Dry-Farming: Methods and Practices in Wheat Growing in the Columbia and Snake River Basins (open access)

Dry-Farming: Methods and Practices in Wheat Growing in the Columbia and Snake River Basins

"This bulletin deals with the dry-farming methods practiced on grain farms in the Pacific Northwest, where the rainfall is less than 15 to 18 inches annually, but it also contains advice helpful to all farmers of that region who practice summer fallowing. Its purpose is to show the possibility of increasing crop yields in the dry-farming areas by using improved methods and to discuss the practices which have been found most advantageous. ...The highest yields have been secured by plowing in the early spring and giving enough cultivation after plowing to keep the weeds well under control. The purposes of summer fallowing and details of the methods by which it is accomplished are given, and the application of these methods to the cultivation of "blow" soils and "nonblow" soils. Methods are suggested for preventing and stopping the blowing of soils. Attention is given to the saving of man labor by the use of large power units, methods of seeding winter and spring wheat are outlined, and suggestions are made for maintaining the organic matter in the soil." -- p. ii

Forage Crops and Their Culture in Northern Nebraska and the Dakotas (open access)

Forage Crops and Their Culture in Northern Nebraska and the Dakotas

"This bulletin deals with those cultivated forage crops that seem of greatest promise for the dry-farming districts of northern Nebraska and the Dakotas west of the ninety-eighth meridian. Frequent crop failures in the more arid portions of these States result from a low annual precipitation, the irregularity of its amount and distribution during the growing season, and high evaporation. Under conditions of extreme drought, cultivated crops can seldom be economically substituted for native vegetation, and the utilization of such lands for grazing and the cutting of wild hay is most generally advisable. Greater forage production on the better lands may be effected by growing certain cultivated legumes, grasses, and roots." -- p. ii.

Propagation of Game Birds (open access)

Propagation of Game Birds

"Success in the propagation of game birds has been enjoyed in the United States by individuals, by sportsmen's organizations, and by State game departments. There have been failures, of course, but methods that assure success are known. These are treated concisely in this bulletin.... Developed methods need only be carried out with energy and intelligence to produce satisfactory results. Raising game birds may be made profitable, since the demand exceeds the supply of adult birds for breeding, of both young and and adults for restocking, and of eggs for distribution to farmers and shooting clubs." -- p. ii. Among the birds discussed are pheasants, quail, partridges, grouse, turkeys, ducks, geese, and swans.

Rabbit Skins for Fur (open access)

Rabbit Skins for Fur

"With the disappearance of many of the fine-pelted wild fur bearers from certain parts of the United States, the use of rabbit skins is steadily increasing. Aided by modern processes, American fur dressers and dyers have become so expert in changing the colors and appearances of furs that in many instances the pelt of the rabbit, under a variety of trade names, is replacing many that are more attractive and costly.... Methods of handling rabbit skins, from the time the pelt is removed until it reaches the raw-fur market or is tanned for home use, are described in this bulletin." -- p. ii
