FERTILIZERS FROM WASTE.
Garbage Is Valuable When Returned

Garbage is Valuable When Returned
to the Soil.
tPreparcd by United States department Of
agriculture
A survey of the nations resources in
fertilizer materials has drawn attcn.
ton to the large supply of these to be
found in the accumulation of garbage
In cities. This waste material con.
tains nitrogen. phosphoric acid and
potash, which are recognized as essen.
tial to the production Of large crops.
Valuable as these elements are to the
farms Of the country, the garbage in
which they are found Is source Of
trouble and expense to the cities. 1t
seems. therefore, that this garbage can
be disposed Of most advantageously by
! returning 1t to the soil in the form Of
fertilizer.
In cities Of 100000 people or more the
reduction Of garbage by methods
which furnish residue fit for fertilizer

Two general types Of organizations
are now being utilized In the agricul
tural extension work County orGani.
cations, often called farm bureaus, are
being formed to take the initiative in
securing local support for the county
agents. Many Of these organizations
include business and professional men
rs well as farmers, 1t is clearly ap-
parent, however, that the farming pcO
PIE themselves should control and In
the end determine the character and
work of these organizations.
Another type Of local organization Is
the small community club Whore "a
considerable number Of these clubs eX.
ist In county they arc often federated
to form county organization Of some
( kind. In the southern states about 500
communities were organized during the

munty organizations arc engaged in
the promotion OF some special work,
such rs the cooperative breeding of
live stock, purchasing and selling
things required or produced on the
farm and studying and demonstrating
better farm practices In the northern
and western states the county agents
were Instrumental In forming S75 local
organizations during the same year
These included farmers clubs for gen.
cral purposes and associations for the
Improvement of crop production. the
breeding OF live stock. COW testing. pur.

The value OF organization in the dc.
