farm Factors
FOR YEAR 1920
DEMAND FOR FARM PROD.
UCTS WILL BE ACTIVE
Cost OF Making Crops Will Be
High, Requiring Most
Efficient Methods
}. G. Pridmore, Shreveport, La.

! Another crop season is almost upon
us. Before much progress is made
the farmer could, with advantage, take
stock, so to speak, of the agricultural
outlook and base hts plans for the
year accordingly.
What Of the outlook?
To begin with. the agencies Of pro
duction impaired by the war are not
yet on a normal basis. This being
true, the demand for food and feed
products as we'll as the raw materials
OF manufacture are still unsatisfied.
1t is we'll to mention here that the
wheat and rye acreage of this country
was decreased about twenty-five per
cent last fall and this will, of neces-
sity, have bearing on the foodstuff
situation this and next year
Prices Of farm products have reach
ed high levels, and the indications are
now that they will not be much lower
any time soon. High prices, however
do not necessarily stimulate produc
ton.
Farm labor, a very important factor,
is not only scarce, but higher in price
than ever before. Doubtless, the cost
Of other necessities in farming will be
as high, if not higher, than In 1919.
To make farming profitable this
year. in the light of conditions
existing, the farmer must either in
crease the efficiency Of his meth
DDS Of production, or else he must get
less net profits from his operations
OF the two methods suggested, un-
doubtedly that of speeding up the
agencies Of production is to be looked
to for relief.
There is no doubt that the method
used on the average farms could be
improved to.such an extent that great
er yields per acre could be made
In fact, the average acre Yields OF
crops grown must be increased; for
in the past the average acre yields
have been so low that they have paid
but little If any more than the cost
II production.
As a means of increasing the acre
production of field crops, the land on |
which these are grown must be made
more fertile. To this end, the farmer
must look to a more liberal and a
use of commercial fertil.
izers. These contain the elements of
plant food, nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash, necessary to all plant life
These elements have been reduced in
most soils to such an extent by con-
slant cropping that profitable farm
ing is no longer possible unless they
are returned to the land.
To illustrate the. effect Of the use |
of fertilizers on crop production, and
70 show how crop yields decrease
where they are not used, the compar.
ativs yields for the last fifty years
II two western states and three south
eastern states are here shown in a
liagram reproduced from a publica-
ion Of the United States Department
# Agriculture. Each black line rep
'esents ten year period. AS is shown
n the diagram. in Texas and Arkan-
as where but little fertilizers have
'een used, the yields have gone down
rom approximately 225 pounds of lint
yer acre to a little more than $50
'odnds. On the other hand, in the
states. where fertilizers
ave been used prope y, the yields
AVE increased very markedly, going
rom $50 pounds to 225 pounds of lint
'er acre.

The conclusion Of the whole matter
is that the soil productiveness is the
basic part Of profitable farming, and
a. means Of making the soils more
productive and thereby to get larger
acre yields and bigger net profits, the
faInAv must use fertilizers.

PRIEST RISKS LIFE
IN FIRE TO SAVE
SACRAMENTALS
St. Bndgets Catholic Church
Completely Destroyd by
Early Morning Blaze.

! St. Bridgets Catholic church,
Twenty-sixth and F streets, South
Side, was practically destroyed by
fire early yesterday. Crossed
electric light wires in the sacristy
of the church are said to have caused
the fire. Rev A. Cryne, assistant
pastor of the church, discovered the
flames. Before the fire department
reached the burning ,structure the
flames had gained headway to the
front of the building. Nothing re-
mains but the four walls.
At the risk of his life, Father
Cryne rushed into the burning edi-
fee and saved the sacramentals. The
vestments of the priests were also
saved.
The extent of the damage is Sl0,-
0Y0, Father Cryne said. The loss is
partly covered by insurance.
The church was landmark of the
South Side, having been erected rs
years ago. Rev. Timothy O'Sulli-
van. pastor, announced that services
for the congregation will be held
temporarily in the school hail.
