I a better balance between feed supplies and Uveatoek number* will. eventually reduce grain supplies I and create a better basis tor corn price*. However, such a balance is j still some time In th* future. Since harvest time, the farm price of corn after going up about eight oents dropped back so that ! the Illinois farm price is only about three cents above the November IS price. On the other haud.

Promoting Good Soil Practice

LA FAYETTE. IND.-Wi h sctsn- , title research and soil testing constantly making available mor* exact knowledge about the fertilizer need* of specific crop* and soil*, every farmer today should make •ure he is supplying enough plant food in hi* fertilizers to correct th* |j deficiencies in hi* soil, an agricultural bulletin point* out. "The cost per too of fertilizer should not determine what grade or analysis is used on your farm." the i bulletin declares. "U one find* a •oil low in available plant food, it I costs comparatively httle per acre , to apply extra fertilizer, or another grad* of fertilizer to meet hi* kpecilic need*. In some cases the correct baianc* may actually cost les*. 'Tor example, when com sell* tor only 40 cent* per bushel, the cost of 100 pounds of 0-12-12 fertilize would be equal to only 3 6 bushels of corn, while 0-14-6 would cost 3.3 bushels; 2-124 would represent 3 5 bushel* and 3-13-12 only about 4 3 bushels. Yet only a small increase in yield or an improvement in quality will mor* than pay for using more fertilizer per acre or for buyj ing the proper analysis needed for your corn crop. 'The same holds true whether It ia potatoes, sugar beet*, wheat beans, truck or tnuck crops. That the costs tor fertilizer per •ere for increasing crop yields ar* comparatively small is shown t>v fertilizer etost figure* released re cently tor Indiana tomato growers . -
