(Continued From Eighth Page)
and means of conserving our land
heritage. I have tried TO show you
the fundamental nature OF the prob
lem: now I want to describe briefly
some of the methods we are using in
overcoming it.
The land problem breaks down into
two distinct, but closely~ related,
phases. We want to aid the farmer in
making such readjustments in his use
of the land that he can preserve and
improve that land as he goes along.
And We want to restore the farmer
to an economic level where he can
purchase the products of industry.
For it is common knowledge that in
dustry can never thrive again without
q farm market. Now how do we go
about to accomplish those two funda-
mental transformations? How do We
make it possible for the farmer to ad-
Just himself to changed conditions?
Perhaps that is a better way of put
ting it, because you won't find the
average farmer merely waiting for
help; what he wants is a chance to
help himself.
In the first place, the land needs
care. We must become land conscious
and We must make the preservation
of our soil a national objective. The
washing away Of our heritage must be
stopped. There is only one way to
stop this waste and that is to plant
more extensively to grass and legumes.
If you put what farmers call a cover
crop on the soil, tangle of stems,
leaves and roots will grow which is
strong enough to hold back the rain
water. Then the rain not only does
not wash the soil away; it stays and
provides the moisture all plant and
animal life needs. 1t is heavy rain
on cultivated land that does the great
est damage.
All soil needs plant food II good
Evening star., 1934-09-27

crops are to grow indefinitely. Com
mercial plant food consists mainly Of
nitrogen. phosphorus and potash.
Lime has long been used to improve
soil conditions and to promote the
more acceptable systems of rotation
In farm and soil management.
New Process Sought.
One of the major objectives OF the
Tennessee Valley authority act is the
read justment and use Of nitrate plant
No. at Muscle Shoals to promote the
more economical production Of plant
food or fertilizer. The act calls for
active research In quest Of new proc
esses, concentrations and combina-
tionS which will reduce the cost of the
essential elements.
The sources of commercial nitro
gen are organic, mineral and in the
atmosphere. Prior to the World War,
organic nitrogen of plant and animal
origin, nitrate of soda from Chile,
and ammonia, which was by-product
of coke ovens and steel production,
were the main sources Of nitrogen for
American fertilizers. The Muscle
Shoals plants, Nos. l and 2, we're
built during the war to make America
independent of other nations for its
supply Of nitrogen. These plants
stimulated private research and con-
struction for the recovery of nitrogen
from the air, with the result that
various forms of synthetic nitrogen are
now on the market at one-third the
pre-War price.
Commercial nitrogen will always be
marketable product as plant food,
but the same air source of this ele-
ment is also directly available to the
farmer through nitrogen fixing plants
in common use in most farm areas in
the country. This process of fixing
nitrogen in the soil by growing GER
tain plants known as legumes was
first discovered less than so years ago.
Clover, peas, beans. alfalfa and
vetcheS are scme Of the legumes which
possess this capacity. They are major
factors in soil erosion control, the
recovery Of nitrogen, and as animal
food. Their more abundant use will
dominate our future agricultural prac-
ticeS so far as nitrogen is concerned
Phosphorus Is Challenge.
The problem of securing sufficient
phosphorus is far more challenging.
Phosphorus is not found in the air
10000 900 tons above every square
mile as in the case of nitrogen-and
most soils throughout the world are
woefully deficient in this vital ele-
ment. AS Nation, We don't yet re-
alize the tremendous tax on phos-
Evening star., 1934-09-27

every year. Every kernel Of grain and
every speck Of bone which goes to
market along with the meat contains
phosphorus. Only a pitifully small
percentage Of those bones is ever
ground up and returned to the soil
as fertilizer. Nor is all the phosphor-
us retained in the bone structure Of
living creatures. Vast quantities are
wasted, poured into the rivers and
carried to the seas beyond our reach
Our sanitary systems are wonderful
from the point Of view Of health, but
they are terribly destructive to our
land. Like O mighty river laden with
silt, our major foodstuffs ceaselessly
bear away the phosphorus from the
soil. This heavy draft upon our natu-
raj supply must be restored If our
plant and animal life is to be main
tanned.
Where Is replenishment to come
from?
One source Is the bones of animals
themselves and another is found in
the Stag left over after steel Is made.
But the chief source is the vast accu-
mulated remains of prehistoric ami
mails whose bones have long since
gone back into the earth, but whose
burden Of phosphorus has been
processed by nature into phosphate
beds such as those we find in Florida
and in Tennessee and in few States
of the West. The phosphate from
these beds is in demand all over this
country and throughout the world.
The restricted areas in which phos-
phoruS is found and the heavy draft
upon the natural supply in the soil
which I just mentioned make this
element the limiting factor in plant
food all over the world and render
1t, at the same time, the most i'm
portant of all elements in soil con-
servation and rehabilitation.
Nation Must Prepare.
This fact Is constantly in the minds
of the T. v. A. directors, both in their
consideration Of the place Of agricul-
ture in the national scheme and in
the readjuStment of the Muscle Shoals
nitrate plant for plant food produc-
ton. The nitrate plants place as a
source of nitrogen in time Of war is
one thing; its use in soil recovery and
rehabilitation in time Of peace is quite
another. It's national defense aspects
will be maintained, but its contribu-
ton to agriculture must be in re-
searches to cheaper the processing Of
available phosphorus ana the COM
bining of this element with the other
plant foods. AS a nation, we must be
Evening star., 1934-09-27

