Soil Building Key
TO Higher Yields,
Lower Output Costs

CHICAGO - Farm production
costs have nearly tripled since the
prewar days of 1935-39, declared
the Middle West Soil Improvement
Committee in a statement issued
here.
Farm wages are now three and
half times the 1859 average,
according to U. S. Department of
Agriculture statistics," says the
statement. "The cost Of seed, feed,
and many other things farmers buy
has scared.
Meanwhile, farm prices have
sIurnped and many economists ex-
pect a further easing in the period
ahead.
Farmers can meet the impact
of higher production costs and low
er prices by good soil management
that steps up crop producing eff
cheney and cuts output costs per
unit. With fertilizer still one of the
best buys in farm production costs,
soil building for high production is
mere profitable than ever.
Good soil management means
teamwork in which a number of
different measures back each other
up. These include a good rotation,
built around deep-rooted legumes,
lining, the use Of phosphate and
potash fertilizer, the return of barn
yard manure and crop aftermaths
to the soil.
"Working together these, men,
bers of the soil management team
will build up your soils organic
matter, improve tilth and drainage
and give crop roots more living
space in which to forage for plant
nutrients"

Agron0my Society
Publishes Magazine

Ohio farmers and others inter
ested in agriculture have a new
easy-to-read magazine now avail
able to them. Carrying the latest
developments in crops and soils,
the magazine is published by the
American Society of AgronOmy.
Designed to fill the gap be-
tween the scientific journal and
the popular farm magazine, this
new publication will be directed
to men and women who are not
technically trained, according to
d. r. Dodd, extension specialist
in agronomy at Ohio state univCr-
sitv and secretary Of the corn belt
branch Of the American society
Of agr2ron1y.
Anyone who has a serious in
terest in accurate and authorita-
tive reports on farm crops and
soils, he says, win find this
magazine, entitled, "Whats New
In Crops and Soils" extremely
useful.
"Probably the most important
factors concerned in the world
food situation today are crops and
soils" Mr.. Dodd continues. Ger
tainly the new crops and tilIagc
practices should be of major i'm
portance to every Ohio farmer" "
Articles in this new magazine
are by persons doing agricultural
research or educational work
with various state, federal and
private organizations. They are
first hand accounts of recent
findings told in everyday Ian
guage.
The American Society of Ag-
ronomy which fosters this maga-
zine is a non-profit professional
organization of persons working
with soils and crops.

grown previously? What was the

been handled? How about the crop
rotation? Has the soil been lined?
What fertilizer treatment has it
had?

Here's Best Wcy
l. TO Store Plant
Food Til SPRING

CHICAGO-Fertilizer bought now
can be safely stored on farms this
winter and kept in good condition
until spring planting time, if farm
ers follow few simple precautions,
declared the Middle West Soil I'm
provement Committee in a state
ment issued here.
''By placing their orders for fer
tilizer now and taking delivery as
soon as they can get it," says the
statement, farmers can be sure Of
having on hand all the plant food
they need for the 1949 crop season.
! THAT is particularly important in
view of the fact that even with pres
ent high production, supplies of
some fertilizers may fall consider
ably short of all needs next spring" !"
The committee suggests these WIN
ter storage rules:
1-Store sacks Of plant food only
in the barn or some other dry build
ing that has flooring off the ground.
! 2-If you have to use earth or ce-
ment floors, stack fertilizer bags on
a crib of blocks and boards.
3-If sacks are Of burlap, keep
the piles close together. This will
reduce the circulation of air from
which the fertilizer may soak up
moisture.
/ 4-Put no more than 7 or 8 bags
in stack. In high stacks the pres
sure of the top bags will tend to
cake the fertilizer on the bottom Of
the pile.
! 5-Keep broken bags separate
from the main pile. Loose fertilizer

ed management program. Here are
suggested steps:
! 1-SWeeten acid soils with lime,
according to tests.
/ 2-Use rotation that balances
soil-building against soil-robbing
crops.
/ 3-Build up the organic matter
supply by growing Well-fed deep
rooted legumes and grasses. Put
back manure and crop residues.
! 4-Feed the soil plenty of plant
nutrients in the form of commercial
fertilizer carrying nitrogen, phos-
phate and potash as needed.
! 5-Keep the soil home by con-
tour cultivation, strip cropping and
terracing, where necessary.

Vegetable Men
Talk PeIleting,
Pre-Packaging

Pelleting of seed before its
planted and packaging of the
vegetable crop for retail sale Of
fer two interesting possibilities
toward improving the production
and marketing of Ohio,s Vege-
tables, according to Alvin Moll,
extension specialist at Ohio State
University.
Commenting on the thirty
fourth annual meeting Of the
Ohio Vegetable and Potato
Growers Association, the vcgc-
table specialist says the approx
mately 700 growers attending
were especially interested in seed
pelIeting and pro-packaging de-
SCLcrH?ents
Pe1ie0ng Of seeds, he explains,
involves coating the seed with in
ert material, thus increasing the
original size or bulk as much as
90 or mere times. This permits
the precision planting Of small
seeds with machinery, and ma
teriaIs may be combined in the
coating to combat insects, fungi,
and weeds, as we'll as fertilizers
and other elements to promote
growth.
Growers attending the annual
meeting heard DR.. r. L. Carolus,
of the department of horticulture.
Michigan State College, report
that as a result Of tests to date
the Widespread use of pcIlctcd
seed is perhaps as far off as the
use Of atomic energy. Dr.. Carolus
did suggest, however, that grow
ers may trial paintings Of pellet
ed melon, cucumber and sweet
corn seed this year and compare
the results with conventional
paintings.
Stressing better merchandise Of
homegrown vegetables Dr.. Car
olus declared, 'Produce is no
longer sold, but is only offered
for sale, and must sell itself"
Producers will be forced to
comply with changing market
situation, he added, and the ans
wer probably lies in producer
cooperation in bringing together
large volumes Of a more stand
ardized product.
"By prepackaging at the farm,
a grower can advertise his extra
quality and build up repeat sales.
While many prepackaging prob
lens still exist. in arear of high
consumption, where markets can
be reached overnight, the posi-
bilities Of this method Of mcr-
chandising and advertising should
not be overlooked, he concluded.
Describing what the United
Fresh Fruit and Vegetable As
sociation is doing to boost retail
sales of vegetables, Kris Bcmis,
of the association, told the grow
ers they can protect and increase
their profits by helping retailers
move their produce more cffici-
emily. Trained produce depart
ments will sell 80 percent more
vegetables, he said, while at the
same time giving the consumer
better products at the same or
lower cost.

"In competitive selling, the farm
