Prof. G. l. Christie, superintendent
of agricultural extension work,
Purdue University, and one of the
leading men in agricultural work
today.
agriculture is the great business
and industry of our country and our
farms must be brought to a high
state of productivity to meet the de-
mands of the rapidly increasing
population. A few years ago the
yields of wheat in Germany and Eng
land were lower than in the United
States, but through fertilization and
better crop system they have
gradually increased their yields until
they now average about sc bushels
per acre as compared with 1i.8
bushels per acre in this country"
said Prof. G. /. Christie, Of Purdue
University, at the National Fertilizer
Association convention at Hot
Springs. Va. "On the farm of Purdue
University, where conditions are
similar to those of large area OF
wheat lands, we get twice as much as
the average through a good rotation
of crops and proper fertilization"
Professor Christie told how 238
farmers in Indiana grew five acres
of corn each last year that produced
an average yield CT 72.4 bushels per
acre-twice as much as the average
Weld in Indiana. With the higher
Yields. the cost per bushel decreased,
making a greater profit per bushel
and much larger profit per acre. He
pointed out. that it is a problem OF
Industrial efficiency as well as social
cooperation TO bring about comfort
able homes, the best Of schools. COM
munity churches. community centers,
good roads and a more permanent
and satisfying social life. Today
there is but little new farming ter
ritory and the necessity is that
greater yields be obtained from lands
now under cultivation
