WHY FOOD PRICES ARE IN.
! CREASIkG

During the last fifty or seventy-fve
years principally since 1s4O), while
the large cities in this country and
Europe have been growing, the estab-
iished agricultural areas that produced
food were supplemented by the open
ing up Of new lands in the middle
West, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, South
and Central Africa, Australia and 81:
beria.
"FoQd products, chiefly grains and
msats. were produced on virgin. uR.
fertlltzed lands. Emigrant labor was
employed and subsequently there was

in 1917 as in 1900, but this was Sc
cured at the expense of our European
neighbors. Our exports practically
ceased; we had no surplus left to send
abroad.
But the question is, "Toward what
are we headed" Shall we have to
continue to reduce our meat ration un-
til eventually we come to the plan of
cereal-eating China? This is the
natural trend in every highly populat-
ed country. Where people and live
stock must compete for the same
grain, live stock is pretty apt to get
left.
But there is no real need for perma-
nent meat shortage in America. Our
farm and particularly our pastures are
not producing anything like full ca-
pacity. Following the close Of the war
fertilizer will undoubtedly be used
more extensively than ever before to
boost live stock production. Many
live stock farms could actually double
their carrying capacity by making use
Of commercial fertilizer. FERTILIZER
to Keep More Live Stock" bids fair to
be popular slogan on the American
livestock farm.

THE IRISH POTATO THE FOOD
OF THE PEOPLE

The Irish potato Is a staple Of
American diet. Enough potatoes were
consumed in the United States in 1915
to allow one eight-ounce potato day
throughout the whole year for each
man, woman and child.
Truly, the potato Is the food Of the
people. The portion of the American
meal made up by this vegetable, alone,
consumes over 100000 bushels an
nually.
Intensive methods make 1t possible
to grow crops yielding from 250 to 400
bushels per acre, and at the same time
to decrease the cost Of raising each
bushel. The big expense in potato
growing comes in the preparation of
the land, the purchase of the seed and
the attention given the crop through
out the season. But it costs no more
to prepare ground, plant, cultivate and
spray a 3O0-bushel crop than it does a
150-bushel crop. Harvesting will cost
more, but the big overhead expenses
are practically the same. Obviously
the thing to do is to insure large
yields by supplying an abundance of
available plant food that will give the
crop a good start and force it to early
maturity.
Fertilizers should be applied at the
time Of planting, and in order to make
certain that this material may be on
hand when needed it is especially i'm
portant to order early this year.
The man who has his fertilizer
stored in his own barn is the only one
who can be certain Of supply when
needed. A big potato crop will be
needed next year whether peace comes
or not.

THE RECORD
A SOIL FERTILITY PROPHECY

Editor Collingwood OF the Rural
New Yorker says:
Gasoline leaves no organic matter
behind it. We have come to the time,
and we are rapidly going further into
it when there will be practically no
stable manure for people to buy and
put on their ground. And then people
will suddenly wake and realize that all
these years they have been giving to
stable manure value it did not carry,
and that, with fertilizers properly han
died and with cover crops, they will
be able, to get the same results with
less labor, with more profit and with
far greater satisfaction"

OUR DWlNDLlNG MEAT SUPPLY

You have no doubt become accus-
toned to meatless days, but secretly
you are probably waiting and hoping
for the day when you can again eat
good steak without feeling unpa-
triOtic.
But do you realize that the average
meat supply per individual, even be-
fore the war, had fallen off nearly one'
fourth since 1900? To be sure, each
of us had nearly as much meat to eat
