Tobacco Hornworm Insecticide: Recommendations for Use of Powdered Arsenate of Lead in Dark-Tobacco District
"From the time when tobacco was first cultivated in the dark-tobacco regions of Tennessee and Kentucky it has been necessary to combat the hornworms in order to produce profitable crops. For many years the practice of removing them from the plants by hand was followed. Later Paris green came into general use. This bulletin deals with the use of powdered arsenate of lead, which has been found to be preferable to Paris green in many respects. Full directions for its use under varying conditions are given." -- p. 2

The Use of Windmills in Irrigation in the Semiarid West
"Irrigation has reclaimed many and will reclaim more of the millions of acres of rich, fertile lands of the semiarid region that now are unproductive. Most of this land, however, cannot be irrigated because of the small supply of water, and farming, if done at all, must be without irrigation. True, the farming has been made less hazardous by the growing of drought-resistant crops and the application of improved methods, but success always is threatened by more or less frequent periods of drought. Many failures could have been averted if the farmers from the East who had settled in these regions had provided against such droughts by irrigating small parts of their holdings. This bulletin is intended to aid the farmers by setting out in a simple and comprehensive way the possibilities of the windmill in irrigating small areas in connection with larger tracts farmed without irrigation." -- p. 2
