FARM EXPENSES
TAKE Bio JUMP
Huge Increase in Use Of Com
merciaI Fertilizers in Last
Twenty Years Revealed.
MAKE SURVEY OF AGRICULTURE
Virgin Soil of Nation Has at Length
Worn Out and Fertility Must Be
Added-Eired Men Get
2 stter Pay.

Washington.-I'h enigma of why
American farming cannot survive I'M
der present conditions, although the
prices of foodstuffs are higher than
they were in any prewwr year, Is not
the only topic dealt with In the re-
port of the Joint commission which
investigated the agricultural crisis.
The report Itself constitutes a broad
survey of farming as it is at present
conducted and as such it makes clear
what a change has come over the
business Of food production during the
last 20 years.
One prime characteristic of farming
today is its increased and increasing
use of fertilizer. The virgin soil of
the nation that once produced a heavy
series Of crops year after year and
seemed inexhaustible in its richness
has at length worn out. Not even
manures and the rotation of crops
can sustain its productivity. Fertility
has to be added and it must be added
in the form of commercial fertilizers.
At the beginning of the present cen
fury the farmers of America, and
principally those of the older states
east of the Mississippi, were buying
commercial fertilizers at the rate of
about $54O00,000 in value each year.
In 1919 they spent nearly s330.000000.
Twenty years ago not $4000,000 a
year was spent for fertilizers by farm
ers west of the Mississippi river; in
1919 the farmers Of that region spent
approximately $27OO000O The Pa
cifc states are using nine times as
much fertilizer now as they did then
These figures are evidence OF the ex-
haustion of the soil.

CERTIFIED SEED

Plant only seed wheat that has
been certified, is the advice given to
Maryland farmers by the University
of Maryland Experiment Station. "It
will increase the worth of the crop
from 2 to 8 cents hushel", says ].
E. Metzger, head of the Agronomy
Department, under whose direction
much of the certified wheat in the
state has had it's origin.
According to the results of sur
veys made by the Experiment Sta
ton, rs per cent of Maryland wheat
goes into q grade lower than it
should because Of weed seeds.
"Pure seed is the first step in pro-
ducing a high quality product, says
Metzger, and we hope at no distant
time to have every wheat planter in
the State use only certified seed. At
present between $4,000 and 900, 900
bushels Of seed wheat are used ann
ually in Maryland. This years certi-
fled and listed supply has reached
25,QQ0 bushels. It viii not take many
years to supply all that is needed
for paintings if the farmers of the
State will avail themselves of that
which is offered from season to sea-
sen.
IF you buy wheat for seed, get it
from source where the quality
and purity have been determined by
persons."
Certified seed Is that which has
been produced on fields that were in
spected before the wheat was har-
vested and was found to he pure and
f!ee of garlic, corn-coclsleA chess or
cheat and rye.
