The above results from the farmers
themselves strikingly coincide with the
results obtained at the southern exper-
iment stations, and these figures show
that as the use of fertilizers is in
creased, SO is agricultural production
increased
Many thousands of acres Of land in
the Coastal Plains of the South, when
first cleared. did not produce more
than 10 bushels of corn per acre. To-
day. they are producing from 40 to 80
bushels, by the liberal use of fertilizers
Crop yields must be greatly in
creased to meet the constantly grow
ing demand for foodstuffs and other
agricultural products. The most eco
noplical way to produce crops is by
increasing the acre yield, and there are
but two ways OF doing this-by better
cultural methods and by the more lib
eral use of plant food.

What do the farmers themselves say
