Soil Fertility
Best Investment
A Farmer Makes

Don't skimp on fertilizer
use,' says George Vapaa, coun-
ty agent with the University of
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service. "Soil fertility repre-
sents one of the best invest
ments a farmer can make to-
day."
Farmers who try to save
money by buying less fertilizer
can cut income faster than they
cut out-of-pocket COSTS" he
says.
Most farmers will find that
one of the best ways to meet
the present price-cost squeeze
is to expand the use of fertiliz-
er on their farms-at the right
place and time and in the right
amounts"
Use of fertilizer does not au-
tomatically guarantee higher net
returns, however. Test your
soils first to determine the needs
of each field. For example, use

MILLIONS

The nearly four million projects completed by
100000 All Club boys and girls in single year
is further proof that the learn by doing" system
Is keeping young minds and hands busy AS
matter of fact youth specialists say that the
hundred or 80 categories of All projects are the
very backbone of the organization which has
grown steadily for more than half century
During the past three decades the number of
girls enrolled in All has topped the boys in
Just about the same proportion, according to
figures supplied by the USDA. There are pres
emily some 100000 more girls than boys in club
work Ages range from 10 to 81 years.
Originally planned to help farm youngsters the
voluntary educational program now claims nearly
half its membership from city and non-farm rural
homes. Apparently pride of accomplishment" is
a key factor in the success of this particular
brand of youth organization.
Right from the very beginning of All, interested
parties have donated awards in recognition of
top performance in citizenship, leadership and
project achievement. This fall more than thou

portionately heavier burden of
dependents than are urban peo-
pie. Children constitute a large
segment of the rural support
burden and upon reaching en-
playable age many leave the
farm community to 60 to the

investment of rearing the chill
