May and June are redletter months
for thousands of farm boys and girls
because they have received diplomas
emitting them to enter high school.
These have usually been presented by
county or town superintendants, in the
presence of parents and schOolmates,
at appropriate exercises held in honor
of the occasion. The slogan has pro-
bably been: "On TO high school"
Whether many of these boys and
girls do go ON to high school next Sep
tember depends very largely upon the
attitude of their parents towards edu-
cation and their ability to solve diff
culties. If there is no high school
within walking distance Of home and
no train or bus service. some way will
need to be devised of overcoming the
obstacle of distance between home and
school IL there is a high school with
In reasonable driving distance the
solution is easy--the family can fur
nish its own transportation. II there
is no high school within driving dis
tance the child must either be boarded
In town or the family must move TO
town. II the family income is small
there must be considerable sacrifice
ON the part Of both parents and child
ren. But II there is will there is
usually n way. Many a country boy
and girl has exchanged domestic ser
vice for board and room while attend
ing high school. Chambers Of com
merce and other civic and religious
organizations are glad TO help worthy
boys and girls find a job.
Parents who fail TO provide an op-
for their children to secure
a high school education handicap them
In the race of life. Within the last
two years the high school attendance
i'm the United States has been Increase
ing at the rate of 100000 year.
Between 1910 and 1920 its increase
was 100000 year. Boys and girls
of the present day will come in CON
tact with more educated people than
did their parents They need, at least,
a high school education in order to
compete with the generation in which
they are to live.

consuming and wasting its soil fertil-

We have come 10 the point where
our land must be fed If it would feed
MS. The question asks itself; Can
soil he kept indefinitely fertile? The
answer is found in land that has been
cropped for 1000 years and more, and
is yet very fertile. But such land
is not to be found except in stable
civilizations.
Within the memory of 'men now
living, commercial fertilizers in Ameri-
ca were hardly known. America now
consumes over 6,OOOOOO tons Of these
every year OF this, 50 per cent is
from raw materials found in our own
country, hut the 20 per cent we buy
from abroad costs us more than $780,
100000 every year.
This money goes mostly to Germany
for potash and to Chile for nitrates.
Potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus
are the three elements most needed
for soil sustenance, and these are
what we seek in commercial fertili-
zers. Raw phosphorus we have in
abundance. Indeed, the world comes
to us for it, because our deposits now
open, are very rich and easily worked.
