experimentation and the experiences of many farmers, show that conservation increases crop yields. Strip cropping is one of the conservation practices. In its various forms and patterns, it is applicable to a large area of the United States. With the farmer rests the major responsibility of obtaining conservation on the land. Each farmer should examine for himself the need of strip cropping his cultivated land and in doing so should find the information contained in this bulletin helpful. The kinds of strip cropping, the factors influencing their use, methods of application, value in conserving soil and moisture, and the adaptation of strip cropping to the northeastern and north-central, the southeastern and western Gulf, the Great Plains, and the far Western States are discussed." -- p. ii

Discusses the role of soil and moisture conservation to keep land productive and increase crop yields. Describes methods and uses of strip cropping.

"With the present urgent necessity for producing increased quantities of food, the seed supply becomes very important. Where the seed itself is used for food the high prices have tended to throw much-needed seed stock into the food market, and in many other cases increased plantings have drawn heavily on stocks already low on account of the cutting off of European sources of supply. As an emergency measure, therefore, it is important that as much seed a possible should be saved on our farms and in our market gardens. It has been done widely in the past and can be done readily again. This bulletin aims to give plain and explicit directions for saving the seed of our garden vegetables." -- p. 2

Report detailing the agricultural suitability of common fruits to different regions of the United States. There are a total of 19 different districts which possess unique characteristics making them more or less suitable to the fruits discussed.

Report discussing the results of experiments undertaken to determine the viability of early oats in different regions of the United States since early oats typically thrive only in the Corn Belt and Great Plains regions.

Report giving recommendations for controlling the boll weevil and discussing the efficacy of various methods for its extermination.

"There is at present a great lack in the agricultural literature of this country of concise descriptions of the methods followed in the growing and handling of the different cultivated grasses, especially for seed production. This bulletin not only treats of the value of meadow fescue in meadows and permanent pastures, but also discusses in detail the production of seed and problems in connection with seed growing." -- p. 2

Describes how to manage winter sheep in the western United States in order to increase production and profits.

Report discussing "the drainage of irrigated lands which have been seriously injured or rendered wholly unproductive by the seepage of irrigation water or by the rise of alkali, or by both combined.... This report not only describes the condition of the land, the details of its draining, and the results which were obtained in particular cases, but gives carefully drawn deductions from the experiments, together with directions for draining lands which have become too wet or too alkaline under the ordinary methods of irrigation for profitable cultivation. Methods of draining are not so well established for irrigated land as for land in humid areas, which fact suggests the propriety of describing methods that have been tested in specific cases." -- p. 2

Report discussing the cultivation of legumes in nitrogen-poor soils that are nonetheless abundant in bacteria which uniquely benefit legumes. Significant attention is given to the topic of introducing these bacteria into soils through artificial methods.

Report discussing practical principles for fruit growing which farmers can apply to their orchards to increase production. Topics discussed include location of orchards, pruning, and spraying.

Discusses methods for maintaining grazing pastures, enriching the soil, and preventing the erosion of soil.

This report discusses best practices for growing cherries in the eastern United States. Pruning the trees, picking and handling the fruit, and the different varieties of cherries are discussed.

This bulletin discusses methods of soil conservation in the northeastern United States that can prevent erosion. Soil conservation practices vary with the type of agriculture being used. In addition to general farming, conservation for dairying, orcharding, market gardening, and single-crop farming are discussed.
