A SOIL FERTILITY PROPHECY
Editor Colllngwood Of the Rural

Editor Collingwood Of the Rural
New Yorker says:
Gasoline leaves no orgaric 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"

(Fron Progressive Farmer, Dec. 3D.
For the average Southern farmer,
we cannot think OF better resolution
for the New Year than one calling
for better than average yields. Aver
age yields, whatever the crop, mean,
over a period of years, little more
than living wage. But as the indi-
yidual farmer rises above the average,
his net profits, nine times in ten, CORE
spondingly rise. The man who raises
cotton must see that our average OF
about one-third OF a bale per acre can
only mean poverty to the grower; the
man who grows corn and oats at our
average rate of Is to 20 bushels per
acre must see that there can be no
profit in such yields; our peanut and
tobacco farmers, our dairy and general
livestock farmers must see that so
ong as they are content with a mere
ly average yield per acre or per ami
NAL, just so long will they ind the

FERTILE SOIL FOR ALFALFA
Unless ManurInp or FertlIIzlns 10 PFuo-
tleed on Thin Land Very Low
Yields Will Result.

Alfalfa requires a rich soil. Unless
manuring or fertillzing Is practiced, at
tempts to grow II on thin land will re-
suit In failure or In very low yielde.
Isolated alfalfa plants are often seen
growing on thin land, even In sod, and
the inference is drawn that it 10 adapt
ed to such soil. When one attempts
to seed 1t thIckly on this same laud,
however, little return is secured.
Various experiments pertaining to
alfalfa fertilization have been made by
the University Of Missouri college of
agriculture. The results show that
lime, barnyard manure and pbos-
pilates are the treatments which usu-
ally bring returns. Lime is not called
q fertilizer I'd the true sense Of the
word. l. is q soil sweetener and al
falfA fails on soils which are very sour.
Barnyard manure and phosphates are
true fertilizing materials, however, and
It is to these that one must look for
making thin lands suitable for alfalfa,
and the crop is sufficiently valuable to
warrant heavy applications of these. AS
three or four acres is as large al area
as one should begin with on land not
well suited to the crop, barnyard ma.
lure in quantities up to ten or twelve
tons per acre can usually be supplied.
II three or four hundred pounds of
acid phosphate is applied with this,
success Is probable, provided, OF
course, that all the other essentials to
successful alfalfa culture are met. On
land to which alf'1fa is not naturally
adapted, much care must be exercised
In meeting all the requirements Of the
plsnt, such as drainage, a sweet soil,
thorough soil preparation, incubation
end the use Of good seed. While all
of these are Important, the fertility Of
the soil Is the prime essential to large
yields and even to successful and
permanent stand. If the soil is not fer
tile 1t must be made fertile or large re-
turns will not be had.

Agriculture is the bed rock anc
Foundation upon which every other In
, dustry must stand or fall. All the
people prosper or fail TO prosper &C
cording to the abundance of the har
vest of the soil, and upon agriculture
depends the prosperity and happiness
of the world
Better methods of agriculture in
clude the use OF modern implements
modern cultivation and soil improve
ment. This brings us directly to the
IMPORTANCE of the fertilizer industry
as a means of improving our soils. Fer
tilizers are absolutely essential in or
der to increase the fertility of the soil
They have a direct effect upon agri'
cultural production and through the
products of agriculture direct effect
upon all other industries.
Anything which contributes to an
increase in our agricultural produc
tions. contributes to the welfare, com
fort and prosperity of our people as
a whole; and this brings us directly
to the consideration of tie Importance
of the fertilizer industry in relation to
other lines of business.
Fertilizers Necessary in South
The very nature Of our soil, climate
and rainfall makes it impossible to
farm successfully without regularly
feeding our crops from artificial
sources with at least two Of the sew
eral principal elements entering into
the composition and development OF
plant life. Without fertilizers much OF
the best producing cotton lands in the
South would become unproductlve and
farming would be Improbable. In
many states, except in few locali-
ties, soil is no more capable of pro-
ducing without being fortified than
stock is capable of performing work
without being fed. Our lands must be
fed just as we feed the stock that
work them or they will become too
poor to even pay the cost and expense
of cultivation.
Transformed Sections
Large sections of land in various
parts of the South Atlantic States, for
ty or fifty years ago, required four
or five acres to produce one bale OF
cotton, which now, by intelligent farm
ing, made possible by the use of fer
tilizers, yield one bale to each acre,
or the equivalent, of other crops. Pow
erty stricken sections of one or TWO
generations ago have been transform
ed into populous and prosperous COM
munities. Our ability to rebuild and
make our lands more fertile has en-
abled people to live and settle in S1ore
desirable communities, and to enjoy
advantages OF better markets, schools,
churches and social conditions. Bet
ter rural conditions have made the
.'back to the farm movement not only
a possibility, but reality.
Prosperity Due to Fertilizers
Whatever may be the direct benefit,
it is obvious from a study of the sit
uation that the present prosperity and
greater population in South Carolina
lis due more largely to the use OF
commercial fertilizers than to any 9th
er cause, because in South Carolina
fertilizers are absolutely necessary to
profitable agriculture, upon which most
of our business and OTHER industries
depend Had it not been for the use
lof commercial fertilizers South Caro-
lima could not be considered an agri-
cultural state.
Taking into consideration the cost
of fertilizers, statistics will bear out
