Farm Crop Yields
May Be Only Half

Can you name the most wide,
spread deficiency affecting farm
crops yields today?
It's not what you might think.
Water is the culprit often re,
sponsible for low yields, says
John Slipher, extension soil con.
servationist. Not that soil fertility
is unimportant; either NATURAL OF
plant food from the fertilizer bag
must provide a nourishing diet
before any plant in field, garden
or orchard can do its best.
But, as F. S. Hewlett, Ohio
State University horticulturiSt,
points out, fruit growers apply
fertilizer hoping to increase yields
10 to Is percent. They may be un-
aware that water deficits fire.
quently reduce the yields as much
at 50 percent. Quality of the crop
may drop to an even greater de-
gree. The same holds true for all
field and garden crops"
In fact, if you apply fertilizer
where water supply is already be-
low par. you are only aggravating
the problem and yields will be
doubly disappointing. The fertili-
zer promotes lusher early season
growth; and then when dry
weather comes the crop needs
even more water than it would
have without fertilizer. Plants
suffer more often produce less
than they would have done with
out fertilization.
Some soils make much better
use of the natural rainfall than
others, Slipher says. Dense, level,
upland soils with poor underain-
age tend to glaze over in a hard
rain, allowing relatively little of
the rain water to enter. the soil.
They are made up of silt parti-
cles, and lack the dumping or
granulation which spells good
water retention. So they lose
water from natural rainfall in
two ways Such soils have earned
the name of being "drouthy". Ad-
ding to the low organic content of
these soils can markedly improve
them for accepting and holding
water within the soil body.
Soils with better tilth quality
take up more of the rainfall and
hold more of it in their pore
spaces, Slipher reveals. Pore
space makes up about half the
volume of the best loan soils.
Crops grow best when pore space
is filled roughly half with air and

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Please permit me to introduce
myself, I am William 1. Beer,
Director of Education at the Lon
don Prison Farm.
l am writing this letter to you
because l do not want to be teach
ing the young people of London
when they become adults. I am
very sincere in the belief that the
best way to curb juvenile dilin-
quency is through our educational
systems.
The London Public School is
asking the people of our commun-
ity to pass a four mill levy on
November the second. This levy, as
I understand it, will be used for
the most part to increase the sal
aries of our teachers and other
school employees who are now
shamefully underpaid Every year
we have many young people grad
uate from Colleges of Education
throughout the United States who
try to teach and live on the salary
now paid to teachers, only to find
that the cost of living forces them
out of the field into more lucra-
tive employment in industry and
business. I was trained to be 3
teacher at the Ohio State Unlver-
sity and had the desire to teach
young people, but I readily saw I
could not give my own children
the necessities of life if I remain
ed in public school education. 1

This work points out to me each
day that it is worth as much to
the people of a community to have
their children we'll educated as it
is for them to pay to educate a.

realized American designing and

by IS top psychologists, anthro-

and behavior as well as parents
and teen-agers themselves.
What the Children's Bureau
has tried to do in this bulletin, &"
says DR.. Martha M. Eliot, the
bureaus chief" is to give some
of the underlying needs of young

result in behavior that is some
times hard for parents to under

Parents will not find all the

that parents who read the bulle-
