COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS NOT
NEEDED ON COLORADO SOIL
Principal Thing Needed Is Organic
Matter Supplied by Leguminous
Crops

So many inquiries have come in to
the Agricultural College with respect
to the use Of commercial fertilizers
on Colorado soils, that Professor Al
win Kezer, agronomist Of the expert
ment station. was asked if he could
briefly tell Of what use commercial
fertilizers arc to Colorado farmers.
Professor Kezer replied:
"Our Colorado soils are rich in the
mineral elements of fertility. The min
eral fertilizers usually carry either
phosphorus, potassium or nitrogen.
Colorado soils are so rich in potassium
that there is no present likelihood Of
potassium fertilizers ever being nee
essary. The supply of phosphorus in
our Colorado soils is so good that
phosphorus fertilization will not need
to take place, with proper agricultural
methods. for at least several genera
tions. The supply of nitrogen can be
kept up adequately by the growth OF
leguminous crops such as alfalfa,
field peas, or sweet clover.
"In the experiments which have
been performed, the mineral fertili-
zers have given no results. but the
vegetable fertilizers. or those which
furnish organic matter, have always
given results.

viii Try to Standardize Price on Thir.
teen-to-One Basis For Hogs Far
rowed Next Spring

Every swine breeder who has been
scratching his head about the rising
cost Of maintaining his herd should
feel considerable assurance in the
fact that the United States Food Ad-
ministration has issued the following
statement:
"The main purposes Of the Food Ad-
ministration as to hogs are four:
To see that the producer at all times
can count on a fair price for his hogs
so that it will be profitable to him;
to see that the farmer increases the
number Of hogs bred to limit the pro-
fit Of the middlemaE and to eliminate
speculation.
The prices so far as we can affect
them will not go below a minimum
of about $3.50 per hundred weight for
the average of the packer drovcs of
the Chicago market until further no
tice.

Pinchot Changes Front

In u personally signed letter to his
followers in the fields of conservation
Clifford Pinchot makes plea for leg
islation to allow water-power to be de-
vcloped in the western states.
Conservation policies gone to seed
have tied up our national resources Of
power in the form of coal, oil and
water-power un.il the nation faces a
fuel famine and is putting out electric
lights.
Now Mr.. Pinchot realizes the ter
rible mistake that has been made and
that our gigantic struggle for exist
encc requires us to use all these great
resources and open every possible cleo
trio power plant.
There are untold millions Of unde-
veloped water horsepower, enough to
run every train, trolley, factory, mill,
mine, and electric power plant now
run by steam made with oil or coal,
going TO waste.
Pinchot now charges that the pow
err companies and those who have de
veloped the hydro-electric water pow
or plants have prevented this waste
from being utilized by demanding un-
reasonable Legislation.
He comes forward with radical con-
cessions and demands watcrpower leg
islation when Congress meets in De-
cember biased on principles fair to
both sides" which he then proceeds TO
state.
First he says the thing to do above
all else is to secure development Of
waterpowers on terms fair to the pub
lie. and he practically gives up his
dream of universal public ownership
and public development
He now says the nation must have
prompt development ard that water
power sites should be leased for per
iods long enough to permit sound, at
tractive and profitable investment,
but never longer than fifty years.
What Mr.. Pinchot adds about cor
porations sharing their profits with
the government and the people, about
state and federal regulation, and
about the people having a right to
complete information, is camoufage.
The Pinchot house Of cards has
tumbled. The conservationists have
seen the error Of their campaign in
holding up coal, oil and power de
velopment and wat to get on the band
wagon to save their faces.
