Planning a Subsistence Homestead (open access)

Planning a Subsistence Homestead

"Growing food for family-living purposes in connection with enough outside work to provide the family with the cash for necessary farm and family expenses is a combination that many families now want to develop.... This kind of farming has often been called subsistence farming and a farm of this kind a subsistence homestead. This part-time farming has certain problems of its own that are somewhat different from the usual farming problems. The family has to think of the quantity and variety of products it needs rather than of what the markets demand. Those who are inexperienced often overestimate the savings made possible by this way of living, and they often underestimate the costs in the way of the labor and cash necessary in such part-time farming.... This bulletin deals chiefly with the economic problems that will be met by those people who are planning to combine part-time farming and wage earning." -- p. 1-2

Cover Crops for Soil Conservation (open access)

Cover Crops for Soil Conservation

"Cover crops are crops sown or planted in thick stands for the purpose of protecting and enriching the soil.... That the use of cover crops is a most efficient means for preventing soil erosion and increasing soil fertility is well known; yet this practice is not nearly so widely and extensively followed as it should be. The kinds of cover crops that should be used and the method of utilizing them to the best advantage varies in different regions, according to climatic conditions but almost everywhere cover cropping in some form can be profitably followed." -- p. 1. The bulletin considers cover crops as either legumes or non-legumes.
