INCREASING WHEAT YIELDS
what the Ohio Experiment Station
Has Learned.

Wheat yields are distressingIy low
In the United States-lOwer than I'm
any Of the other big wheat-producing
countries except Russia and India
This fact did not attract much atten.
ton until we began TO need wheat
very badly and until the price of
wheat went TO 500 or more Der
bushel. Farmers then began TO ask,
How can we grow more per acref"
The answer lies In reversing the
condition which brought about the low
yields. Fertility must be restored.
The Ohio experiment station has
worked on this problem Of increasing
wheat yields for many years. and they
have found that by the use Of com.
mercial fertilizer they can bring the
yield up to respectable proportions
where IL will pay a profit. The aver
age yield Of. unfertiilzed plots on land
which Is typical Of much a. this coun-
try was 10.7 bushels per acre. A profit
is hardly possible with a yield like
that. even when the price Of wheat In
where u Is today. when fertilizer was
used to return the soil 10 something
like it's native fertility. the average OF
all yields was easily brought up TO "a
bushels per acre. In many cases the
yield was more than that. but the aver
age Of all was - bushels.
When we remember that no more
time II consumed In blowing and lit
ting the land and but little more for
harvesting the 24-bushel yield as com
pared with the 1O-bushei yield. we can
zee how the profit mounts up az soon
as we begin 90 grow better wheat.
