Formers Increase Use
Of Nitrogen Products

IN the last Is years, delta and
brown loam farmers have increased
tne annual use of nitrogenous ferti-
iizer approximately 100 percent, and,
at the same time a tremendous in
crease has been made in the acreage
OF winter and summer legumes. In
tne 2o's hardly any cover crops were
planted anywhere in Mississippi.
The fact that this area has been
increasing its use of nitrogen in the
commercial form as well as through
planting legumes, crop yields Der
acre have been doubled on a great
majority of soil types. nevertheless,
there are soils in the eastern part OF
the delta and in the brown loan
area which are showing need OF
phosphate and potash as well as
lime. The continued use of heavy
applications Of nitrogen on cotton
crops forms taking out process that
causes mineral deficiencies to show
UP more than normally.

Nov that the Scouts in the Amer

ask you to let the Boy Scouts of

grateful we are to them for their as
sistance to our own Scouts while
they were our guests.
From all over the country have
come stories of their ceaseless eff
forts to help us to keep Troops 60
ing and to start new ones. In many
cases this entailed long cross coun-
try journeys through wintry wealth
er week after week but they have
certainly helped our Scouts at all
times and have shown the true spirit
of Brotherhood.
"In these days when Nations find
it so difficult to understand each
other, it is truly splendid thing
that in Scouting we can all join and
do our best to make better world
in the future.

everywhere, ! say thank you for all
you have done-a magnificent job
and one which we shall never forget.
