SHIPPING OUT FERTILITY.
[Grinnell Register. ]


We don't know a cussed thing about
farming, but We are interested because
we have our savings invested in a
Poweshiek county farm. Once in R
while We read something like this: in
Iowa our farms are generally poorer
today than they were Ave years ago.
and much poorer than they were ten
years ago. When we grow a bumper
crop we remove nearly $500. 600, 00e
worth OF fertility from the soil. When
we ship a million bushels Of corn out
of Iowa, We ship out more than $780,
600 worth OF soil value that is likely
gone forever. 1t Is probable that each
year we actually send sS0,000.000 OF
fertility out Of the state, never TO come
back. To conserve Iowa's sol; resources
Is big problem, and a mighty vital
one" And II Just naturally throws q
scare into us and we want to get right
at conserving the soil" But all we
know about 1t wouldn't make much OF
book. and when we talk to a real
farmer. all he says is manure"
