Plant Food Produces
Three-TO-ONE- Return
In Hioher Crop Value

DR.. Garth Volk, chairman of
Ohio State Universitys agronomy
department, reports that every
dollar a farmer invests in fertiliz-
er returns him SO in increased crop
value from higher yields.
That's a good trade" he said.
1T gives you a So profit for every
dollar you spend. I'd like to deal
with a bank on that basis"
Volk reports that fast year Ohio
farmers bought about $50 million
worth of fertilizer. He estimates
that this outlay returned $50 mil
lion to the states farmers.
"Now you subtract $50 million
from that total" he said, land it
gives Ohio farmers a $100 million
net profit just for the simple op-
Grafton of applying fertilizer to
their land"
Volk summed up the value OF
plant food when he said: "A farm.
er cannot afford not to use fertiliZ'
er to obtain high crop yields these
days."

The present administration is
being criticized, as had the past
one, for not doing something about
the agricultural surpluses which
are piling up. Secretary of Agri-
culture Benson, particularly, is
now slowly soaking in hot water.
Unless something happens soons,
the pot will begin to sSoil.
But before the flames begin to
lick too high, let's look at the
agricultural situation a bit more
closely. Actually, we who live in
the United States do not realize
how lucky our situation is as COM
pared to those of other countries
in the world.
Two-thirds of the people in the
world will go to bed hungry to-
night. They would feel fell fed if
they but had the scraps which we
throw in our garbage cans.
People in the oriental countries
have far different philosophy
about human lives than we do.
They will protect the lives and the
welfare of their livestock like we
do human lives.
But that is beside the point. The
paramont question in our minds
is-what are we going to do with
our present surpluses?
There is considerable talk that
Benson or some of the other toy
boys in the administration should
do something about it. And here
in lays one of our biggest faults.
There is one in this administra-
tion-or any other administration
who is able to solve this problem
of surpluses and production alone.
Our type government, though ii
is still the best in the world, has
become big and cumbersome.
There is so much red tape to cut
before anything can be done that
lots of time slips by.
Another thing, too many people
in the us. have gotten lazy. They
have come to look upon the go
vernment as the "Great-all'. The
feeling is prevalent that once we
get in jam of some kind that all
we have to do is turn to the go.
vernment and we will be taken off
the hook. This kind of thinking is
extremely dangerous.
Here is why. There may come
a. day when minority of unscru-
pulous politicians will say, "Al.
right since you want the govern.
ment to do it, it will be done this
way or that way-and you will
like it or else. 1t won't happen
here? Don't kid yourself!

substituted for Marche Luccioni,
who was indisposed). The fragile
and diminutive appearance of the
artist, whose Oriental beauty suit
ed admirably the character OF
Cho-Cho San, although geogra-
phically and sentimentally the
Philippines and Japan are far
apart.
Madame Butterfly obtained a
brilliant and well-deserved sue
cess, thanks to her solid and lus-
cious voice. In parts where she
was less at ease, she used extreme
caution, especially in passages
where she had no opportunity to
display her top notes. In fact. the
public took no notice of these very
momentary passages, because Dali
say Aldaba-an accomplished ar
fist, sensitive and intelligent. up
set her audience that discovered
for the first time h primitive

is the representative of that now

vocal force like those of a sta
