same lure to our farmers as the
California hills offered to the gold
hunters, they would find new So
urce of wealth right on their
farms. If our farmers could be in
spired with the determination and
eternal hope that ischaractedis-
tic of the gold hunter, it wouldn't
be long until the hundreds of acres
that are planted to winter crops
would mount up into the thous-
ands for there are riches to be
had his way. There is goold at the
roots of every successful crop of
vetch; there is gold at the roots
of every crop of winter clover. In
planting and turning under these
4egumes the farmer does not have
20 worry as to whether or not
ne is going to strike pay dirt. The
land upon which they grow is al
ways pay dirt.
Legumes are the tools which
farmers can use to draw on the
inexhaustible supply of nitrogen
in the air and convert it into
gold. On the roots of all legumes
like vetch, Aust an peas, and the
clovers are a lot of tiny nodules, or
knots. In the nodules live millions
of bacteria, or nitrogen workers
which take nitrogen from the air
and give it to the plant. And when
these nitrogen rich legumes are
turned under they add precious nj
trogen to the soil, which brings in
creases in crop yields.
During the past four years re-
sord on over 1000 Mississippi
farms showed that a good crop
of winter legumes fertilized with
Superphosphate and turned under
in the spring increased the average
yield of lint cotton ZIG pounds per
acre and the average yield of corn
16 bushels per acre. Valuing the
lint cotton at 20 cents a pound,
this was an increase of $43.20
per acre.

An lnexhauStibIe
Gold Mine

Our farmers need vast guam
titles of nitrogen to grow big
crops. Industry needs huge quaint
ties of nitrogen to produce ex-
plosives. Because the army and
navy need so much nitrogen for
explosives, they are taking part
of the supply that formerly was
used by farmers for growing crops.
But farmers need not be entire
ly dependent on the supply of nj
trogen manufactured in this coun-
try or imported from Chile. Three
fourths Of the atmosphere is COM
posed of pure nitrogen. There is
enough nitrogen in the air over
each acre to produce 100 bushels
of corn per acre for thousands of
years. This supply of nitrogen is
inexhaustible. Farmers can utili-
re this nitrogen for growing bigger
yields of crops which they can
turn into gold if they want to.
They can draw on this inexhaus-
tible gold mine if they want to.
An old man of the California
mountains, standing in the midst
of this romantic region whose gold
set in motion the mightiest migra-
ton the world has ever seen and.
which, like a giant magnet drew
the adventurous from the four
corners of the world, remarked
that for every dollars worth of
gold remover from those hills a
dollar was spent. Some, he said,
got rich. Most didn't. In fact, most
spent what they already had seek
ing the gold they were never to
find. And yet, day after day, week
after week, and all through the
years the lure of gold and easy
riches drove them empty handed
back to their pans, their gravel
and to the holes in thee hills.
