THE RICHEST LAND
IN THE WORLD

Nitrogen is the expensive
element in all we'll balanced
fertilizers, and is likewise. the
element in which most farm lands
r deficient. For a million years.
perhaps, a nitrogen fixing process
has gone an in the Florida Ever
glades. AMI today the soil is
probably richer in this valuable
constituent than is that of any
other considerable area on the
face of the globe. From eleven
official samples of Evergalde muck,
taken from widely separated
places a mean analysis shows 2.2l
per cent nitrogen.
Nitrogen is computed TO be
worth fifteen cents per pound.
which would place the commercial
value of the average Everglade
soil at S6.63 per ton. Think of
il for a moment. a million acres
of soil, varying in depth from four
to twenty feet, situated ia a sub
tropical climate and having an
actual commercial value of more
than six dollars per ton. Can you
wonder that a nation is interested
in its Observation-Disclosures.
