Elimination of the very small high schools of Indiana as a step toward greater economy in educational costs is urged by Benjamin Burris state superintendent of public instruction in a bulletin on the “cost of instruec. tion in Indiana high schools,” which was issued the other day, - ' Mr. Burris sets out that it is not proposed that any child be deprived ol a high school education. He shows conclusively however that in numer ous rural high schools the enrollmen is so low that the unit costs of instruc tion. are excessive. Many counties the bulletin says are top-heavy with high schools and taxp:g.yers are paying much more than the statewide average for this type of education computed on the basis of unit in. structional costs. ;

FERTILIZERS L (By Tim E. Gaby) Progressive farmers are pretty much agreed today, that the farmer trying to raise wheat without the help of a good commerical fertilizer is a good deal like trying to produce the crop in the great arid southwest The venture is confronted with sc many pitfalls and depepndent upon So many conditions of nature tha! man has no control over that it does not pay to gamble, While the use .of plant food o 1 fertilizer when judiciously used will pay on any farm crop, there is a vex‘,\j! logical reason why by all means i} should be used with. the sowing ol winter wheat, Perhaps the best Tea son for its use is the time.of year we sow ‘wheat, almost at the end of the growing season as a time when }it will soon have to enter the ‘dor. mant stage and support its root sysa \tem from the growth it has beer able to make in its top. '

You no doubt have heard anQ learned a good deal about bacteria of soy beans ,alfalfa, and sweel clover, and ‘the great service that they perform by changing the nitro- | gen of the air to a form that it can be ‘utilized by growing plants, bul I wonder if you know that every change which animal and vegetable matter ander go before they can be used by growing plants is made pos sible by what is known as .soil bacteria, There are a great many kinds of soil bacteria as 'in a ‘greay factory, as a set of skilled workmen for each special line of work. The nitrogen from the afr, which we have learned is transferred to the soil by the list of plants known as legumes is acted upon by three different sets of soil bacteria before it can be usec by plants. The first set produce soil ammonia, the second set produch nitrite and the third set the finishec nitrate or plant nitrogen. In this connection of bacteérial life of the soil I Wish to urge the use of lime. Now a good many farmers think that lime is a fertilizer it is not in any sense ‘a fertilizer, its action on the soil is the same aswhen the good wife puts apinch of soda in the pancake batter or the baker sweetens his sponge. Their reasons for doing this is to correct . the acidity or sourness,-and to make con. ditions favorable for the multiplications of large numbers of baoteria: which cause the pancake to rise, andé as Bijll Nye said: when his housekeeper left him and he tried a bak ing of bread him self, have 4ir holes in. . < .

Some farmers believe that commer cial fertilizer will injure the land this is a mstaken idea, Soil is de. pleted by improper rotations oos crops, failure on the part of the far mer to heed the laws of nature tc return something back to the soil tc keep up the humus. In the process of dissimination of vegetable . and animal matter in to plant food com: bustion of the three gases, nitrogen hydrogen and oxygen takes place and heat is generated which burns the humus out of the scil ,and unless provision is made to. supply more humus by plowing something unde eventually the soil will become hard and will not absorb water enough tc grow the crop. Humus gives the soil its power to absorb and hold moisture Fertilizer to be certain ,will hasten the hardening of the soil by the larger yields secured by its use, bu) it is unfair to assume that adding 2 plant food To the soil, where thag§ soil is defficient in that element wili ruin the soil, for if that were true how could we account:for the pro ductiveness of the great wheat fieldt of Russia other than the large amount of- phosphate which . those¢ field contain. These felds contain almost inexaustible supplies of phox phate while virgin soil of Indiana contain less than 700 pounds. These large deposits of phosphate and potash found in differnt parts of the world are for man’s use the same as coal and other minerals and it is certainly a mistake to think that add. ng a commerical plant food 'to a soil that is sadly in need of that ele men will ruin the soil. With the list of legumes we have and knowledge of the way to keep up the humus ot the soil no farmer needs to worry about hurting his farm with commer cial fertilizer. :

Getting back to the reasons why wheat should be fertilized and as has been explained plants are dependent upon soil bacterkia for dissimination of their food ,unfortunate. ly at the time of year we have to sow wheat on account of Hessian fly these friendly little workers of the isoivl‘ are beginning to take their vacation. The ground is beginning tc get too cold for the multiplication oy bacterial life so you need to supply a commerical plant food that is ag nearly prepatred as possible to meel ‘the requirements of the plants whick means that the fertilizer must be oj high availability and be soluable ir water, This is no time to dump a lot of tobacco stems cotton waste old shoes, rubbish and what not intc the soil factory for transforming ir to plant food with ‘the laborers on ¢ vacation. -

If we will look well into putting our soil into proper condition for bacteria to thive use good grades of commercial plant foods and include in our rotations alfalfa, soy beans and sweet clover you will 8001 surprise yourself by what the old farm will do . from a production standpeint. And marketing, did you say? Well that is another subject and the Farm Bureau wil ltake care of that too. o :
