PROBLEMS THE SAME
IN CORN BELT STATES
Fertility Must Be Increased to
Make Soil More Productive.

New England farmers who have been
told Of the rich soils and virgin lands
of Illinois and the other middle west
ern states will be interested in the
following editorial from the Illinois
Farmer, which demonstrates that con-
ditions there are little different from
those in many parts of New England.
The problems taken up as the most i'm
portant before the farmers of the state
today are the economic marketing of
farm products, the conservation of soil
fertility and the increased productive
ness of the land. The editor says in
part:
'In Illinois and every other state we
have taken more from the land than
we have returned. Even in fertile Illi-
nois we have done this to such an eX-
tent that. Notwithstanding better meth
DDS of cultivation, our production per
acre has been at a standstill or has
actually decreased in some localities.
Conditions as regards price Of land,
farm labor, ETC., have made it abso-
lutely necessary that we adopt more
intensive methods We must set ear
nestly at work to discover how best
not only to increase the fertility now
in our lands. but also to increase the
productiveness of that land effectually
and economically"

PRODUCE AT HOME and
FARM BETTER, ADVISED
Hurd and Watts Give New
EngIand's Farming Needs.

1.-THE indiy idual, state or nation that
is most prosperous is the one which Is
nearest to being self supporting. The
agricultural problem of Massachusetts
is to take care of the Industrial life
that has developed, conserve our soil
resources and make the most OF our
agricultural advantages" says Director
William D. Hurd of the extension serv-
Ice, Massachusetts Agricultural college.
Director Hurd points out the signif-
cant fact that the markets in Massa-
chusetts are. not supplied with the
things they want and need, even
though the same products could be
raised on the land within the state.
That the state only produces one-fifth
of the poultry consumed and less than
two-thirds of the vegetables is shown
by the government records. Much of
the 10000 acres within the state that
are unimproved are adapted to the
growing of vegetables and to the pro-
duction of poultry.
Dean Watts of the Pennsylvania
State college says that the greatest
need Of the eastern farmer, as COM
pared with the farmer of the corn
belt, is better farming. He points out
that there are number of good farms,
but insists that the other farms be
managed better. Experience has
shown that proper tillage, the right
use of fertilizers, barn manure, good
seed, crop rotation and lining when
necessary insure farm prosperity
Whether it be III New England or in
Ohio attention must be given to the
needs of the soil and of the plants in
the soil before large crops of high
quality may be produced most econom-
ically and with greatest profits.

NEW ENGLAND AND SOUTH.
Dangers of Southern Farmers "Falss
Economy" Being Repeated.

Last yea" on account of the very low
price of cotton at planting season,
the Southern farmers reduced their
amounts of fertilizer applied per acre
in order to effect a saving. Instead of
giving the plants plenty of food so that
they could make a quick start and
grow rapidly to- maturity, they reduced
the applications an average of 40 per
cent. When The crop was made, the
price of cotton had returned to 1914
cents per pound, but the yield had de-
creased 80 per cent.
New England farmers who have been
thinking of reducing the amounts of
their applications of fertilizer because
of the increased prices caused by war
time conditions on the raw products
markets should consider the effects of
such an action, as shown by the results
in the south. With present high prices
for farm products and foOdstuffs in
general and with indications that the
same prices will continue, it is gener-
ally conceded that it is false econ
omy" to reduce the productive capacity
of the soils.
Although the prices of fertilizers are
higher, If the increased cost per acre
which means from 30 to 80 cents per
acre on a 200 pound application to
$1.50 to $3.50 an acre on a half ton ap-
plication per acre-is considered in re-
lation to the increased prices of prod
ucts, the economy of maintaining the
same applications is demonstrated. AS
long as one or two bushels pay for the
additional expenditure and the fertil-
ity of the soil is maintained and in
creased, the use of fertilizers continues
to be highly profitable.
