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</p>Persian Clover2012-08-14T16:17:07-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc97300/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc97300/"><img alt="Persian Clover" title="Persian Clover" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc97300/small/"/></a></p><p>This bulletin discusses the cultivation of Persian clover, a forage crop for both feed and green manure in the southern United States.

It has many generations a year, and under favorable conditions large and destructive populations of the pest may develop in a relatively short time. Natural enemies cannot be depended on for effective control, and therefore insecticides must be applied when threatening infestations of the aphid develop. Several insecticides and methods for their use are discussed in this bulletin. The choice of these will depend on local conditions, including the type of machinery and insecticide available, but any of them will be effective if applied as directed." -- p. i</p>Good pastures.2010-09-15T19:49:09-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28658/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28658/"><img alt="Good pastures." title="Good pastures." src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28658/small/"/></a></p><p>A guide to improving pastures for the purpose of increasing production during wartime.</p>Sewing machines: cleaning and adjusting.2010-08-31T22:25:24-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28306/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28306/"><img alt="Sewing machines: cleaning and adjusting." title="Sewing machines: cleaning and adjusting." src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28306/small/"/></a></p><p>A guide to cleaning and oiling an electric or treadle sewing machine.
