Ways of Making Southern Mountain Farms More Productive (open access)

Ways of Making Southern Mountain Farms More Productive

"The southern mountain farm often produces no more than a scant living for the family. Corn is the chief crop grown. Often part of the farm lies idle, being 'rested' while corn is grown on another part year after year until the land is worn out. By growing three or more crops in rotation, including clover, the farmer will be able to produce larger crops, make more money, and keep all crop land under cultivation all the time. Cattle, hogs, and sheep will not only add to the cash income, but will help to increase the fertility of the soil, and render larger crops possible. This bulletin describes crop rotations for small mountain farms in the southern Alleghenies, and gives complete directions for starting a crop rotation that will make poor mountain land more productive." -- p. 2

Forest Nurseries for Schools

"The plan outlined in this bulletin is intended to furnish suggestions and directions by which a school may establish and care for a small nursery. It is realized that school will seldom have the best kind of soil available, or be supplied with all the tools desirable to do this work with the best results. Consequently, the attempt is here made to give directions which will be applicable to schools with very limited resources." -- p. 6. Topics discussed include collection and storage of tree seeds, soil preparation, planting techniques, and transplantation of seedlings.

Sweet Clover (open access)

Sweet Clover

"The widespread discussion as to the merits and demerits of this plant has resulted in many conflicting statements regarding its value. Although frequently regarded as a troublesome weed, sweet clover seldom encroaches upon cultivated land, while its value as a forage crop, as a soil renovator, and as a forerunner of alfalfa, in addition to its widespread utilization as a honey plant, makes it desirable to point out under what conditions its use is to be recommended and where its cultivation should be avoided, as well as to give instruction regarding the best methods of eradicating it when it is desired to utilize the ground in some other way." -- p. 3