prepared to adjust our agriculture to
no matter what economic complexities
may arise.
To this end the T. v. A. Is installing
at Muscle Shoals electric and blast
furnaces of new design. A pilot manu-
featuring plant Is under construction
there which will be adequate for any
demonstration Of concentrations and
combinations Of fertilizers which in
vestigation may develop. The major
effort at present is toward o better
method OF obtaining phosphorus. but
extensive studies and researches are
also being conducted with nitrogen
and potash and lime.
Now here is where the interrelation
of all these soil activities proceeds one
step further. We have seen how the
control of soil erosion calls for legumes
and grasses. We have seen how
legunles produce the nitrogen we need
for plant growth. We have seen how
a cheaper phosphate is needed to
make the legumes grow to fix the
nitrogen. But we must have electric
power to make our phosphate and to
promote the economic rehabilitation
of the farm, and electric power means
dams, and dams mean reservoirs. and
reservoirs, to remain effective, must
be protected from the deposit of silt
due to soil erosion. We check soil
erosion through phosphate and our
circle Is complete.
Civilization Breaks Cycle.
But the control of erosion does
other things besides keeping our re-
servoirs deep and our power supply
up to standard. It retains and in
creases the value of our land. It
makes it possible for us to raise live
stock on the pasturage which comes
into being every time We set about
checking erosion. 1t makes it pos
sible to restore to its original perfec-
ton Natures marvellous cycle. Nature
arranged, you know, for soil, air, and
water to feed plants; and for plants
to feed animals; and for animals, in
turn, to feed the soil again. Air and
water we have in abundance. But
soil, as I have tried to show, requires
care and replenishing or it will lose
its productivity. Nature meant animals
to live and die on the land that the
phosphorus and the nitrogen they
had extracted from the plants they
ate might return directly to the soil.
Civilization takes the animals of the
land and does not return the precious
chemical elements to the soil.
When we check erosion we are in
Evening star., 1934-09-27

are working as fast as we possibly can
without running the risk Of serious
mistakes.
But we have big Job on our hands
and it is not one which can be COM
pleted in O year and q half or even
in two years and half. It takes pa
tience and sustained drive. You must
supply the patience and the UNDER
standing and we must supply the drive
if we, all Of us, are to achieve the goal.
For achieve 1t we must-or the
wastes Of resources and Of energy we
have countenanced in the past will
prove our undoing.
Evening star., 1934-09-27

phorus which civilization has imposed
upon the land.
AS crops are grown and grains are
marketed or fed to animals which in
turn are shipped to market, the natu-
raj heritage of phosphorus leaves the
land forever. 1t goes into the bones
of man and beast and never returns
to the land from whence it came.
Visualize for a moment the millions
and millions of tons Of grains and
meats which are consumed in our

Now let us look back for a moment
over the ground we've just covered.
It is such an immense field, 80 stag
gering to the imagination that 1t is
very easy to lose the thread.
We saw first the need Of national
foresight and with that the need of
an experiment in regional planning
which should be perfect miniature
Of the whole. We saw why the Presi-
dent and the Congress selected the
Tennessee Valley as the scene of this
experiment, this courageous attempt to
correct those gigantic Embellishments
which were already threatening to de-
stroy our civilization.
Then we saw that the work of the
T. v. A. Is by no means confined to
the production of low-cost hydroelec-
trio power, or to the development of
the Tennessee Valley at the expense
Of the rest of the country-what kind
Of planning would that be?-but that

sought to show you how diversified

and how this leads to higher stand

by buying from the farmer more of
